Finnaly i'm back on line and after reading all of my friends blogs realized that i haven't written much about our little guy in a while.
So an update on jake.
*He has learned to get where he wants to go, over christmas in michigan he learned to roll roll roll to get where ever he wanted to go, and of course is also trying to crawl, and usually after being on all fours and rocking back and forth for a little while he'll drop to his elbows and army crawl/push his but up in the air and worm his way around.
*He understandably hates his car seat and will arch as strongly as he can to prevent getting buckeled in. Too many 12 hour drives back and forth to mississippi might be to blame.
*Jake is very tickelish and loves to giggle when ever you come near him with tickeling fingers.
*He is babbleing more and his favorite thing to say is Ra Ra RAAAAA.
*I'm afraid with our moving back and forth he's not the best sleeper and can put up quite a fight when he thinks he's not ready. Our pediatrition suggested keeping him up until 9 and getting him really tired to aleviate this. I think our little guy just doesn't want ot miss the party. We're currently trying everything we can to not loose our minds with all of the night wakings but will hope to update and throw a party for that matter when sleep returns to our house. Knowing that we might just have to wait till michigan for this to happen. Since the move back and forth might be throwing him off - new room and crib and all.
*He's eating 2 solid meals a day and so far he's likeing most of it but isn't always sure that he wants to eat when we'd like him to, he's great at sealing that little mouth shut.
*With his new sence of freedom of movement he can easily get frustrated when he bangs his head on something because he can't crawl under the TV stand to get a box, or crawl out of his crib. He doesn't seem to be sure why his head hurts after he bangs it and will go right back to it when put back down.
*We love him very much and can't wait until we know more about what is going on inside that little head of his. His mood swings from happy to sad to happy are mesmerizing and baffeling to this stay at home mom.

I always forget to leave a comment when I've looked at/read the stuff you post. Sorry about that. Love the notes...it makes me feel like I'm there with you when Jakes trying to crawl, etc. Can't wait till your Michiganders again and we can ensure that Baby Jake learns his rightful Midwestern slang and doesn't pick up a Southern drawl (hehehe).
Ok your comment about Jake banging his head and then going right back to the same spot again..really gave me a giggle!!Ahh babies...can't help but laugh at their little ways!
