Since Robert got to go to the Gators game last week, I jumped at the chance to see them play this week when my friend Melissa offered me her extra ticket. We had a great "Mommy's Day Out" at the Swamp - keeping an extra careful eye on #15.
The next day it was back to business as usual. We're still waiting for Jacoby to get his first tooth. Both of us thought for sure something would have popped through by now. EVERYTHING goes in the mouth and he loves frozen chew toys. Today he was just fussy for no good reason so we dusted off the Baby Bjorn (a lifesaver in the first few weeks after he was born) and went for a walk around the neighborhood.
Still no teeth when we got back. Oh well. It'll happen when it happens. He was, however, in a much better mood. We call his super-active periods "tearing it up." Mostly because that's exactly what he does. Check it out...
...and finally he takes a break for a long suck off the sippy cup (by the way, aren't those jammies cute? I got them at Weecycle).
Then, apparently reenergized, he climbed onto the fireplace and continued to "tear it up." The boy has absolutely no fear. Why do I think this might be trouble later on down the road?
Daddy couldn't stand watching Coby climb on the brick, so he didn't stay there long. In fact, five minutes later he was in his crib fast asleep. Let hear it for "tearing it up!"
While Coby was napping we were able to get the lights up around the front of the house.
Coby woke up just in time to watch us plug in the Christmas lights!
Aren't they beautiful? We're the first house on our block to have lights up, although lots of other homes in the neighborhood have decorations. In fact, we got tips from a family a few streets over on how to hang the lights off the gutter. This is their first Christmas in their house too and they have a 2 year old. Maybe a future doubles partner for Jacoby? :o) It's nice to finally be meeting some of the neighbors now that it's cool enough to go walking outside more often.
