Busy Family

We have had so much going on around here! In the weeks since Jake's birthday we have had two baby showers (one that I helped throw), two birthday parties, and one rugby game, in addition to our normally full weekends. It has just been crazy.

Jake has been doing so much new stuff lately! He is walking everywhere, talking all the time (well except when we want him to), and attempting to break some world record for the amount a toddler eats. He will now finish an entire pb&j sandwhich, half a chicken breast, an entire banana, and an unhealthy amount of jello and yogurt. He also has decided to prove to the world that he is indeed my son and love ketchup, as in, he sees it on my plate and asks for it, eats it by itself, then asks for more so I put it on his food which he eats up quickly and asks for more ketchup. He also tries to be much more independent most of the time. When he is done being held he says down please, if we try to redirect him when he is walking to something he wants he will turn right around and try to pull you where he wants to go, and when he is done with something he says all done and means he is done.

And our child is finally sleeping through the night again! It has been over a week since he woke up in the middle of the night and it has been great! In a few weeks we are going to start working on getting rid of the paci, hopefully that doesn't interrupt his new sleeping habits.

It is so amazing to see how much he is growing and learning. He is so stinking cute and fun!
