Playing Catchup
Posted by Missy Roberts at 11:03 AM About Jake
We had a pretty busy week. Monday Jacob got together with his friend Aiden and went to Irvine Park again. The boys played well together at our house. Jacob was very excited to see his friend. They spent a few minutes just touching eachother and then we made our way to the park. First they explored the pumpkin patch and both tried eating the hay and leaves. Then we went on the train which I think they both liked. After that we took a walk to the zoo. On the way there were lots of ducks by the lake so we stopped and fed them some bread. The boys really liked watching the ducks, Jacob couldn't get his eyes off them. It must have been nap time for the animals in the zoo because most of them were either hiding or asleep and really hard to see. Aiden decided to join the animals in a nap and fell asleep at the zoo and was pretty much asleep the whole time. Jacob got out of the stroller a couple of times to try and see the animals. his favorites were the Alpaca and the Mountain Lion (they were the only two really awake and doing anything). Then we went back to the pumpkin patch to try to take a picture of the boys next to the big pumpkins. Jacob had other plans though. He wanted to climb on the pumpkins rather than sit next to them. Aiden was being a good boy and sitting next to the pumpkin waiting for Jacob to settle down to take a picture. Unfortunately, the picture didn't really happen. Well we did get one with Jacob crying in it because I made him sit down...oh well.
Tuesday we stayed home and ran a couple of errands, then Nani and Papa came over for dinner, but when they arrived we got some not so good news...Andrew was in the hospital having tests run on him because he was complaining of blurred vision and headaches. Oh no...of course we thought the worst. We started praying right away and then later that night we got news that everything was clear. Thank God! they are still in the process of figuring out what caused those symptoms...but as long as it wasn't the C word, then we are okay! At lunch, Jacob ate some bread, cheese and smashed carrots. While eating I noticed some red splotches around his mouth. I thought it was from the carrots, so we stopped eating, he took a nap and then redness went away. Oh no, is he allergic to carrots???
Wednesday night we went to pick up Jacob's pictures at the mall. He looked great. Nani wasn't to happy with the placement of the wings, so they are going to re-do them for us and we will pick them up early next week.
Thursday we got together with Matthew and his mommy, Auntie Jen. We met in Temecula and the boys played in a park for a little while. Then we went to lunch where Matt and Jacob had a great time sharing some food. Jacob wanted Matt's kidney beans and Matt wanted some of Jacob's bananas. They are soo cute and Matt is getting so big.
Friday, during lunch I gave Jacob some cheese and noticed the red splotches again...I guess it wasn't the carrots...its the cheese! Oh well. After daddy got off work, we took a drive to Victoria Gardens and bought Jacob some shoes that he really needs. He is in stage two and wears a size four. The salesperson said his has wide feet (and big ones too!). The shoes are really cute and I can't wait to see him wear them. he has been wearing his robeez, but he can't wear them with socks and without the socks the elastic leaves red marks on his feet and I don't like that.
Today we were supposed to go apple picking but when we woke up it was raining and pretty cold outside. Oh well, maybe another time. later this afternoon some family are coming over to celebrate my birthday. Nothing special, just low key. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
