Jake is going to get fired from the farm.

And I'm glad.
I joked with my aunt on Facebook that Jake was a perfect farmer since he was up at 430am and in bed by 7pm.
It's going to end, I am determined. Jake woke up at 445am, but I didn't go get him, and eventually fell asleep again and got up at 7am. It was awesome!
We stayed at home today. It was a beautiful day outside. We went out twice.
Jake was a funny boy, he hasn't been eating breakfast lately. He throws it on the floor. He also fell asleep as I was making his lunch. So he spent his day snacking. We did have one of his favorites for supper..chicken nuggets and fries. Jake thinks that's yummy!

20 months!!!!

Jake is born on the 30th of June, so I just decided that today he was 20 months. I can't believe my baby is out of his teen months. (I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy.)

Jake is learning new things everyday. Unfortunately, lately they all seem to be getting him into trouble. His new favorite is standing on the glass coffee table, though I almost always get him before he gets that far.
He loves to sit on his grandpa's lap when he's on the computer.
If the tv is on, it must be off. If it's off, it must be on. Typical toddler.
He's starting to drink milk out of his sippy, but still hasn't given up is bottle before bed.
He still goes to bed really easily, but has gotten up around 430am most of the month. Yuck!
Jake loves to play with his mega block bin. He also loves his train. He likes to break it apart, unfortunately he can't put it back together. It's a game. (Andrew hates that toy.)
Jake absolutely loves is Teddy Bear. It's adorable.


Wearing a new Sesame Street outfit.
I was trying to take a picture of him trying to open the door..since he can't anymore! See the handle? We (aka, my dad) changed them so they are vertical instead of horizontal.

Goofing off with Uncle Andrew.


And in honor of Jake's 20 monthday. Here are his pictures from last year. He was 8 months old! I love these pictures!

Playdate!

We went to the clinic this morning to get some eye drops. The eye infection has been going around, he wasn't the only one. We skipped daycare for today to give it a chance to clear up. After four doses of drops, his eyes look much better already.
I babysat Noah this afternoon. It was cute to watch them play. It's the first time Jake has a friend over, so he's not used to sharing his toys.
I was a little nervous about having two toddlers for the afternoon, but it went really well. Especially since Jake took a two hour nap.
The boys hanging out on the chair. It's surprising Noah still has his soother since Jake likes to yank it out of his mouth!!!

Jake sat on his granpa and started bouncing on his stomach. He's a really silly kid sometimes!

Slept in! Yay!

Hi!
We had a pretty good week-end, despite Jake having a bit of an eye infection. (We'll get it checked out tomorrow.)
He slept in Saturday until 8am. Today, he woke up at 4:40am, but I was so comfy in bed, I decided to give it 2o minutes, and he settled back down after 10 minutes and slept until 8am again. Yes! That makes me very happy.
Saturday night, Andrew babysat and we went to a party for wings and poutine.
Today, Jake was cranky because of his eye, so during his nap, my mom and I did the groceries, and my dad got Jake up.
He's a happy boy, but then when he sees me, he just melts down at times. He also doesn't like to be told no, especially from dad.
He was practically begging to go to bed tonight, he even put his head down on the coffee table, it was funny.

Helping his grandpa with after supper chores.

I can't think of a good title.
Jake was up early again. 4:57am.
We came downstairs to watch Finding Nemo and eat raisins since I refuse to serve breakfast before 6am.
Actually, it was a breakfast sort of day, since Jake had a waffle in the morning, oatmeal for lunch, and toast for supper after throwing his other meal on the floor.
He was cranky pants tonight again. Absolute meltdowns. I'm not sure I like this part of toddlerhood.
Jake being silly.
I turned on a light that we never use to get a better picture, and Jake was interested by it.
Opening the bathroom door. Uh oh! I'm in for it now.

All in all, I finish my day watching Friday Night Lights and drinking wine. It's a good evening.
Happy Friday!

A thorn in his butt!

(Title provided by my mom)
Jake was up early this morning (530am) and he didn't nap much at all.
When I went to pick him up at daycare, he was hysterically sobbing. It was so sad. I guess another mom came to pick up her kid, and Jake just lost it. Luckily, I came to pick about five minutes later. He just would not settle down for me either.
He did eventually fall asleep in the car, only to be woken up at home and start crying again!
I couldn't settle him down, but I got his Teddy Bear, and he just stopped crying, cuddled right into his bear and kissed him and gave him hugs. It was really adorable.
It was supper, bath, then bed tonight! He went down really easily at about 650pm.

Here are some pictures with him playing with his mega blocks (he had some funny curls going on, then I gave him a mohawk in the bath)

Playing outside!

It was playgroup day!
I can't drive for a month for insurance purposes, so we ended up being there about a half hour early since my dad dropped us off before going to work. We went to a little park to play.
Jake had a lot of fun. He loved the slide the best. But didn't want to go through the trouble of climbing up, it's much faster when mommy just lifts you!
Playgroup was a lot of fun, there were less kids today, but Jake was playing really well with others. He was a little pig! He ate four croissants, this child sure loves chocolate! He also climbed on everything possible.
This afternoon, we went for a walk after his nap. Then he spent a lot of time playing with his Uncle Andrew! He sure loves running around the house.
