Wow!
I made a goal to post once a week! And WHOLE month has slid by.
Let's back up and just cover Turkey day.
Jake had a wonderful Thanksgiving - we drove down to Albany, OR to see my brother Jared his wife Jessie and kids Ella, 2 and Jonas 5 months.
He really enjoyed chasing Ella. (Ella really enjoyed being chased) Thanksgiving dinner marked the first meal where Jake ate all solids. No baby food.
The key - cut everything into really small peices. He also enjoyed mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and stuffing. Ella introduced Jake to peas. He even ate turkey.
By the end of the weekend Jake was saying Ella. "Eewa" and "Eeya"
Ella also introduced Jake to jumping on the couch and how to empty the coffee table and hide onself inside. (All valuable toddler & early development skills - especially for future mom evasive manuevers.)
Mom and Jessie were busy Thanksgiving cooking dinner - so I volunteered as chief kid wrangler. And let me tell you those bronchos and palmino put in a full day. I don't know how Jessie manages TWO babies. I can just manage one.
Poor Jonas - seemed to want to join in the cavorting. But he was always good for a smile.
Next year - Jake & Jonas will be walking. I can only imagine the mischief intensifying.
Below are pictures of Ella showing how to hide in the coffee table and sharing her peas with Jacob.
