Our lil screamer...

What Jacob has learned to perfect over the past few days:

1. Screaming is his favorite thing to do now. He's not doing it because he's agitated or angry, but because he wants to.

2. Sitting up straight on his own for a few seconds and using his arms to hold himself up in a slanted position. (His OT will be happy to hear that he's using his arms to keep him from falling.)

3. Rolling over from his tummy to his back. Typically, babies would roll over from their tummy to their back before rolling from their back to their tummy, but Jacob just decided to do things backwards...it's so him.

4. Pivoting while on his tummy without the spinner! We arrange his toys in an arc and he tries to grab them and pivots himself in circles attempting to get them. He just needs to learn how to move FORWARD to actually grab them instead of scooting backwards. =)

5. Having patience for mommy to finish the "Indian" massage on his legs first thing in the morning, especially with that grape seed oil. (We have two more appts. with the message therapist. She'll be teaching me how to massage other parts of his body, including tummy, back, arms, face, etc. Pretty cool huh? I tried the baby yoga once with him, but he was too stiff. Perhaps knowing how to massage the other parts of his body will loosen him up. We'll see...)

6. Getting mommy 'wrapped around his pretty little finger again' ...and again.... and again.

7. Grabbing the feeding spoon and getting rice cereal all over his swing. (We don't put him in the bumbo for feeding yet bc he hasn't learned how to sit upright by himself. His developmental teacher suggested something with back support. In the meantime, we're just using his swing bc it sits in a reclining position. We'll get him a high chair later when he gets better at eating solids.)

8. Making bubbles with the nipple in his mouth during bottle feeding time.

9. Pulling my hair. Ouch!

10. Laughing at all our silly faces and awkward noises!!

Grandma Horn visited for two days to help watch Jacob while I was at school (my schedule is crazy) and brought along with her, a present for Jacob. She got him the Cars bedding set, but bc he already has his nautica themed set in his nursery, we decided to put it in his playard. A little tucking here and there and wahlah, it's perfect! Thanks Grandma.

Grandma Sorensen will be visiting us for an entire week in June! HOORAY! We are so excited and can't wait. Painting Jacob's room will be so much fun!

One last thing before going to bed...I'm really excited about an upcoming project for Dameron's NICU. I can't reveal it yet bc it's not set in stone. Then, why bring it up right? Well, I'm just too excited and wanted to write it on the blog because it's very special to our family...
