Things to remember from this weekend:
1) Taking Jacob to his first library program Friday morning. He was the youngest one there and the only one not able to sit up on his own yet, but he did a good job grabbing and shaking the rattles and such. I think he was a little overwhelmed at first about a large group of people suddenly singing (his lower lip kind of quivered a bit), but overall he seemed to enjoy it. I know I did. Something about just watching him experience things for the first time is just so amazing to me. His eyes were wide for the entire program and then he fell asleep as soon as we started leaving the library.
2) Ordering pizza and watching three episodes of Parenthood with my mom and sister while they took turns holding Jacob.
3) Kathleen's wedding shower on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and nice to get out a bit without the baby and chat with a table full of other girls with babies seven months and younger.
4) Going to church on Sunday with Patrick and Jacob. So far no meltdowns from Jacob during mass - he is always good and quiet. When we first started taking him when he three months hold he would stay in his stroller the whole time, but now he prefers to sit in one of our laps so he can look around and inspect everything. Not going to lie, it's a little hard to focus on the mass sometimes with a cute little baby in your lap.
5) (FINALLY) buying a crib for Jacob at Buy Buy Baby yesterday. Hopefully will get his nursery done soon (I mean, he is over six months old at this point. I feel like everyone else gets their nurseries done before their babies are even born). Long story, but he's still sleeping in our room - since he outgrew the bassinet he's been sleeping in his Pack n Play. Hopefully we'll get the room done soon.
6) Woke up about 5 times last night to find Jacob sleeping on his tummy. I know it's technically "safe" at this age now that he's old enough to roll over on his own but it still scares me a bit. So I kept turning him over so he was on his back again. But then within 30 seconds he would roll onto his side. I'd watch him like that for awhile and fall back asleep and then wake up and he'd be on his tummy again dangerously close to the side of his Pack n Play. So I would turn him again and... this basically went on all night. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well.
So, that was our last weekend of August 2016. Coming up this week: Jacob's first eye doctor appointment on Wednesday...
