Trip to the Aquarium

We had a girls day out with the kids. It was Jesse and I, my friend Dani and her son Brandon, and my friend Laura. The kids had a blast. Jesse even got to touch a ray. It was fun. Here are some pics we got while we were there. Notice Jesse and Brandon seem to be best friends already, just like their mamas.

Jesse playing with my cell phone

I just thought he was so cute playing with my cell phone so I called it to see what he would do. He is just the cutest thing ever.

Jesse and the Living Museum

A friend of mine Laura and I took Jesse to the Virginia Living Museum here in Newport News yesterday and let me tell you Jesse had a blast! Laura had decided that I don't have enough pics of Jesse and I together because I'm always the one behind the camera. She took pics all day. I figured I post some to show how much fun we had. I think I'd have to say his favorite part was a toss up between looking at the fish and sitting in the eagle nest.

Feeding

Jesse has now mastered the chunky food thing now so we are focusing on getting him to feed himself with a spoon. We are having to put our hand over his on the spoon, but he's doing good with it. The biggest problem we have is him trying to shovel everything in his mouth at once and what to do with his other hand. His other hand seems to end up in the bowl.lol It is real fun to see how excited he is to be using the spoon though. He cheers after every couple bites.

Update on us

Ok so I haven't been on here for a while. My hard drive crashed on my desktop so I said the heck with it and got a laptop. Now our computer desk is gone and has given Jesse more room to roam around. Jesse amazes me! He is growing up so fast. He is doing new stuff everyday. We are really focusing on his language and feeding skills right now and it is going great. He is really trying to talk now and his feeding skills are moving right along as well. I think he'll be spoon feeding himself real soon. We just have to get rid of the whole compulsive stuffing his mouth habit that he has now. Anyway, that's about it around here.

family pics

Well, we finally decided that it was time to get some family pics done. We've always wanted to, but never had the extra money since every time we have anything extra it gets spent on something for Jesse.

New update

Haven't had much time to update this thing since I had my surgery and Jesse has been running all over the place. He is so dang active I can't seem to catch much of a break. He is doing outstanding. He is walking like a pro now and has since moved onto his feeding and speech skills. He is def. a music lover and is trying to sing along with the Wiggles. He loves techno music thanks to my husband. He gets right up and starts shaking his booty every time techno is played which would be never if it was up to me.LOL Anyway, things are great here. Jesse is just cruising all over the place with me or Tony not far behind to keep him out of trouble.
