Play Date #2

Jacob had his second play date with Sydney today. As you can see he was not happy about posing for pictures on the bed. Sydney was such a happy girl and posed for the camera while Jacob screamed next to her. But he was pretty excited to get cozy in the car seat and head out for a long walk at the beach. It is so fun to have friends to play with!

Loving the turtle mobile

Jacob was very interested in his turtle mobile today(thanks again Lochhead family!). He was happy to lay in his crib and watch the turtles go around for about 20 minutes. It was so fun to watch his eyes follow the turtles and move from one turtle to the next as they came around. I am trying to get him used to and liking being in his crib, I think the turtles are helping!

Milk Drunk

I love these faces of total contentment after he eats!
p.s. can you see his faux hawk in the top two pictures?

Just another night...

It is 9:00 on Wednesday night and this has become the norm. It's pretty sweet and Jacob sure loves sleeping on his daddy. I can't help but wonder why Marc is so tired though, I am pretty sure that I am the one getting up during the night to feed Jacob :)

Jacob's First Playdate

Today Jacob had his first playdate. Our friend Emily came over with her little girl Sydney. Sydney is about 2 weeks older than Jacob. They spent most of their play time eating and sleeping but we did manage to get them both awake and happy long enough for a few pictures. The playdate went so well that Emily and I are already planning more fun adventures while our husbands are at work.
Funny story about Emily and Sydney: At the end of July I was at a doctor appointment and had been waiting FOREVER for the doctor. The nurse kept popping in saying the doctor ran to the hospital to check on someone and would be back any mintue. When the doctor finally got back she said she was so sorry but it turned into a delivery. Then she smiled at me and said that it might be someone I know. It turned out it was Emily giving birth to Sydney. The doctor remembered that we knew each other. I really couldn't be annoyed after finding out that it was Emily we were waiting on :)

Time to play

Jacob seemed to enjoy "playing" on the floor today. He spent some time on his back and then needed some "tummy time". He wasn't intersted in his toys but was content to just lay there and look all around.

Check out my new kicks!

On Friday Jacob and I went out for the day and when we came home there was a cute gift in the mailbox. No name, no clue as to who it was from but inside was a pair of super cute shoes. I found out today that they were from our friend Chad. Of course I had to put them on him for our outing to the mall today. Pretty cute!!

What is Marc doing?????

Well here are some pictures of Marc figuring out how the ergo carrier fits with the infant insert. He really liked the sun/weather protector as you can see. I don't think I really need to say much more. Oh, and Jacob was NOT in the carrier at this time, Marc was just trying it on.

Grilling with Dad

Last night Marc grilled some steak and didn't want to put Jacob down (I think he missed him all day at work) so he took him outside to "help". Jacob liked it when Marc opened the grill to check on the meat and all the warm air came out. I am sure this is the first of many father/son grill times.

New Bouncy Seat

Thanks to Jacob's great Aunt Joanie and great Uncle Dave (Susannah's aunt and uncle in Maryland) for sending him this great bouncy seat. He will actually sit in it for a while (15 minutes tops). So far it is the only one he has tolerated. He always looks a bit sceptical when his eyes are open, guess he isn't too sure about the outside world.

Swinging and Eyes Open

This past Friday the 3rd was Jacob's original due date but because he was born early he turned 3 weeks old instead! He is staying awake for longer periods of time now and it is fun to see him with his eyes open. We have been trying out the swing and he likes it for about 5 minutes then wants out.
