We spent the weekend at home. Dan had OBU Homecoming and rehearsal to attend so we just decided to take it easy and enjoy the nice weather on the porch. I've been giving Jacob a little rice cereal at dinner a few days a week to get him used to the idea. I think he's warming up to it, although not quite loving it yet! Just before the video below was taken he had downed about 3 bites with gusto, but by the time I got out the camera he'd had enough. He has started really holding on to toys and getting them into his mouth this week. He likes to grab a hold of the toys hooked to his carseat and play with those whole we're in the car. He sucessfully rolled over from his back to his front this weekend after watching big brother Micah demonstrate on the living room floor. Now he wants to practice all the time, none of this lying in the infant seat thing anymore! Although he is still waking up a lot at night, he is getting better with soothing himself back to sleep so we don't have to get up as much. Sometimes putting him down for a nap is as easy as plopping him in the exersaucer. He loves to fall asleep in it after bouncing around in there for a few minutes. I guess it tuckers him out! I can't believe I am going to have a four-year-old in just a month! Micah has grown up so much this year. He knows his numbers up to 20, ABC's, colors, shapes (including those with more than 4 sides) and can even count in Spanish. He's a very good storyteller. Last night he told me he is learning to read at school! Hopefully, he will always share our love of books.
