Hallways Are New Found Fun
Oh how Jacob is getting bigger and bigger. With every little bit of growth, he becomes increasingly more mobile. This also makes it more and more fun and challenging at the same time.
Jacob has made a couple of visits in recent days to the hospital where his grandma has now been for over a week. Upon our arrival, he was fine with playing in the room on the floor and was pretty content. He would watch people walk by in the hall and back and forth by him (for the lady next to his grandma) and was okay. Then, there were many visitors stopping by to see Jacob and say hi because they thought he was so cute. I think this intrigued Jacob, so had to venture to the door and check out where these people were coming and going from. He hung right by the door as he likes to see his mommy or daddy to know they are right there…
It didn’t take Jacob take long to figure out that these nice people looked like they were having fun walking in the hallway, so he had try it too! After all, he doesn’t have any hallways like this at home and there was plenty of room to roam. It was time for Jacob to start getting exercise up and down the hallway by playing chase. Of course, Jacob was the one getting chased. He would look over his shoulder to make sure you were there and giggle so hard at times that it would cause him to fall. This kept him occupied for quite a while and he was being very good. Then it was time for daddy to get a drink from the fountain and this changed things… Of course, Jacob wanted to get a drink too, or so I thought ;)! Little hands began playing in the water which was fun for him. So much fun that he didn’t want to leave the fountain. This is when the walks in the hallway stopped at every fountain that he found. This was coupled with it being nap time, so we decided it was time to go.
Not to be outdone, Grandma G. had to get into the action too! She walked to her doorway and watched Jacob fly (as fast as a new walker can…) down the hallway toward the elevator. A quick look over his shoulder and wave to Grandma G. and onto the elevator we went…
FYI – We are hoping that Grandma G. heads home tomorrow. As long as the oral medication works, she will be out of the hospital for Thanksgiving.
