Maybe that's not entirely true, since he did have his first boo boo from falling over (the first of many I'm sure)! He is sitting up more and loves to grab things and babble and laugh. He is also letting out a few more squeals lately, which are not my favorite. He still loves his bouncy chair and even though he's not eating a bunch, he does enjoy sitting with us at the table. So far we have tried avocado, peach sauce, carrots and applesauce. Peach sauce has definitely been his favorite, but I still can't say he's really eating the food- more just playing. He has a sock monkey that one of my Sweet Adelines made for him (she makes one for each of her great grand children and she has made MANY)! I think they look a little creepy, but he loves it. very cute.
Today Jake came home. We had to drive to Santa Barbara to pick him up, but it was a beautiful drive and of course it was worth it! Isaac needed to sleep, so it worked well because he sleeps wonderfully in the car. Once we picked up Jake, we found a spot I could feed Ike before we headed back to San Luis Obispo. Isaac thought having Jake back was great fun and ended up doing many of these poses to look at Jake instead of focusing on the task at hand.
It's a little frustrating, but how can you get mad at that adorable expression?! Once we got home I had a little spread waiting for Jake.
I made some smoked salmon spread (a recipe from who else but Mrs. Ina Garten) and had some crackers to go with it. Ina always has something beautiful for her husband when he's returning from work, so this was my shot at doing something "lovely." It might not be as beautiful as her layouts, but it sure was tasty! It was a great way to wind down after a long day and a fun way to welcome him home.
