lunch with friends
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:36 PM About Jake
This afternoon Jacob met up with two of his friends, Matthew and London (and their mommies Auntie Jen and Melina), for lunch in Temecula. Jacob was a good boy during lunch and so were his friends! We all had a good time talking and eating. Jacob's friends are 9 months old and they are big boys. They like to eat and drink from bottles so Mommy was telling Jacob to watch them and take notes. Jake is still not taking the bottle. We went and bought two different bottle/nipples today. One of the nipples was shaped like his pacifier, which he loves, and still he would not take it. His nani came over this evening and mommy told her to try giving him the bottle. I don't think Nani has ever seen Jacob cry that much. Again he made the gagging motion:( the little stinker. We even tried two different types of nipples (slow and fast) and still nothing. Tomorrow we will try again with the same bottle and then if that doesn't work in a couple of days we'll try the other bottle we bought today. I know eventually he'll take to it.
Yesterday Jacob and mommy went to King High to see a rally (the end of the year one). Jacob must not have been too interested in it because he fell asleep during it and it was fairly loud in the gym. he was a good boy again. He was smiling at all the students and all of mommies friends at work. It was nice to see everyone but mommy reaffirmed that she really doesn't miss working now that she has Jacob. On Tuesday evening the whole family went to the ASB banquet. The ASB students had mommy as their guest of honor and gave her a gift certificate to say thank you for the half year she put in. Again, it was great to see the kids, they really are great people, but mommy said she didn't really miss the work.
Jacob had a busy week spending most of the time playing of course. He slept in his bed the whole week without having to go into mommy and daddy's bed. He likes sleeping on his belly. Friday morning when we woke up and checked on Jacob, his bottom was sticking straight up in the air. He looked so cute! When mommy puts him down to sleep he usually rolls right over to his side, once in a while he will stay on his back. By morning he is totally on his tummy. He has been waking up once to eat early in the morning between 1 and 3am. Then he usually wakes up fussy at some other point at night. Mommy puts some music on and he goes right back to sleep. He continues to love his exersaucer. On Friday he discovered how to pull down on one of the toys to make it play music. So he pulled on it a few times in a row. Mommy's not convinced that he knew he was making it sing, but more that he was holding on to the toy and when he shook his arm he pulled on it. But we know eventually he will pulling the heck out of those toys. He is discovering more and more of the toys and how they work. He's figured out how to turn the pages on the "book" that is there and he still loves the thing that rolls. Mommy loves to watch his face as he plays in it. He has his inquisitive look and then his excited look when he is enjoying it. He is so adorable.
Tomorrow is Grandma's birthday so we are taking her out to breakfast. I'm sure we will all have a great time with her...so until tomorrow when we check in again, mommy and daddy love you!
