Ah-mazing!

Jacob has been napping so well today that I was able to do three loads of laundry!! It is ah-mazing!!!! He needed it bc he didn't sleep so well last night due to gas pains from eating green peas...maybe not used to the fiber??? Despite the gas pains, peas are probably his favorite solids right now. He willingly opens his mouth for it each time I feed him. I guess that's a good thing right? Next, he'll have carrots and off to fruits!

So what is up with Jacob?

-grabbing his toes! (one of his goals)
-doing well with solids (cereal, oatmeal, squash, sweet potatoes, peas)
-sitting on his own for 1-2 minutes (still wobbly though, but lots of improvements)
-rolling back and forth
-'purposefully' crying, reaching, and grabbing for toys
-babbling two syllables
-scooting backwards, left, and right (not forward yet)
-recognizing bottle (will open mouth and try to grab the bottle...also another one of his goals)
-laughing uncontrollably to these weird sounds, 'wah-sha' and 'pooh-sheuw'


His teacher did a quick informal assessment yesterday on Jacob. In May, he will have a formal assessment for everything, i.e. speech, cognitive, social, language, etc. Anyway, she said that he is about 6 mths for language and cognitive skills. That's pretty good. She thinks he is doing very well and will catch up to his peers soon, if he continues to make improvements like he has been for the last two weeks. =)
