Everleigh's First Pickle

There's a deep appreciation for pickles on both sides of the family, but no one comes close to matching Grandma Hall's love of pickles...until now.  Although she was a bit confused by it at first, Everleigh quickly learned to enjoy her dill teething toy.  She was seriously angry with me when I threw it away when it fell on the floor!

It's good to be a big kid and be able to eat pickles.
E:  What is that?  I need one of those!
So just jam it in my mouth like this?
Oh my.  This is very new.
Do I like this?
I'm really not sure about it.
Better go back for more
This is unlike anything I've had before
Salty, garlicky, dilly...
...and good enough for another taste
and another
Hmm, this might be the best thing ever
Yes.  I'm officially a pickle lover!

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!
