For Sale!!!!!

I heard my mummy say something to daddy about putting me up for sale! Now i know mummy likes sales cause she says that she can get things at good prices. Daddy likes to buy tools on sale too. But I don't quite understand why mummy and daddy want to buy me cause they already have me and all the fun things that I do. Like the last two days I have been a little grouchy. I'm not sure why but it seems that I have been wanting to sleep lots but when I'm awake everything makes me upset. I get upset when mummy puts me down, when she doesn't give me the bowl that I want, the drink quick enough, when she puts my coat on, when she takes things away from me and well you know how the rest goes. Grandma thinks that maybe I'm cutting another tooth and that this ones not as easy as the others were.
Now so you all don't think that I have been a grouch the whole time I have managed a few happier times this weekend. On Saturday, mummy and my auntie Kim and uncle Frank went to see Mike Holmes in Vancouver. He was very entertaining and I clapped and shouted for him. Then auntie Kim let me run over pushy peoples feet when they tried to block mummy from walking with us. On Sunday, we went up to the property and laughed as daddy tried to start a fire with wet wood. Then mummy let me drive in the drivers seat with her and when she asked me if I enjoyed driving I replied a resounding "NO". That night we went to help uncle Frank eat birthday cake and I got to have fun with my cousins. But on the drive home I was cranky again and making my parents wonder if some monster had taken over my body.

Skating Fun

Today mummy and I went skating with Keira and her mummy and Ellenor and her mummy. I had lots of fun cause mummy pushed me around in the stroller really fast and then she put some funny little two bladed skates on my boots and stood me up on the ice. At first it wasn't fun cause I was very tired and I didn't really want to stand up but then she let me play in this cool car and she carried me around and skated really fast.

Then she showed the other mummy's how to spin around and make themselves dizzy. Mummy said that she wants me to really like skating so that we can share these fun times together. I think I could learn to really like it.

Here's my friends and their mummys pushing them

Fully Protected

On Monday, mummy took me to the store to buy me a pair of bobskates and some protective gear. Since I couldn't wear the skates in the house she thought I should practice with my new helmet and pads. I thought I should at least practice with my car too to see if they can withstand running into walls at full speed.

I thought I might also need some protection elsewear but mummy said this wasn't the right peice of equipment for that.

Weekend Fun

I have had a very fun weekend. On Saturday morning I got to hang out with the boys and we went to the park and played on the slides, swings and climbers. I had fun eluding mummy everytime she tried to take my picture and she finally had to ask one of the other mummies to hold me to get a picture of me near the tube. I even got to go down the slide by myself and this time I didn't bonk my head.

Mummy and I tried out the swings together and then I got to sit on the big swings on my own (so mummy could take my picture).

I was running around and even managed to fall into the dirt and get it all over my face. Being a boy is great cause mummy didn't even try to wash it off right away.

That night after all that playing rough, mummy thought I should have a treat so I got to have a bubble bath. She filled the tub up super full and ran lots and lots of bubbles into the tub. Then she showed me how to blow them all over the place. I thought they looked tasty and tried to eat them but then found out they don't taste as good as they look.

Today, mummy, daddy and i went grocery shopping for some fun food for me. Mummy put all sorts of fun things into the cart and daddy ranted and raved about not being able to find things (it's a good thing mummy didn't go to Stuperstore). When we got home i got to have lots of great foods like cheese sticks, pudding and rice cakes.Later that day we went to visit my Aunty Lisa and goofy Uncle Mark. I got to play the guitar, chase the dogs and cats and talk on the phone. I was even practicing my sharing by giving my aunt a piece of my rice cake (she didn't seem too fond of it though).

Tonight I got to have another bath and well I have been having a few accidents in the tub lately that have caused a few short tub times. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, most of it floats and at least i didn't make a diaper dirty.

Happy Valentine's Mommy!

Since I lurned to type yesturday (sorta), I werked realy hard on my spelling so I cood rite a pome for my faverit purson:

A Valentine for my Mommy

Mommies are not rare, thoe good ones are quite preshus.
They love to love thare famlees and cope with Daddy's messes.
They let him act romantik (or get him drunk) so maybe
they can get him ware they want him... in bed to make a baby!

Then when they got us in them, they put up with the puking
and hope that Daddy clues in and helps out with the cooking.
They let us kick thare innards and make thare bladdurs pop;
and even seem quite happy when at last our waters drop!

They grunt and grone and howl and moan and sweat a pail or two,
They push down low and huff and blow (sometimes they even poo!)
As many watch, we leave thare crotch, beneath deflated tummies;
to be wiped down (I was quite brown) and given to our mummies.

Her love for me was instint, like a pakaged cup o’ noodles;
and seemingly unending (her and Dad adore me oodles).
They brott me home and showed me to thare fuzzy kitties three,
and littel did I know it, we became a family.

