Just giving you a shout out on this dry Sunday evening. We are super psyched for Jake's latest gadget the Baby Einstein Activity Jumper! The boy goes CRAZY for jumping these days and how can you resist the purity of baby laughter! So we buckled and sacrificed another 50feet of space for yet another huge, bulky, baby gadget! He gets so excited in jumpers that people actually ask us to put him in so they can watch his reactions! It's pretty intense and you'll see for yourselves soon enough!
We also had our third baby sign language class and picked up a few new signs like: gentle(brush flat hand), thank you(flat hand off the chin) not to be confused with f*** you(flat hand under the chin), mom & dad, grandma (one 5hand off the chin twice)not to be confused with two five hands which means vomit, and good job(two fists hitting at the wrists all knuckles facing up) not to be confused with good sex (same gesture but one fist up and one down)!!!! It's really funny how so many words in sign if not done correctly can mean something vulgar or inappropriate! So PLEASE don't try at home unless you are ready to sign something dirty and have your toddler sign it as well!Regardless, we are working hard to teach Jake some new signs that can help alleviate any stress or frustration due to communication issues! We'll keep you posted on progress!
We hung out with some friends from my Peps group on Friday and had a blast! It was super cool to be able to meet up with husbands, wives, and babies to share some laughs, good food and drink, at a time that works for us all! Baby less peeps don't understand the frustration of trying to hook up with people at times that works into baby's schedule! So this was a big deal! It was nice to make some friends and feel totally normal- pre-baby normal! We are planning on meeting all together at least once a month! I feel so lucky to have met and bonded with so many cool people going through similar experiences!
And... totally subjective but we think Jake is pretty damn cute so we are submitting the first of the below pics to the Reggis&Kelly cutest baby contest. I know don't laugh! But, it would be pretty cool to see him on the cover of Parenting Magazine! And.. we are such proud parents! So what do you think? Cute or what?
Well, enjoy the pics and I'll send a jumperoo video out soon so you all can share in the fun!!
Until then, keep shining!
