The loveliness of teething

NOT!
Jake was up at 1230 last night, and didn't go back to bed until after 3am. After spending two hours in my bed without him falling asleep, I gave up, and we came downstairs to watch Glee. Jake played, had a snack, had a bottle, then I was able to put him back into his crib to sleep. Luckily he slept until 830am.
Jake is teething his two year molars. He has all the lovely symptoms, he's drooling excessively, he has a couch, a clear runny nose, a diaper rash, poor little guy!

Jake watching some tv in the morning, he was still a little sleepy I think.
After our walk, I let Jake toddle around. He did NOT want to look at the camera!
I only got this picture because he had to turn around. He was hiding from the rain here.
Jake has been dumping his sippy cup on the floor lately. I finally just got a water bottle with a straw, he actually drank half of it today, and wasn't able to get any on the floor. Win-Win.
His belly is full from supper! Hanging out with uncle Andrew.
This is Jake half an hour before bedtime. After I cleaned up his toys..the first time.
And, oh, of course, he had to get the mega blocks out too.

Rainy Day

It was a rainy day today. I couldn't post last night, the internet was just so slow. Jake has been good the last couple days, he's so funny. He's very happy playing with his toys in the living room, and every so often, darts to an "off-limits" area. His new favorite thing is the dump his water on the floor, then ask for a paper towel, and clean it up. He's totally fooled me, he actually loves cleaning up his own messes. Sneaky little kid!


Yogurt mustache after supper.
Watching Friends
Playing with his toys.
He loves to take the stuffing out of his teddy bear, it's a game for him.
He got his first outfit of the day wet with his water, so I changed him. Then he walked around for at least 20 minutes with his thumbs in his pants. It was so funny.

Playful week-end!

We had a fun week-end. I am tired though, it's taking forever to blog these days since the internet is so darn slow!
Here are some pictures.

Sleepy Baby

It was a rainy day today, we spent the morning in our pajamas and played. Then I went to the gym, and Jake went to daycare for the afternoon.I love the cheeks on this picture! I was trying to get him building, but as soon as I grabbed the camera, he looked up. "I'm busy mama!"
Here he is in action.
We had an early lunch before leaving for daycare, and Jake fell asleep!!!
I moved him to the couch while I cleaned up. (Don't worry mom, I put the cushions on the floor.)
Then, he also fell asleep on the way home after daycare, and slept for about half an hour on the floor.

A Day at Home

Today was our quiet day of the week. We didn't have any activities, it was a little rainy and windy, we didn't spend much time outside, but had fun playing with toys inside. Jake can be so funny sometimes.Jake like to take the paper off the water bottle. It was actually iced tea, Jake kept bugging me for a sip, so I gave him a small one thinking he wouldn't like it. He actually really liked it and kept asking for more. LOL.
Playing with his mega blocks. They are one of his favorite toys.
Lately, Jake has been emptying out his crib during nap time, so I brought to camera up when I went to get him today. He even took his pants off today!
Cuddling with the blanket Grandma Arleen made him!
I love his Monkey Butt. He'll outgrow these pants soon, so I reserve the right to take a picture every time he wears them.
This window faces the entry way/drive way. Whenever someone is there, Jake knocks to get their attention, but his little knock doesn't make any sound. It's pretty cute anyways.

Playgroup!

Today was playgroup.
Jake was a bit of a menace. Normally, I can sit and chat with the other moms and just keep an eye on him.
Today, he was constantly grabbing at other kids faces. Or trying to grab a little girl's soother. Silly Boy. My mom says he won't be making friends that way.
He had a nap this afternoon, under protest, but he did end up sleeping. Then we did a few chores together, he likes to "help". You know, like unfold laundry.
I went to the gym with Andrew during supper, he had a good time with his grandma and grandpa.
He sure knows his schedule. He normally goes to bed at 7pm. I was hungry, so I decided to let him stay up a little so I could eat before, I warmed up my supper, and Jake was sure it was his "bubba" (bottle). It was cute, he climbed onto Grandma to wait, and was like "what?" when there was no bottle.
I only got a couple of pictures today of him sitting down waiting for me to put his outside clothes on before leaving for playgroup!

Yawn!

Jake woke up at 2am last night, no idea why, and didn't fall back asleep until 4am. It truly astonishes me that a toddler and his teddy bear can take up just about all the room in a double bed and I'm stuck horizontally at the bottom of the bed with little space. LOL.
Anyways, Jake went to daycare this morning, he had a good morning, they go to the gym on Monday's. Since I work out at the gym, I did spend a couple minutes spying on him, he was so cute just toddling along on his own and playing. His teacher finds him very independent

I picked up Jake a little early, and he was still awake (he often falls asleep in the highchair after lunch). I put him in the car, and then sang VERY LOUDLY every song I could think of, multiple times. It worked! Jake did not fall asleep in the car.

After his nap, we watched a little bit of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The squekquel. We had to go pick up my mom from work, and Jake needed his 18 month shots. He did pretty well, he fell asleep in the car, and slept on the couch for another half and hour before I woke him up. Then he was really, really cranky. I think his arm was sore, I gave him some advil before bed, hopefully he'll sleep through the night.
