A Little Friend for Big Lola: Mr Adventurer

Since getting back west, Jake has been on the move. He started a new daycare and goes two afternoons a week. He gets sad leaving mommy, almost as sad as mommy gets leaving him. On his first day he got very upset and a little blonde girl brought him a bottle filled with purple sparkles and a clear block with a cocoon inside. Little guy has a way with the ladies. Each day time he gets a little more social with his friends. We have been trying to get out as much as possible so that Jake can get better being in his car seat and out in public. Lola has also been going along on the rides. She likes to sniff out the back window and Jake likes to watch her, which keeps him from screaming as soon as he sees his car seat. win win.

The other day Daddy had off from work so we celebrated by taking Jake to the aquarium. He slept the ride up and sang along to sing along songs the entire way back. (You don't know a long night until you have tried to fall asleep with the sound of polly wally doodle playing through your head all. night. long.) Jake had a lot of fun at the aquarium. He got to see the tidal wave pool. Daddy took him to touch the star fish and sea urchins and let him splash the cold water. He especially liked watching the seals and sea lions.

We are trying to get Jake to eat more big people food. Its a process. Its not always productive. Yesterday though, daddy got Jake to eat some banana yogurt and he LOVED dipping the spoon and smearing it on his face.

This might have been the first time Lola went inside her house instead of sitting on top of it.

"Hey Lola, want some breakfast?"

I finally figured out how to get my pictures off my phone and onto my computer. However, now I can not find the button on the website to upload videos. Jake loves to dance and sing to songs and we have quite a few videos that hopefully at some point will be posted. There are now 3 cameras along with my phone that have to be sorted to get pictures from to post, so I keep finding some good ones, but they are a little out of sequence.
