Harry Potter Tonight!!

I can't wait.
This post has nothing to do with Jake. I don't even have pictures of him, we got up, he went to daycare, we came home, he had a bottle, and he's still napping.

He is saying a new word pretty consistently, he says UP! when he wants us to pick him up or if he wants up on the couch. It's cute.

Oh, and when he says no, he shakes his finger too. It's adorable!

That's it for today!! I'm beyond excited. I'll post extra pictures tomorrow, I promise! :)

Happy American Thanksgiving!

Happy American Turkey Day!

We didn't go outside today, it's was too drizzly and cold. Instead, Jake and I played inside. He likes to tear everything apart, then play. He's been playing with his mega block farm he got for his birthday all day long. He likes to bring it to the couch and play with it from there. It's pretty cute.

We went to a party tonight at my parent's friend's house. There were a few birthdays this week, we had some yummy food and ice cream cake. Jake love the cake! He did really well, especially considering we were leaving when it's normally his bedtime.

Oh, and can I just say, I'm going to see Harry Potter tomorrow night and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Wednesday Shopping

Today was shopping day! In the morning, I braved the German streets without a GPS and only directions from my dad. Turns out, they were good directions and I didn't get lost once...just a slight detour, but I knew where I was the entire time, so that doesn't count as lost. Oh, we went to a German grocery store to pick up some ice cream for Andrew. He got his wisdom teeth out and is eating a lot of ice cream.

This afternoon, we went to the American Base to go grocery shopping with my dad. Jake is so good at the grocery store, he sits, looks around, and is a complete angel. A lady working at the store gave him a banana, which he proceeded to devour.

We stopped by Burger King on the way home. Jake ate almost an entire kids meal. He had all four chicken nuggets and about a 1/3 of his fries. I'm scared to think how much he'll eat when he's 5 if he's eating this much at 17 months!!

And like everyday...just kidding. The internet is being a pain tonight. I'll try uploading the pictures again later.

Tomorrow morning, the internet is finally working better!

Catnapping

Catnaps drive me bananas! Incidentally, we had whole wheat banana pancakes for breakfast and they were a big hit!

I had a dentist appointment at 1pm, right at the beginning of Jake's nap. Of course, he fell asleep in the car, but only for the last five minutes. He woke up the second I opened the door of the car, and didn't fall back asleep in his stroller.

Unfortunately, the dentist appointment was canceled. By the time we made it back home, it was too late to put him down for a nap. I swear, if this kid falls asleep for 5 minutes in the car, it's over. He's ready to go!

On the plus side, he went to bed a little early.

We got the boxes I packed before leaving. Now Jake has a whole bunch more toys, he was glad to see them. Especially a little keyboard which is a little too interactive for my taste...and might "get loss" soon.

Here are a few pictures of him on his truck.

Peek-a-boo!

We had a pretty good day. It was low-key for me.
Jake had daycare this morning. I go to the gym while he's in daycare, I'm getting better at driving, I actually came home after my workout today to shower and relax instead of reading in the car or change room!

Jake is doing great at daycare, he plays really well with the other kids. Today, he played with a ball.

He had a three hour nap when we got home, we played, had supper, then he played with his grandpa, bath, bottle, then bed.

Now, I'm getting ready to watch Big Bang Theory with my dad, he's still on season 3!

Here are today's pictures,

Helping mommy clean!

Today was our last day alone. I can't say I'm too sad, it's nice to have company again.

I kept Jake up until 8pm so he could see everyone before going to bed. He better not get used to it!

We cleaned the living room and kitchen today. Well, I cleaned, but Jake "helped". Since my parents have glass coffee tables, you can bet they are constantly covered in little finger prints. I used the windex wipes and they work great!

My mom also bought a Swiffer Vaccum, it's a great buy. We use it all the time, especially after Jake has eaten a meal.

That's all I got for today.
