Eat, Sleep, Poop

When Jake was first born, I felt like all he did was eat, sleep, and poop.  He still does all 3 a lot, but at least we get lots of play time, giggles, fun sounds he learns how to make, and lots of new tricks he is picking up on in-between these activities.

Jake is eating stage 2 and 2 1/2 foods, and he is a "Puffs" addict (they are cereal- like Cheerios- designed for babies).  His favorite foods these days are pineapple-pear and pear-raspberry combos.  I don't blame him, they're good!  He also likes apples-squash-raisins, apple-cherry, and the squash-zucchini.  He's not a big fan of bananas or peaches.  He tried juice for the first time yesterday, but wasn't actually a huge fan.  His drink of choice is water out of mine or Andrew's cups.

As previously mentioned, sleep is still a HUGE part of Jake's life.  He's a great sleeper at night, plus he takes at least 3 naps every day still, usually about 1.5 to 2 hours each.  All that nap time is related to us keeping him up late- he usually doesn't go to bed until 10, after his last feeding at 9:30pm.  This might make us awful parents, but the evening is when we can both play with him and when we can spend quality time together as a family.  And nap time is when I get my work done.

He used to be a little more picky about wanting to be in his crib for his naps, fussing and rubbing his eyes.  But the past couple of days he hasn't bothered.  He just rolls around until he finds a comfortable location and falls asleep wherever is most convenient for him.  Of course we move him to his crib, but just like his daddy, this boy can sleep anywhere.
