Spaghetti Anyone?

I'm posting some pictures today of Jake's adventures at home. We have fallen into a great routine of eating, napping, playing (which consists of Jake crawling/trying to walk around the downstairs while destroying the house!), going for walks, and eating much more...Jake is napping now which is why I can take a few minutes to blog. He is my constant joy! In the first picture you can see him in his crib...I love this new expression of his. He will crinkle up his nose and squint his eyes when he's laughing...its priceless!


Here he is "helping" Ty install the baby gate at the top of the stairs. We had trouble finding one to fit our banister, but Ty bought one at Babies R Us this weekend that worked. Its wonderful to have so I don't have to worry about Jake upstairs as much anymore.




I forgot to add in last week's entry that Jake had gained two pounds since his surgery. He weighed in at 19 lbs. at Dr. Grenier's office last Tuesday. He had dropped down to 17 lbs. after surgery but is gaining quickly. He really loves to eat and even cries if you don't give it to him fast enough. I keep telling him patience is a virtue but that doesn't seem to help :) Last night we let him feed himself spaghetti for the first time. Ty and I laughed until we were crying watching him attempt to slurp the noodles down. He had a wonderful time and loved the pasta (even if it was whole wheat). You would think he was part Italian as much as he loves lasagna, macaroni, and now spaghetti.

I can't believe how big he's getting! Looks like things are going well. Sorry that we haven't come by. We've had this respiratory bug for the last 10 days or so and are trying to stay home as much as possible. Hope that all is well with you guys!

I love that big smile, looks like someone will be having a lot more spaghetti in the future!