Thru many munths (some sleepless) mummy spared me from her wrath;
Despite some bitten nipples and me crapping in my bath.
I figger I have soiled ‘bout a thousand pounds of Pampers;
I’ve lurned to empty drawers and to upset londry hampers.

But most of all I lurned to trust my mummy to the bone.
She says that I am preshus too and made hur house a home.
And even when she calls me “brat” I know that I’ll be fine,
‘Cause she’s the world’s best mummy and she’s my Valentine!

Lots of luv and drool,
Jacob

Jacob's account of things

Mummy has been doing a really good job of writing in my blog and writing down what I tell her to, but I thought it was time that I type down what my thoughts are since i have been reading lots and I figure I can tell everyone what I have been doing. So here goes

Well first I did this

Needles

Well we survived the dreaded day of taking Jacob into to have his one year shots. Steve and I were dreading these sets of shots because Jacob is now old enough to realize what is coming. Amazingly he did great. The first shot was in the muscle of his arm and he didn't cry until it came out and then when his daddy hugged him closer he guessed what was next. Two more shots one in each arm. By the time the third shot was over, the poor guy was in tears and didn't want to be cuddled cause he was afraid there was more. Luckily that was it and when the health nurse blew some bubbles and he tried to catch them he was over his crying. then if that wasn't enough, I took him with me to the doctors and had his lungs checked out to make sure his cold hadn't progressed to something else. Well he was not happy that he had to sit confined against me while the doctor listened to his chest and checked out his throat and ears, he probably thought he was going to get poked again. Needless to say, I'm sure that he didn't think today was a very fun day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and he can play with his friends and have some fun at the park.

Busy, busy, busy

This weekend has been a very busy one for me. Friday i had the babies come over to play and we got into all sorts of things. I showed them my cupboard of dishtowels and we had fun scattering them all over the floor. I also played a fun game with mummy where i would bash my toys on the glass coffee table and she would say something in a high voice and then toss me around. I think she had fun too!

Then on Saturday I went for a nice long walk in the carrier on daddy's back while mummy walked beside us making faces at me. When we got home, I didn't really want to sleep so mummy and daddy had to help me with it (No we didn't knock him out!). After I got up from my nap, mummy took me shopping. I helped her pick out a new boobie sling. Of course I just liked to pull the tags off the clothes when she strolled too close to them. After ahwile I got sick of sitting in my stroller so she let me walk from one end of the mall to the other. You should see how much glass there is to smush your face up against. On the way home we stopped at the park near my grandparents house and I got to play at all the fun play areas. Mummy let me go down the slide by myself twice but I ended up bonking my head so I wasn't too happy. I had lots of fun and then we stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa before heading home.

On Sunday we went for another walk (in my stroller this time cause it was spitting out). We walked over to Grandma Hatzl's and I got to help my daddy fix a chair and ride the vacuum. On the way home I fell asleep in my nice soft sheepskin. Once again though I made mummy and daddy help me fall asleep when we got home. I blame it on this cold that I have, it feels better when mummy and daddy hold me. After my nap we went for a car ride to visit some friends and found out they have another new baby. they have lots of nice kids to play with and they even let me play with their toys.

Now just in case you think that all I did was play this weekend. I also learned to say "more" (but sometimes I still like to scream for more), "Bib" though sometimes it sounds like "bub" and I have learned to use some sign language to tell my parents what I want. I still get frustrated and have learned that some things just annoy me cause my hands can't do everything.

My memorable part of the weekend was this afternoon when I decided that I needed to join daddy in the shower cause he looked like he was having too much fun. So when mummy opened the shower door to hand daddy something, I took that as my invitation to step in. Of course I still had on my shirt, onsie and diaper but they were minor problems. My goal was reached, I was standing under the spray with water falling on my head. Okay mummy did eventually rescue me from from wet clothes so that I could enjoy the experience au natural.

Mummy has said that tommorow is not going to be a very fun day so she's glad that I had such a good weekend. I wonder what she means by that????

Checking out the new backyard

Today was a very busy day. This morning we went up to visit my new backyard. Mummy got me all bundled into my mucky clothes so I could walk around and check things out. I found out that my new yard is very, very muddy and mummy said that hopefully by the time we move up there we will have some grass planted so that I don't end up covered in mud everytime i step outside.
I also found out that I have my very own tire to swing on. Of course I had to taste it to make sure that it was safe to use and it was so mummy let me go for a swing.

I think I might like this new place once it's all done. There's all sorts of things that I can get into up there.

Then this afternoon we went shopping and I got to help mummy and daddy look at doors and windows. I was being very good so mummy let me out of my stroller to walk around and i met all sorts of friendly people when i was pushing my stroller into them. It was a very full day so I had a very late nap and now I'm raring to go all night long.
