Fingernails

Oh my...it's been another week already? I find that it takes me a week to update my blog, so I'm perpetually a week behind. The only reason I have time for this at all is because Jacob is napping on my lap, so I can't go anywhere anyway. And now he's awake, but nursing. Oh well...
So here's my weekly update:
Jacob started rubbing his eye. He wasn't tired or anything, he would just randomly rub it. I called the doctor and they had me come in immediately. It turned out that he has a scratch on his cornea. I keep his nails clipped, but he still managed to scratch his eye. The doctor gave me drops and we go back for another appointment on Wednesday.
We finally got the Jumparoo! We went to a couple Walmarts and they didn't have it in stock. I called another Walmart and they did have it, but it was more expensive there then online with shipping. I ordered it online and it came on Wednesday. Jacob loves it! He can only tolerate about 10-15 minutes of playtime at a time before he's over-stimulated, but it's worth it to be able to put him down. Thank you Uncle Peter and Aunt Terry!


He's actually reaching for things now!!!


Too bad his feet don't reach! (We actually have to put a box under them so he can bounce)

And another new toy, courtesy of Toby and Erin: A Chorus Gym. It's the same one that we gave to our niece Brooke for Christmas. Jacob loves it! He can't stop squealing and laughing!

This is a picture from this morning! As I write, he's still squealing joyfully with bug-eyes at the flashing lights and music.

When he gets wound up from the Chorus Gym, I put him in the Jumparoo and then the swing. Then I feed him and he's out for the afternoon. Pretty soon he'll be able to entertain himself and I can get more things done. He's growing so fast!

We are almost ready for our big trip. We are going camping this weekend for one last test before we go. I will be working on getting things together all week with Jacob in the sling. It's cute, I'll have to get a picture.

Gotta go! Jacob is just got done with the Jumparoo and he isn't wanting to be in his swing. Hopefully I'll get to post more than just once a week!
