Sleeps through the night and loves Cheerios? Fantastic!

So Jacob loves Cheerios! I went grocery shopping on Sunday (while Jacob had fun with Grandma and Grandpa) and I got whole wheat Cheerios without the glaze. I gave him a couple yesterday and judging by his face it did not go over so well. Today, I gave him a fistful of O's in a bowl to play with. He spilled them all over the kitchen floor and enjoyed picking them up. At one point I have noticed that he popped one O in his mouth, then another, then another, then another... so the boy loves Cheerios after all. Ha! Persistence payed off!

We are so happy to have Gram back home! When we need someone to talk to we don't have to travel very far-- just walk downstairs. Saturday was pretty difficult for me- my back was hurting. I took Jacob to the playground- and to my surprise walking made my back feel a little better. My mom came over and joined us at the playground. She brought me some "special" oils and creams to relieve and sooth my back. Scottie was there to pick up Jacob when I needed him. I felt a lot better on Sunday. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for most of the day. Monday we went to St. Brendan's playgroup and Danielle and Thomas joined us. The boys had a great time! Jacob was playing with all of his friends; Thomas, Matthew, Grace. One of the little girls (18 months or more) planted a big kiss on Jacob-- it was really cute.

So I have mentioned before that I have discontinued nighttime nursing and last night Jacob SLEPT THE WHOLE NIGHT 7:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. that's 10.5 hours without waking up. It was amazing!!! Naps were very good today as well (each 1.5 hrs long). They say that sleep begets sleep. I am very cautious with the jinx factor and will see what tonight brings. We've had a very laid back day. We hung out with Gram, Auntie Julie, and Auntie Karen. Then, we went to the park/playground with the Babe. To my surprise it was quite deserted there. Later in the evening we went to Grandpas'. (My mom picks up Adrian and Isabelle from school almost everyday- so she is usually not home.) Jacob has been rolling a ball back and forth with Grandpa and also he was clapping for himself. He might be a ball player someday! He can even hold a medium size ball only with one hand. I've got to get some pics of it!
