Oh, boy!

~Check me out~

Today Matthew and Thomas came to play. Jacob was so happy to fight for toys, listen to a book on CD, pop bubbles, and imitate his friends. He was in a good mood considering the fact that he took 3 naps (in his crib) that totaled one hour. In addition, he had a day full of injuries. He fell down backwards on the kitchen floor and bumped his head (ouch!), Thomas scratched him behind the ear (ouch!), he bumped his temple on the crib (ouch!), and a few more bumps and bruises...oh boy! I think mommy feels a bit guilty tonight. Well, let's concentrate on the positive... I got a bit impatient and offered Jacob sweet potato which he disliked a lot, so then I said what the heck.. let's see if likes banana? He LIKES to eat bananas. Yeah! Also, he rode in a big boy car seat for the first time today and LIKED it a lot. Yeah! So all in all, wonderful day with friends.

Let's re-cap the beginning of the week. We went to St. Brendan's playgroup on Monday, and Tuesday we went shopping at Target and then we visited Grandma and Grandpa. Jacob is pulling himself up constantly now. He pulls up on the fence, on the kitchen chairs, on his Bebe pod chair (it's a no no), on the stereo (a bigger no no), on the door frame (a huge no no), and on his crib. He is so driven to be upright, it's ridiculous and concerning.
