Jacob's first crush, well sort of...
Posted by Missy Roberts at 9:20 PM About Jake
Poor Jacob had a busy weekend with mommy. Saturday we had two showers to go to. One was a baby shower for Jennifer Nicastro. She's having a boy and is due any day now. She looked great and we had a lot of fun at the shower. Jacob was all smiles to all the women there and had fun playing with his toys and getting passed around for a little while. Then we picked up Nani and went to the Duran house for a bridal shower for Lauren. She and Robert are getting married in Hawaii in October...how nice. Jacob was a good boy there too. He was a little tired there becuase he really didn't get a good nap in the afternoon, but he was a trooper. When we got home he was pooped and was glad to see his daddy...a break from all the women he spent the day with.
Cute funny story about Jacob Saturday morning. Mommy learned a lesson with this story. So, daddy left early in the morning to spend the day with his mommy and daddy:) Jacob really needed to take a bath Sat. morning becasue he didn't get one the night before and he was a dirty baby. I was getting him ready to get in the bath tub. So as I was filling up the bath tub, I thought it would be smart to multi-task since to speed up the process (mistake #1). I had Jacob in our room playing on the floor with a couple of toys...I knew he couldn't get into too much trouble there. So after turning on the water and getting it to the right temperature, I went into my room to undress Jacob. I had him completely nudey:) and left him in the room playing with the toy as I went back into the bathroom to turn off the water (mistake #2). When I returned, I found Jacob sitting on the floor playing with his toy in a puddle of peepee...oops. I guess that's why babies wear diapers all the time. I had to laugh at the situation. Of course he had no problem sitting in his own urine playing with his toy. I think I might have been gone for a whoel 15 seconds...just enough time to walk the 10 steps to the bathroom, turn the knob and walk back another 10 steps. I guess that is all it takes for a little one to tinkle. We've really never had problems with him tinkling when we change his diaper. I think maybe he's gotten us 2 or 3 times total. Maybe I sat him under the air conditioning vent and it turned on just as I left the room and he got cold and out it came. I am lucky that it was #1 and not #2...that would have been gross. So now I know...I can't take his diaper off until he is just about to go into the tub...either that or I need to turn off the water and THEN get him undressed so he goes straight into the tub. Oh well, lesson learned.
Today, while at church, Jacob played with a 3 month old little girl. I think this is his first crush:). He could not stop touching her. It was cute and funny. Fortunately, the mom was really nice and allowed Jacob to play with her daughter. He was being nice and touching nice, not smacking her and pulling on her face like he does with mommy and daddy. I don't think I've seen him more interested in anything else like he was with her. He must have been playing with her for a good 15 minutes. Everytime I tried taking him away, he would cry. I tried distracting him with different toys and he pushed the toy away, or didn't even pay attention to it...he was focused on little Haley. She was a pretty baby, so at least we know he has good taste. The funniest part was that there were two other little girls in the room, both also laying on the floor and she was the only one he went after. She was a blondie with blue eyes.
After church we went with Nani and Papa to visit Uncle Rick and Auntie Martha. We just found out that they are moving to Seattle next weekend. Boy were we in shock about that one. We thought they were going to be moving to Tennessee next year, but nope...Uncle Rick got a great job at Microsoft so they leave next weekend for Seattle. They were packing up their stuff for the movers who are coming on Thursday. So now we have another place to go visit family. We can go back east to Virginia, to the south in Georgia, to the desert in Arizona or the Pacific northwest to Washington. I hope no one else wants to move away from us!
So Jacob had a busy weekend and he is pooped. I told tomorrow we will lay low and relax at our house...plus I need to get a lot of laundry done:) Daddy is leaving for a business trip to Seattle on Tuesday so I guess we should send him off with clean clothes:) Until next time...mommy and daddy love you
