New Friends
Posted by Missy Roberts at 2:03 AM About Jake
This morning Jacob and I went to the mommy and me group at our church for the first time. There are LOTS of little ones running around in this group. Boy, are they adorable! When we first arrived all the little kids were running around the room playing tag. Jacob was intrigued. He was watching everything they were doing and smiling A LOT. A little later another mom with a 4 month old girl came in. We ended up talking the whole time and our babies were smiling back and forth at eachother. I really think Jacob enjoyed his time there. He wouldn't stop watching what all the kids were doing. I think when he gets older he's really going to like going there.
Later in the afternoon I tried giving Jacob some formula out of a sippy cup instead of a bottle. He struggled at first, but eventually got the hang of sucking out of it. It looked a little complicated for him so I quickly put some formula into a bottle and tried again with the bottle. He took a few sucks, got a little formula in him and then he was done. Although the mission was not totally successful, I did make progress and that made me feel a little better. After Bill got off work, the two boys played with eachother while I worked on some Father's Day present stuff.
Alright, it's currently 1:53 am. I just finished feeding Jacob and putting him back to sleep. He woke up at about 12:30 with a stuffed up nose. So out came the "nose picker" (which he HATES). I was trying to use it while he was drowsy, but as soon as he felt it go up his nose, he started screaming...but I was victorious and picked a winner:) Once he could breath again, he decided he was hungry and did not want to go back to sleep until he got what he wanted...so here I am writing at 2am because I can't get back to sleep now. I wonder when the next time I get to sleep the whole night through will be? This little munchkin likes to wake up between 11:30pm and 1am to eat. Which is fine except, I haven't been able to fall asleep easily lately. I think I am just anticipating him waking up and don't want to fall asleep until I've feed him again, but it never fails, as soon as I doze off, Jacob wakes up about 15-30 minutes later! Then he'll wake up again sometime between 3:30 and 5:30am for another feeding. He sure seems to be eating a lot, but his skinny body is not showing for it. Today he nursed and then I gave him some cereal. I made the first "batch," fed it to him and with the last spoonful he was still going after the spoon. When there was no more he was still leaning in for the spoon. So I made a little more and he gobbled that up quickly, but I think that last little bit satisfied him. He is so funny when he eats his cereal, he's getting pretty good at eating and keeping it in his mouth. It will be interesting to see how he does with fruits and veggies. I'm sure his face will be quite messy. Right now it's not so bad because the cereal is basically white and blends in with his white skin:) But once we get those carrots and peas in, I'm sure we'll have some very funny but cute pictures to take.
Alright, my eyes are starting to burn so hopefully I'll fall asleep fast. Good night and always remember mommy and daddy love you Jacob!
