Cookies & Sleep

 So, Mike has been travelling more for work.  And as you can see, when he leaves, Jacob figures that means cookies for dinner.  He loves to "help" in the kitchen, so if the door is open, that means free reign for him to pull stuff out to play with.

 

Last night I was getting some veggies out, and obviously someone did not want veggies.  He pulled the bag of cookies out of the freezer, which I didnt think much of, becuase the bag was sealed.

 



As you can see, someone figured out how to open the bag...  To which I thought, fine, it keeps him entertained, and the cookies were frozen, so he won't eat them.  He proved me wrong.  He gnawed on the cookies until pieces broke off.  He would bite off one, then take a bite out of another one.





 



By the time i got him into the high chair, he had death grip on 3 cookies... I think he gets the sweet tooth from his daddy.

 He really hams it up for the camera now.  I know the pic is blurry (i have to stop laughing when taking a pic) but when I get the camera out he makes the face he has above.  WHich is also the second pic of the cookie fiasco too. 

He was having a blast climbing into the suitcase, pulling stuff out, and shutting hte top on himself. 

 He moved into the toddler room at daycare.  It's still a 4:1 ratio, but instead of 2 teachers and 8 kids, it's 3 teachers and 12 kids.  Yikes!  The room also switches to one nap a day, instead of 2.  The first week was a little rough with the new sleep schedule.  I took him on a walk on Saturday, and poor lil guy was so warm he fell asleep on the walk.  By the time we got back, he had toppled over at the waist and was laying with his head on the seat in front of him.

We also reached a new milestone, he slept "through" the night last night.  He went to bed at 7:30, woke up at 10:30, and back to sleep until 5:30.  That is UNHEARD of at our house.  He has never slept that well, or that long.  Maybe this one nap thing isn't so bad! 

 

 

 

The new game at dinner is to eat as much as possible.  When he "finishes" he will sign all done, and then scream while you get the wash cloth ready to clean him up.  As you are taking the tray off of the chair, he will grab as much food as possible, and shove it in his mouth with one hand, and keep grabbing at the tray with the other.  It's a few seconds of tug of war while he shovels in extra food (if you leave the tray, he screams, so it's not that he's still hungry).  Then, he realized all the food he has stashed on his clothes, and his chair, and will eat that while you are putting the tray down.  As you can see above, it was spagetti night, and surprisingly, some food did make it into his mouth.
