Adding Foods

Jacob has now added carrots to his repertoire of food. I don't think he was sure about it after the first bite as he definitely knew it was something different than he had before. After a few bites, he had his mouth open waiting for more. His mother was studying and we forgot to put a bib on him, so needless to say when you are feeding him in a bouncer, there was food all over him. Amy mentioned that maybe we should get out his booster chair to help stop him from bouncing all over. Of course, Jacob isn't sitting up by himself enough for that, but maybe we can rig something up to keep him upright. He is starting to do mini sit-ups on occasion to work out those stomach muscles.

Sorry, no pictures of the carrots all over his face. Frankie is now enjoying her little brother a little more... ;)! She gets the leftovers/gets to clean out Jacob's food dish. Aside from the fact Jacob's food is keeping her close while he is eating, she is getting more curious about him and letting him pet her. It used to freak her out when Jacob was even near her and she was getting touch, regardless of who it was. It's nice to see that Frankie is a little more interested. Llasa's aren't always the most kid friendly and being 13-1/2 years old doesn't help much either.

Okay, so another little story about today. I was downstairs doing some rearranging and also playing around and all of a sudden I hear "Oh, my LooooRRDdddd!!!", which sounded like Jacob just did something for the first time. I quickly finished what I was doing and ran upstairs to see what the new trick was... As I am rounding the corner to the living room, I hear Pee U!!!! False alarm. All of the commotion was just over and "orange load" as Amy called it. You would have thought it was the worst smell she had ever met up with!!!
