Busy Weekend!

Well, we have had quite the exciting weekend around here. On Friday, we started with a visit to the doctor to see about Jake's frequent spitting up. We found out he's up to 14 lbs which is nearly the 48th percentile! He's getting heavier:) We are trying some new formula for the spit up and so far things are a little better. After our appointment, we went to the zoo with Aunt Tammy, Tillie, Aunt Michelle, Izaiah, Sistene, and Jake's birth-family! He was really excited to see them again and just kept smiling and trying to talk to them. He also really loved seeing Tillie, Izaiah, & Sistene. Jake just loves being where the action is.

Jakob was able to have rice cereal for the first time on Saturday and was quite a mess! He didn't know what to think at first, but was really catching on towards the end! Saturday evening Granny & Rick came up for a visit so that Jason & I could go see a movie. Our anniversary was last weekend, but since it was a military weekend we didn't really do anything fun. We of course waited until the 9:20 movie so that we wouldn't miss too much of Jake's day since he usually falls asleep between 9:30 and 10:00.

Sunday has just been a lazy day, but Jake still didn't want to go to sleep...not with visitors:) After everyone left, we went to run some errands and when we came home he was able to try more cereal, but this time in his high chair. He did even better today than yesterday and finished all of the cereal I made for him!! Tomorrow night Daddy is on his own with the cereal, we'll see how that goes and what kind of mess is left for Mommy when I get home!! Enjoy the pictures and I'll update again soon.

4th of July

Jakob survived his first 4th of July and seemed to really like it. We had a really busy weekend starting on Thursday when we had Adoption Day when everything for the adoption was finalized. Everything went smoothly and Jakob made sure his voice was heard once we got there! He was eating when we went into the court room, but was too busy checking everything out to continue so we stopped feeding him and just let him look around. He had only had a couple of ounces, so I wasn't trying to burp him but as soon as the court recorder pressed the record button he let out a big burp!! Everyone started laughing and the judge said that Jake just wanted everyone to know that he was there too! It was very cute!

After that we went down to Brazil on Friday to get ready for Tillie's birthday party & the 4th! Unfortunately it rained so much on Saturday that fireworks were postponed until Sunday and so was Tillie's party. We were able to spend lots of time with Jason's family and Jake really liked talking to Aunt Leah the most! By the time Sunday rolled around everyone was sleepy, Jake took a 2 1/2 hour nap to prepare himself for the festivities, but missed out on Tillie enjoying her 1st cupcake. She was very cute, almost falling asleep but still getting her hands (and hair and face) messy. Finally it was time for fireworks, and Jake loved them. I kept my hands over his ears so that they weren't too loud but he kept pulling away so that he could look at them. He did finally fall asleep while the fireworks were going off, but while he was awake had a really good time. We are still catching up from the big weekend and are preparing to do it all over again this weekend as Jason has drill and we are heading back to Brazil, but hopefully things won't be as crazy and we can relax a little more!! ;)
