Home Again
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:16 PM About Jake
Well we've been home from Yosemite for a few days now. Jacob had a great time there and loved the cold water of the Merced River on his feet. I have a journal I kept for him that I will have to post when I have lots of time to type. For now let's just say, he had fun watching the squirrels, birdies, riding in his bike trailer and stroller, and taking baths out in the open on the picnic table! We even had a bear in our campground one night. Good thing he didn't get to anything and we were able to scare him off.
Jacobs two bottom teeth finally broke threw when we were there. You could barely see them, but you could feel them. You can see them a little more now, but daddy still has a hard time seeing them. Jacob is becoming much more vocal now. He is making lots of different sounds, but his favorite to make is "who." He sounds like a little owl. He is starting to get brave and let go of the couch while standing up. He manages to stay standing for a fraction of a second, but it's a little longer than before. Tonight while getting a bath, he was splashing in the water so much that I was pretty much soaked by the time the bath was over...I should have just gotten in with him. He was having a great time in there. We haven't been to swim in a while. We obviously missed last week because we were gone and this morning Jacob was still taking a nap when it was time to go. I didn't want to wake him up from it because he had only been sleeping for about 20 minutes and I want him to sleep as much as he needs to. Hopefully his nap schedule won't conflict with swim on Thursday.
Jacob is getting into more and more things now. He has learned how to pull plugs out of their sockets, so he have to keep an extra close eye on him. He has also learned to open the drawer underneath the stove. I think daddy needs to put the safety clips in the kitchen now. Today I was making something in the oven and Jacob kept wanting to touch the oven. I finally had to make a barricade between the couch and the fish tank using his playpin. He was clever and found a way through that so I had to add his exersaucer and then he was trapped. He is constantly on the move and does not like to sit still. He would rather be standing than sitting. I think it makes him feel bigger:)
Okay, now the "gross" stuff. Yesterday he had one diaper that had a little diarrhea in it. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but today after his normal morning poop, he had three more diapers with diarrhea throughout the day. I'll have to watch him tomorrow. If it continues, I'll call the doctor just to make sure everything is okay. I don't want to be too paranoid or anything, but I also want to make sure he's okay!
Alright, time to try to go to sleep early. I'm tired! So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
