Beep Beep!

Jacob got a ride on car yesterday. Mom and Dad spent an hour putting it together (not looking forward to more assembly at Christmas) He got up this morning and spent lots of time in it. He drives backwards quite well, but we will need to work on the forward pedaling.

Chillin' Out

Finally!! He started wearing a hat!

Chunky Monkey

Jacob went for his 18 month check-up yesterday. He didn't like the nurses assistants in Salt Lake and he doesn't like the ones here either. Lots of screaming and not wanting to go on the scale or be measured laying down. I think he remembers they are the ones who give him the shots! He's grown a little but the big news he is 21 pounds 14 oz, on July 9th he was 19 pounds 14 oz. 2 pounds in a month in a half is awesome, the doctor was very impressed. For the first time I had a doctor tell me Jacob was thriving.

Saturday in San Fran

Picky Picky Eater!

Mealtime for Jacob is getting to be quite a challenge. One day he eats everything I put in front of him, the next it's nothing but bananas. Mommy's banana oatmeal is a hit most of the time for breakfast but sometimes it's dry puff cereal or waffles or whole bananas or just milk. Jacob still doesn't like chunky food and new foods aren't received very well. This behavior is foreign to me and his Yaya since all Lavrakas' eat whatever is in front of them. Sooo..the solution is having many options available and try sneaking in as many veggies as possible! Jacob is also teething like crazy, he up to 8 teeth and 2 molars are working their way through. Poor guy!

All Park All the Time

Jacob is crazy about the park and it's been great to see him build confidence with new things..like the swings and also master this thing called walking. He's social with other kids sometimes but most of the time he just likes to play with his mom and hang out in the sand. He's adding new words to his vocab such as train which is sometimes choo-choo, keys, car, cookie, juice, shoe, and adding more daily. He can point to and name some parts of his body, eyes, ears, mouth and belly button. He kisses his dad goodbye in the morning and when Dad gets home he tells him all about his day.
