things thus far....

Note to self: must remember to go to baby class tomorrow!!

So I thought I would mention a few things that have been going on lately. Jacob is growing like a weed and is getting much more entertaining everyday! I have had to go through his closet again and box up outfits that no longer fit. He will be three months next week and is right on track with the size of clothes ~ he is now wearing 3-6 month outfits. I absolutely love his little laugh that is still a little rare to hear ~ he will giggle all the time and coo but only have a full out laugh about once a day. I'm sure that the older he gets the more he will laugh, I'm not even sure he knows what he is laughing about right now!? He has now discovered his hands and I think is completely amazed that they are attached to him, sometimes he will look at his fist and follow his arm as far as he can see then go back to the hand as if he's saying "what the heck is this thing and when did it get here?"

We went swimming on the weekend to a free Mom and tot class, it was fun but more for toddlers then babies. It sure tuckered Jacob out though, he of course fell asleep in the car seat on the way home and I just left him in the seat while I unpacked our bags and he was snoring away so I just let him sleep. After an hour in the car seat I figured I should get him up or else he may not sleep that night but I was wrong, he fell asleep at 8pm and didn't wake up till 6am!!! That's 10 hours!!! :o We need to go swimming more often! he he

Jacob is now consistently sleeping at least 8 hours every night but he likes to go to bed at 8:30pm, then he's up at 4:30 -5am (ish) for a bum change and feeding then we put him back in his crib, sometimes he will fall back asleep till 7:30am and sometimes he will just lay in his crib cooing and talking (it keeps us awake but it's super cute to listen to).

We also had my nephews birthday party to go to on Sunday, Jacob was a little cranky this day and I think he is really turning into a "mommas boy" cause every time I would leave the room he would cry. Today Jacob seems to be more tired then usual, maybe it is from the busy weekend ~ with the swimming and missing his naps or maybe I over stimulated him with all the kids at the party running around yelling? But it was a fun weekend and I'm sure he will get back into his routine in no time. I like having a routine but I don't want to be so stricked about it that it is hard for him to adapt without one?

Today we are going out for dinner for a friends birthday and asked the inlaws to babysit Jacob while we are out. I asked for them to come here cause I think it will be easier, instead of packing up food, diapers, toys, change of clothes, etc. I'm hoping that we won't be out too late cause this will be the first time he is left with a sitter for longer then an hour. And even though I completely trust my inlaws I still worry but I think that is a mom thing or at least a 1st time mom thing! ;) I posted a few pics again the first is him smiling and the one below is him swimming in Grandpa's hot tub, he seems to really enjoy the water!
