Well, I am waiting awfully late at night to be updating my blog. But like Nike says, Just Do It! I mean, we are pushing 9:30 folks! I am a 10 o'clock bed timer and haven't even gotten my PJs on yet. Yikes!
So lately, what's been going on? Well, Jacob and I have just been enjoying our time together. He is laughing a lot now, which is fun, and hitting me with random items in the face, which is not fun. Is he learning the difference between what hurts and doesn't? I don't think so. We are still working on that. Yesterday, I said "nice" and I used his hand to gently stroke my cheek. We did this a couple of times, and I also did it to him. So today when I got home from work, we were playing, and he hit me in the face. Then I said "ouch, be nice" and he stroked my cheek, then hit me one more time. This is just like anything I am teaching him lately: one step forward and two steps back. Tonight we got in a wrestling match as I was trying to put on his diaper and pajamas. He reminds me very much of an alligator with all of his twisting and turning. He's quite crafty. At the end I feel the urge to throw my hand in the air as if I just roped a calf and say "time." This makes me miss Jarod Allen playing for the Chiefs. Sigh.
He is also starting to converse more, which is fun. He says mama, dada, papa (grandpa), more, bye bye, night night, ball, but his absolute favorite word right now is "Aisha." And he says it plain as day. He just walks around the house saying, "Aisha, Aisha, Aisha, Aisha." He also has taken to saying his baby sitter's name a lot which is Darla "Dala." He signs more, all done, milk, eat, drink. When you say "love you" he automatically blows you a kiss. He also says a LOT of indiscriminate things. He multi-tasks by talking on two cell phones at once, then in the middle of his convo, he will hold both phones up to your ears and expect you to have a conversation. I mean this kid not only expects attention, he demands it!
My sister is coming in town this weekend, and I am very excited to see her! On another positive note, I took Montana for a run tonight for the first time in a while and I think he enjoyed it. I left Gracie at home, but I think she's okay with that. When I take the dogs and Jacob for a walk, 90% of the time she jumps in the bottom of the stroller and just rides. She could care less about actually walking. Can we say princess? Montana is by far the best dog I have ever had. I would recommend him to anyone! Gracie randomly pees inside (although she's shown improvement over the last few months) and seems to be a little ADHD. She will never just sit in your lap. And if she gets remotely close to your face, keep your mouth closed. She is definitely a licker. Love her still though.
Jacob and I are looking forward to Jonny returning! Soon soon soon!!
