Jake has been one big hive this week! I am almost positive he has allergies. We have found some triggers: when he runs all around, lemon, or gets upset. I will have to see if Dr. C can see him when I take Kaleb in a few weeks.
I do have to say things have been better as far as him listening and eating all of his food. We do have trouble in the "I can't do it" department. "People" baby him when it isn't needed (cut his sandwiches into bite size pieces, cut the crust off, get him dressed...shall I keep going.
Last Sunday Jake went to his first birthday party (for his girl Hannah). She lives down the street so we walked over and had a good time! The kids (Steven, Taryn, Austin, Russell, Cheyenne- from school) played a few games, ate cake, and played!
Tuesday we went to Reading Night at the school. The kids came in their jammies and enjoyed 10 minute stories in 7 classrooms. Jake was so cute, asking questions or telling the person reading that he had the book at home. He knew almost all of "Brown bear, brown bear"- the girl reading that story handed out bear necklaces. After we were done, we all headed to the cafeteria for drinks and snacks. At the end, the principal sand a few songs and played the guitar. The last part of the evening was a raffle (about 15 books)- Jake was disappointed he didn't win the "competition". It was a good few hours out of the house!
Wednesday, Tracy came with baby Sienna (she is so cute!)..and Jakob just loved her.
Friday Jake spent the day with Nana. He went to Owen Bell Park to get rid of some of his energy, and also helped prune the apple tree! At night we celebrated Grammy's birthday and watched "Happy Feet"- he was so excited for this, he told the class on Thursday!
This morning Jake was laying on the couch giving his baby "pretend breast milk".
This afternoon we went to Gwyneth's birthday party at Build a Bear in the mall. It was fun. The kids had a choice of 2 bears to pick out. When it came time for Jake's to be stuffed, he went up to the machine and when asked to sing a song he made one up called "Far away love". While they sing, they are supposed to put their foot on a foot pedal to make the machine fill the bear...well Jake is singing his heart out, tapping his foot to the beat...the machine is stopping and going...it was quite funny! I thought he was going to start singing some Johnny Cash.
I didn't know this until today that Gwyneth's Daddy has been in the Middle East for a year and a half. We did meet him at the Holiday celebration in December and he seemed excited to be there and they looked so happy. I am lucky that Todd wants to be involved and wants to go places (like today) with Jake (he was disappointed he didn't get to go to Hannah's birthday party last week). Some parents take the time they have with their children for granted.
Here is Jakob all pooped out from today with his bear "Tracy".
Jakob is obssessed with American Idol! He asks if it is on everyday.
