Weekend update...

Cortizone worked for Jacob. It cleared his rash in less than 24 hours and relieved the itchiness. Thank goodness because it really bothered him! In this picture, I placed him on my bed for a nap to monitor if whether he would have some reaction to the cream. I got up to do something and I heard a few burps. I ran over to see if he had vomitted but what I saw totally shocked me. He rolled over in his sleep!!...which caused him to burp several times. AGAIN, another reason why we can't leave him alone for a second. I believe it now...babies, no matter how big or small, are really fast!

One of the many things we do with Jacob is strengthening his trunk through exercises on the therapy ball. He loves loves loves his yellow egg (ball). When he sees the ball, his eyes get wide open and he starts to make noises. He then bangs on the ball or tries to grab it, which he can't because it's round. It's really cute. Picture me at a candy or craft store...that's how Jacob looks...really excited!

I can't get over how cute these sunglasses look on him. It's soooo adorable. I know I won't be able to take pictures like these anymore once he figures out how to pull them off his face. He knows how to pull Jeremiah's glasses off, but can't quite figure out to do it when it's on him! I have to take advantage of that right now...hehe.

We've put up some new frames and pictures in Jacob's nursery. Jeremiah thinks we're done decorating his nursery, but we're not even close...I have a few more things I'd like to do in his room. I'm working on convincing Jeremiah to paint one side of the nursery an "ocean" theme with waves, corral reefs, different types of sea life, etc. He's not buying into it, so I'm going to wait for my mother-in-law to come visit to help me persuade him that it's visually stimulating for Jacob. Right mom?!?! =)

I love this onesie! I have to take a picture with this angle before he grows out of it. I think it's simply adorable!

Getting ready for his first vegetable. The bib was given to Jacob by Linda Long from our ward. It is the cutest thing ever! She cross stitched Jacob's name and a fire truck on the bib. I totally want to learn how to make this! LOVE IT!

Jacob's first time having squash. I think he liked it. I can't believe Jeremiah tricked me into trying it. I should have known better! I said I would only try it if he'd try it. He agreed to it and so after I tasted it, he said, "SIKE!" How mean is that?!? Haha...it was all fun and games, but I'm going to get him next time...maybe with green beans or something! Hah! Anyway, we always have fun introducing new foods to Jacob. He'll be eating this for 4-5 days before trying another vegetable. Come back for a video of that...=)

By the way, when we went in for the appointment for the rash, Jacob was weighed at 15 lbs. 13 oz. I'm sure he's over 16 lbs. right now. He is getting bigger!
