"Helping" in the kitchen

-
My baby can reach 3 times the length of his arms......... How?!?! Jeff and I were making calzones and had Jacob playing in the high chair near the table where we were working. I had previously been doing some meal plans & had a stack of cookbooks on the table. Somehow Jacob reached well beyond what we thought he could and pulled the top cookbook onto his tray. His new thing is turning pages in books so I let him keep it. A minute or two later Jeff deemed this a bad idea and saved the cookbook from Jacob's slobbery gums just before it was about to become unreadable. You can see the book on the table in this first picture with paper towels placed between some of the pages to help dry it out. After loosing his cookbook his speedy arms swiped the package of Pepperoni! I don't know why we even bother with actual toys, he's much more interested in everything else.


"I got it! Aren't you proud?"

"What? Was I not supposed to do that?"

Black Beans In My Guitar

-
It'll be my first big hit and will sound strangely similar to Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on my guitar" because I'm not creative enough to be a songwriter..... Abby (the 3 year old I babysit a few times a week) loves to sing and she has a marvelous memory. She really likes when I start singing a song she doesn't know and keeps asking me to "sing it again!" Jacob really likes whenever I get my guitar out, especially if I let him play too, and so I thought it might be fun to bring it out and sing some of the old camp songs I haven't played since my summers on staff at SLCC (because college students and adults don't usually sing "If I were a butterfly" and other such fun little ditties). I told Abby my idea and asked if she would like that. "And what can I play," she asked? "Hmmm, that's a good question. How about I make you and Jacob and Mason little shakers?" "Yeah!!!" So I cut the wrapping pape...

6 month check-up

-
Jacob's 6 month well baby check-up was yesterday, so here's the stats! Weight: 18 lbs. 11 oz - 72nd% Height: 27.5 in. - 85th% He's finally slowing down the weight gain. Jacob was consistently gaining 2-3 lbs. every month, but this last month he's stayed about the same. She even weighed him twice on 2 different scales to make sure since I said he was 19.2 when I weighed him at home at the beginning of the month. I weighed him when we got home from the appointment (me holding him minus me not holding him) and our scale scale said he's 19.6 with his clothes and diaper on. So that gives me hope that MY weight is actually slightly less too! Ha, Ha! As long as my bridesmaid dress has to be altered we might as well size it down a little more, right Paula? :) I guess I'm the cautious first time parent, because when I take Jacob to his check-ups the nurses ask questions like they assume I've already given him solid foods and such. I just thought I had to get t...
