Playtime

 Micah cools off in the sprinkler

It's hot. Like 100+ degrees hot, everyday. So we have to be creative when it comes to play time around here. Micah's been living it up in the backyard sprinkler and sometimes, the kiddie pool we set up on the porch. Jacob stays indoors for the most part since it's just too hot for him. Luckily, he is easily amused :-) His latest favorite pasttime is the mobile in his crib. He will happily watch the moons and stars go around and listen to the tinkly music for 10 or 15 minutes! We did manage to get out the baby carrier from Aunt Helen one day and walk to the library across the street. Hopefully, we'll be able to do more of that soon when it cools down this fall. Jacob had a great weekend, sleeping for 6 hours on Saturday night! He was having some trouble with fussing while eating so the Dr. recommended we try some Zantac to help with possible reflux. We think it may be working because he ate without any problems yesterday and ate like a horse! Not that he's suffering that department anyway :-) I noticed that not only have I had to let out the straps in his carseat, but I also had to do it on Micah's--looks like the kid is finally starting to grow taller! I know, I should enjoy this phase now before I am forced to buy him new pants every 4 months :-)
