Princess Party
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:57 PM About Jake
Before we get to the princess party...
Since Jacob is now drinking from his bottle, mommy and daddy were able to go on a date:) It was nice to be alone, but the whole time we missed our little boy. When we got home Jacob was sound asleep and Nani said they had a good time together. I think Jacob missed us because he ended up waking up at 11pm, he used the excuse that he was hungry, but Bill and I know it was because he wanted to see us before he was truly out for the night.
This afternoon we went to a Princess birthday party for Alyssa who turned 3 today. Mommy and Daddy can't believe what a big girl Alyssa is now. We still remember seeing her in the hospital room the day she was born. Anyway, she's a little princess now and we were invited to her birthday party. She had a big princess jumper and all the little kids were jumping in it (with their dads). Daddy was in there (without Jacob of course) and used the excuse that he was video taping. I think the dads liked the jumper more than the kids. Before we knew it all the kids were out and the dads were still in there. I think the kids thought it was a little too rough with all the "big" boys in it. Jacob had a good time at his friend's birthday. He was fascinated with the balloons they had in their house. The minute we walked in the house Auntie Melinda grabbed Jacob and mommy and daddy watched him get passed around from person to person. But he had a good time:)
Later this evening we met Nani, Papa, Grandnina, Corty and Taylor at El Pollo Loco for a quick (late) dinner. Jacob was so tired, he fell asleep in the car (a 5 minute car ride, if that) and was OUT when we got home. He didn't even wake up as I took him out of the car seat. Before I layed him in his crib I was holding him like I used to hold him when he was weeks old to go to sleep. His head was on my shoulder. When he was about 2 months old and younger he would fall asleep in that position. Now he likes to be held "like a baby" to fall asleep. Anyway, as I was holding him before I put him down, I remembered how little he was when I held him like that. Now his legs dangle down to my legs, whereas before they would be crunched into his body and not even touch my waist. I will admit a few tears came out of my eyes as I realized my little baby is growing up. Monday he will be 6 months old already! I can't believe it. I love that he is growing bigger and learning new things, but at the same time sometimes I wish he was still a little tiny newborn. Daddy walked into Jacobs room as I was holding him swaying back and forth with a tear running down my face. I think he thought I was being a little silly for crying, but it does make me a little sad knowing our baby is getting so big, but that's a good thing that he's growing up. I can't wait for his doctor's appointment on Monday to find out how long he is and how much he weighs...I really hope he has gained more weight. I think he looks bigger and he is definitely longer!
Tomorrow we are going to see Jacob's friend Aiden and his mommy, daddy and brother. Aiden and Jacob are only 6 days apart so it will be fun to put the two of them together to see how well they "play" together! So until we write again...mommy and daddy love you!
