Well, we warned you from the beginning that there were no promises as to how often we would update the blog, but we do really need to do better. Here's what's been happening the last month and a half...
Yum...
Jacob had his first official meltdown about a month ago. We were sitting down to eat dinner and he dicided that sitting on Mom's lap and trying to keep her from getting any food in her mouth just wasn't good enough. He wanted the food in his mouth. Long story short, we weren't able to finish dinner until after he had gone to bed. The next day he got his wish and quickly finished off a bit of rice cereal and then he let us eat dinner in relative peace. Since then, he's had a bit of baby food at dinner most nights. His favorites so far: squash, pears, green beans, and prunes. Thankfully, he hasn't really disliked anything except carrot and avacado. At least he'll eat some vegetables. That's more than we can say for Dad : )
Mmm...prunes
He had about a tablespoon of carrots before deciding to spit the rest out and clamp his mouth shut. To be perfectly honest, we don't mind not having the bright orange stains to get out of his clothes.Just Playing
Apart from other things, Jacob loves to play in his exersaucer and on his playmat. Mom loves the exersaucer because she can finally do some dishes or ...dare we say it...cook dinner while Jacob stays entertained. It's great!
"Hi Mom!"
"I was busy chewing on my toy. Did you want something?"
For some reason we can't get this picture to stay rotated, but we had to post this picture. Jacob is a pretty smiley baby (yay!) and this is definitely one of our favorite pictures of his smile so far.
By the by...were having issues with the font size...guess you wont need glasses to read this one. :)
