Waterbury Reservoir

Last weekend we took Jakob to the Waterbury Reservoir with the Gilmans and our new neighbors Scott, Megan, and their 8.5 month old Eli.  We had a fantastic time playing in the shade, swimming in the warm water, and running around.

Follow me to the water, Eli!
Time for a dip with Daddy
It's nice and shallow here
These little ropes can't contain me
Graham and I are sharing my buckets
Swimming is the best
I'm getting a little chilly, so maybe we should take a little break
This is warmer
A nice little girl nearby let me play with her inner tube
Oh my gosh, the middle is missing
So you see, Eli, you get in the middle where the hole is.  Trust me, I've got it all figured out.
Just add water

First Poop on the Potty!

I apologize that this whole post will qualify as TMI (and sorry, future Jakob, for the embarrassment it'll inevitably cause), but this is a big day in our house.  After I left for work today, Jakob went poop in his potty for the first time!  Dan noticed him straining and asked if he wanted to sit on the potty.  For the first time, Jakob said "uh huh," let Dan undress him, and sat on his potty until he was "all done."  He tried to flush it down about 10 times and was rather confused that it stayed in place, as opposed to what he sees the normal potty do, but he was VERY proud of himself nevertheless.  He said "Jakey did it" the whole way to daycare, and he even tried to go again when we got home.   We certainly don't expect this to be the new normal in our house, but we're very excited and proud of the little guy anyway.  Way to go Jakob on this big (although little, as you can see in the picture) milestone! A tiny deposit, but a big dea...

Playtime!

Jakob is loving his bouncer!  He's hilarious to watch when he's in it, because he gets such a serious look on his face when he's playing, and he refuses to straighten out his legs and instead just dangles in the seat. Tomorrow we've got his four month doctor's appointment.  I'm certain they're going to say he's healthy and doing a great job growing and developing, but like last time, I'm so nervous for his shots.  Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't have any adverse reactions! Having all this fun is serious business Mom, please don't bother me.  Can't you see I've got playing to do?! So intriguing! Reading with Daddy is fun too. This Doctor Seuss guy is a wacko, but I like his style!
