Sleeping and such

Jacob has the hardest time going to sleep at night. He is one of those babies that fights sleep until the bitter end and then just passes out. This is on my mind now because as I sit here writing this I am listening to him cry on the monitor and he has been down over an hour. Most nights aren't this bad usually less than a half an hour but tonight he is really hanging on and there is nothing that upsets me more than hearing him cry. It's a hard thing to do but I know that it is the best thing for him. If I get him up and rock him to sleep, he wakes up when I lay him down so I have to let him go to sleep on his own and then he sleeps all night.

On to happier things....he is sitting up so well now! Most of the time he can balance himself and play, he'll still topple over occasionally but he takes it like a champ and goes right back to playing. Tonight he got a Johnny Jump Up from Aunt April and he loved it! He is a little too light to really get the jumping part going but he thoroughly enjoyed swinging around and entertaining us! Here are a couple of pictures from the event.

It must taste pretty good too :)

These are from Friday morning, Mom and I were eating and Jacob was joining us and he was trying his hardest to get to a packet of ketchup on the table and he was so happy with himself when he got it! And you guessed it.....straight to his mouth!
