Sunny Days

After over 45 days of rain, the sun came out for a day !!!! When the sun is out it gets quite toasty, but there is always a wind blowing around town and no matter what direction we are walking the wind is always blowing head on, which makes dressing for the occasion a bit of a challenge. Jake loves the breeze and fusses if the canopy on the stroller is pulled too far down. Lola likes to sniff the wind too.

Daddy had been business tripping for a bit, and Lola did a great job of keeping the house in order. When my brothers and I were younger and The Gip would go away my mother would have us sleep in sweat pants to wear to school the next day and then we could come home for lunch. I am happy to say that this is a routine that can be practiced throughout the ages. It was modified to lots of yoga pants, cereal for dinner and walking trips to the coffee shop for lunch. Jake is still on a liquid diet and wearing footies so his fashion regime wasn't affected all too much. To be honest, neither was mine, but at least I could say it was for a reason.

Jake got weighed earlier this week on our scale at home and he was tipping the scale at 13 lbs. He is huge. He is getting some pudgy cheeks and a melon head just in time for summer. Crawling has not progressed much which I think is because the little guy is starting to teeth. Now when he does tummy time he tries to crawl for a moment, then starts to drool, and finally gives up and chews on his hands. He is also taking naps in his swing and pack n play which means I can start getting things done around the house and still have lots of snuggle time with the little guy.

"When is it going to be my turn ?"


Lola's chair is a comfy chair


Lola likes to cheer Jake on when he is trying to crawl


Lola tries to stay on her bed to give Jake room to maneuver


But sometimes the excitement is just too much for her to handle


Hands are delicious


So happy tummy time is over


Because the weather is getting warmer we had to get rid of Jakes fleece sack because he was sweating so much on our walks. He is now big enough to use the stroller harness which makes kicking his feet around and stretching much easier.
