Sleepy Day

It was a quiet sort of odd day today. Jake was just whiny all morning. It was nice out, so we played in the backyard, but he was having meltdown after meltdown. I finally asked him at 1130 if he wanted his bubba and he said yes.
He ended up going down for his nap at 1130am and sleeping until almost 3pm. I guess he was tired!
We went for a nice long walk this afternoon, then to the park to play. He had a blast as always, he just loves the slide. He's also been playing in the sand quite a bit too.
We didn't get back home until 530pm, but Jake was hungry and demanding food! He wanted his lasagna, despite me telling him it wasn't ready. He went to get his highchair and sat in it and there was still 5 minutes left! Talk about impatient. I tried giving him other food, but he wasn't having it. He's pretty funny.
We read some books, bath time, then he was in bed again around 715pm. Oh, it dawned on me I didn't take any pictures today, so I snapped this as he was taking his bottle before bed.

Connected again!

Our internet...and phone cut out sometime in the night on Sunday. So we were without yesterday, and I'm pleased to say we all survived. Though, we all missed it. Yes, we do realize we are addicted !
We've had a good couple of days. It's been rainy parts of days, but we either brave the rain, or we've played a lot inside.
Jake went back to daycare yesterday, I think he was thrilled. He sure was full of beans when I picked him up! The rest of the day was pretty quiet. Naptime, playtime, supertime, bathtime. Oh, he did eat chicken quesadillas for supper and loved them! (Andrew loved them too!) It was a hit.
This morning was a great morning. First, Jake slept through the night without waking up once! Yippee!! Then we went to playgroup, it was a quiet playgroup, but the kids still have fun. The first thing Jake does is go straight to the snack table to eat a croissant. It's pretty funny, and expected now. He also really got into colouring with the crayons, unfortunately, he also liked eating said crayons. He also loved the stamps, but he liked taking the tops on and off and stamping his hands...not the paper. He's just a funny kid sometimes!

Petter Rabbit

My mom bought Jake two new books last week. They are both touch and feel books, and Jake adores them. He's constantly climbing on the couch the "read" them, or he's climbing on my lap so I read them to him. It's really adorable. I love that he likes books.
We had a pretty good week-end. Yesterday, it was really nice out. We did play outside, but spent a lot of times running errands and driving Andrew around! Jake was really good in the car though, so that was a bonus.
Today, it was pretty rainy, we played with his toys all morning, then Jake took a nice long nap before we went to pick Andrew up at Snow world.
All in all, a nice quiet week-end. :)





(Don't be fooled, Andrew is reading for school. :) )

Rainy Day

Yesterday, it was a dreary rainy day. After spending the morning inside, we went outside as soon as Jake woke up from his nap. It stopped raining, but was still pretty wet, so we took a big walk and Jake explored.
I love his raincoat and boots. I just find them so adorable. He also had fun playing in puddles and splashing around.

Happy 21 months

Jake is 21 months!! Can you believe it? I sure can't.
He's really growing up, he's no longer a baby, my Jake is officially a toddler, a little boy. I think it's the haircut. LOL!

Jake is still about 24lbs.
I have no idea how tall he is, I'll have to measure him someday soon. According to his pants, he's definitely grown though!
He now goes to bed at 730am. But he's getting up at night. We're hoping to work on that this month.
Jake is napping like a champ lately, a good two hours a day. I actually have to wake him up most days.
He's still not saying any new words, but communicates very well nonetheless. He can very adamantly say "no!" when he doesn't want something, and say yes when he does want it.
Jake's favorite toys lately are a couple new books, his mega blocks, and the park!!

We went to De Balloon again. It's a great play place and Jake has a blast. We met up with Leo and his parents. He likes this slide. He slides down pretty fast.

This is the smile that Jake has most of the morning. He loves this place!



Oh, and as tradition. This is Jake about a year ago. He was baptized when he was 9 months, and just starting to get mischievous.

The Big Slide

It was playgroup today, but we got there about half an hour before it started since my dad had to go to work. We went to the little park and Jake just loves slides. He wasn't too sure about the big slide at first, he went up the stairs, then went back down the stairs a few times before he finally decided to go down the slide. After that? There was no stopping him!
Playgroup was a lot of fun. The first thing Jake does is go straight to the snack table to get a croissant. This child adores croissants! Then he runs around, follows the other kids, and plays. Though yesterday, he stuck by me a lot and was pretty cuddly.
Jake eats so much during playgroup, I don't bother trying to feed him lunch, he gets a bottle, then goes for a nap.
After naptime, he had his snack in the kitchen with me while I finished dinner, I did sneak a few m&m' s much to his delight to keep him entertained.
We went outside to play, then supper, pj's, bottle and bedtime. He's going to bed around 730pm now, and he's ready for it, he's basically asking for his bottle, then dodo.

I find this picture funny. He was clapping and running back to the stairs at the same time!

Monday

Jake was up around 7am, not too bad, but he was up a few times during the night. There's no daycare this week (it's closed for repairs), so we spent most of the day playing outside.
This morning, we went for a walk, then to the park.
Then after lunch, and Jake's nap, we went to see the horses, and play in the backyard.
