As I was going through several pictures on my iPhone today, I realized there were lots of things that may have not made it to my blog. Since I'm using this as a family journal, I have some updates to do. So, in no particular order:
Steve took Jake to Cabelas for his first time several months ago. It's a fun place for them to go on Fridays, since Steve has it off (4 10's) and I have to work :-( Jake loves looking at the fish. Steve loves trying random hats on him.
Jake started trying different baby foods when he turned 6 months old. Now that he is almost 11 months old he is eating just about everything we try to feed him. He seems to have a great appetite and likes all kinds of foods. He is especially loving pears, peaches, rice (seasoned, not rice-cereal), noodles, mac&cheese, bread, gerber graduate yogurt melts. A week ago, we tried vegetables again since we did those first he never really liked them. Well, green beans didn't go so well. But, he ate all of his peas!
Jake LOVES looking out the window! I think he really likes being outside too, it is just not as easy to get out all the time. He would sit and look out the window for quite a while though. Such a cutie!
Jake's hair is getting really long. I can't quite decide to make that appt for his first haircut though. When he gets out of the bath his curls are SO cute! But, after it is dry and he has rubbed it on his carseat, boppy or a blanket, it tends to get all frizzy. Here's Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ben's attempt at doing his hair 2 different days in the recent past, LOL!
Jake is getting close to moving from bottles to sippies. He has tried sippies on a few occasions, but doesn't really do them yet. However, recently he has started holding his bottles on his own! There are times when I still want to feed him or we use the bottle to prop...but he can do it when he wants too!
I don't think I've ever posted his cute Valentine's Day picture :) His onesie says "Heart Breaker".
One night after he ate, I gave him the wet-wipe I had cleaned his hands and face with. You would have thought I gave him the world! He was SO happy and played with the wet-wipe for several minutes. It's the simple things in life, right?!
The past few weeks Jake has LOVED Barney (much to his Daddy's dismay, LOL). He seriously can't get enough of it. We have tried other shows and he has no attention span, but if we turn on Barney (especially the Captain Pickles episode currently OnDemand), he will relax and just watch. It allows me to get ready for work in the morning and helps at those times when I just need to get dishes or housework done! The other night I looked down and saw him sucking his thumb. This was the first time I noticed it. He doesn't do it too often, but I thought it was cute when he did.
And just some other random pictures over the past little while. Sure love this boy!
