It was a pretty regular week-end.

I didn't blog this week-end, I took a break on Saturday and my parents needed the computer on Sunday. Our internet is just so slow that when several of us are online, it makes it so so slow.
I'm not posting pictures tonight, since my mom is trying to book some things for her trips coming up.

Jake has been good, he's just such a goof ball. But he's into everything, and it was a very trying week-end at times. His new tricks are climbing on everything and turning the television on and off. It just gets exhausting to redirect him all the time! I did put away his mat with the letters and numbers for now. He wasn't really playing on it, and just tearing it apart every chance he got. It does make clean up much faster.

My dad and brother got back from their skiing trip on Sunday night, and Jake was so excited to see them! It was really cute to see.

I'll post the pictures tomorrow during his nap.

(Penny, Ashley, Kim and Nicole, I'm thinking about you girls! I'm watching the movie Nine. "GUIDO!!" Except I'm fast forwarding and just watching the songs! I miss you guys!)

Happy TGIF!

Happy Friday!
Jake happily went to daycare today. The teachers said he played really well with the other kids today. He was even awake when we went to get him.
He had a pretty good nap, then played this afternoon. He's been playing really well in the living room lately.He loves to turn the lights on and off.
It's the first time he wears the overalls. He kept taking one of the straps off.
Watching Toy Story.
Jake took my camera, turned it on, turned it around, and then actually took a picture of himself (albeit, not a very flattering one!) I just thought it was really funny, and I think I take way too many pictures of him!

Silly boy!

I was all set to sleep train today. All prepped mentally, and ready for it. And guess what? Jake woke up at 8am!!! Silly boy.
We had a great morning. Life is so much better when you start it in daylight.
Jake insisted on bringing his blanky downstairs with his teddy bear and probably spent about an hour playing with them both. He'll climb on the couch with them, throw them on the floor, then try to get them without getting off the couch.
We went to daycare this afternoon, Jake had a lot of fun.
Then we went for a long walk, had supper, then it was off to bed!
Still climbing.
I was in the bathroom, and Jake managed to get his lunch box off the table, open it and start eating his snacks for the afternoon!! Silly boy!!

Cleaning baby!

My mom is hosting book club tonight, so Jake and I got down to business this morning to clean the downstairs. He loves to help. I even got a bucket of water with a bit of vinegar and a sponge so he could clean the floor, but that was a no go. He slipped in water and fell. :( But he had fun cleaning windows, tables and dusting.
Jake has also started to climb on everything! He was climbing in his mega block bin and on the sub woofer. He's going to give me a heart attack one of these days!
We got him some shoes from Old Navy, he managed to knock them off the table and was asking me to put them on. He's posing here. Don't you love his belly?

Play! Play! Play!

I have a chance to blog in the afternoon, Jake only napped for an hour, but was crabby waking up. He's sitting on the couch eating raisins and watching Dumbo.
We played and played this morning. Jake made a wreck out of the living room and his toys, then we took it outside. (I didn't bring my camera outside though!)
He was up early again 515am, but stayed in bed with me until 6am (thanks to my ipod, except Jake thinks it's his now. Whoops.)

Busted! With the remote control!

Playing with his firetruck.

Climbing on his new bins. (He can now get his crocks on all by himself. It's cute) Oh, and he can also climb onto the coffee table, but that is discouraged immediately.



Watching Dumbo.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jake was up bright and early! (4:23 am to be precise, luckily I was sound asleep at 830pm last night.) In two days, I'll be sleep training again, so we'll just hope that he gets it out of his system before then!
Jake went to daycare this morning and had fun on Valentine's. They decorated brownies for the parents and each got a cookie and a cupcake to bring home. I gave Jake his cupcake after his nap for a snack to give him a chance to burn off the sugar before bed, but he would NOT touch it. It was pretty funny considering he inhaled his chocolate cupcake last week. Jake ended up eating his cookie and Andrew inhaled his cupcake!
He's been pretty funny lately, just really blabbling, it's like he's having an entire conversation with you, but in toddlerese.

Funny Faces

My parents have gone away for the week-end. It was just Jake and I today. We got up early (615am) but at least it wasn't still the middle of the night.
Besides driving Andrew around, we played and played, outside and inside.
It was all in all, a good day. Jake was funny today, just did a whole bunch of little things that made me giggle.
I was having fun with the camera earlier and caught some expressions on Jake, all within the same minute.
Have to say, it was a good day. :)
