Tub Time

I think bath time is a wonderful time to sing. And a wonderful time to learn about your body. After all, you're already naked! Jacob really decided to join in the singing last night. Of course, by the time Daddy made it in with the camera he had simmered down a bit and was distracted. He was fully prepared for a quick picture, but not a full blown performance. You can't even hear him sing "me" at the end, but he did sing it. I also had to cut the beginning of the video. Lee was initially standing up and I didn't want my baby's privates splattered all over the internet. Listen close at the end.....Jacob says, "I love you, DaDa."

Helper

At some point...between August and March....our kiddie pool blew over and filled with rain and leaves. Every other day I will comment to Lee, "We really need to empty that pool." Every other day since....probably November. I'm not sure what prompted it, but today we took on that challenge. Jacob was eager to help. I held him back as long as I could, but eventually gave in and accepted that he was going to get wet. I didn't get any of the really good stuff. He filled up the bucket a few times and dumped it right down the front of himself, screaming with glee the entire time! He had soooooo much fun. The disappointment overtook him when we were done and many tears were shed:(

Stray Cat

If you know me and read the title of this post you must be thinking.."I can't believe they took in another stray cat, suckers!" Well, we couldn't turn this one away. He's awfully cute. He still doesn't know how to use the box, but he will learn in time. He's a little crazy, but he calms down and gets pretty lovey at night. I guess he misses the streets a little, because he still won't eat out of his dishes....he prefers digging around on the floor and the trash.

HE EATS

After....I don't know, months.....of not eating dinner, Jacob finally decided to eat last night. It was homemade spaghetti sauce, and not very good. I was missing a few ingredients and didn't feel like cooking anyway. But apparently he loved it! I thought that I liked my food bland...but Jacob likes his food REALLY bland.
