I thought I had better blog an entry detailing Jake’s latest shenanigans before I forget. In the world of Jake, he has taken to pretending to suck a Werthers original. I was, initially, a little worried and thought that he had swallowed a hair. Ames checked with the doctor but apparently this is another sign of them old pegs making their way through! He now confidently holds his feet with his hands and has been known on occasion to even suck his own feet, which is quite an amusing sight! Yesterday Ames saw Jake roll completely for the first time. Every so often he has been rolling onto his side but never all the way round.
Okay, so that’s the Werthers sucking, feet grabbing and the rolling. The last thing he has learnt to do is to take big steps when he is held in a standing position. This is amazing because he actually lurches forward while raising his leg and then plants it firmly on the floor before trying with the other leg. It is very cute to watch.
This morning he woke at 5am and would not go back to sleep even though he was blatantly tired with constant eye rubbing and yawning. I took him upstairs while Ames slept and we watched some cbeebies but he was not in the mood and kept bellowing. In the end we gave him his dummy and within minutes he had popped it out and was sleeping soundly. In fact I phoned Ames at 8.30am after I had arrived in Staines and the little Kebob was still fast asleep. Jake has been on such good form the last few days, very smiley and chatty. This may be coming to an end (possibly a poo is on the way) as the last couple of nights he has been a beast to get to sleep.
