MAJOR PROGRESS!!!

Some very exciting stuff has been happening at the Vasami household lately! It's been insanely busy, so I am sorry I haven't posted more lately. I will try to do better in 2007! :)

1. Jake is talking more! He FINALLY said "MAMA"!! Yeah! He also says "Dada" "Baba" "Nana" and... "Eggo". Funny enough, Eggo might have been his first word - ha! He would babble it while crying with his binkie in his mouth - "eggo-wegga-wegga".

2. JAKE STOOD TODAY!!! He pulled himself up into a stand by pulling up on his new Baby Grand Piano that his grandparents got him for Christmas! It only lasted a second, but I was so thrilled to see him using his legs for once!!

3. Jake finally learned how to bounce! He is using his Jumperoo properly for the first time since we've owned it (5 months). He learned to bounce in the activity center at Mema Mary's house over Christmas. Now he can't stop bouncing in everything - crib, bed, floor, activity centers that don't bounce - etc.

4. Jake willingly took food on a spoon!!! This is the first time he has let me put a spoon in his mouth in MONTHS! He usually clamps his jaws together and turns away, refusing ANY baby food. Now, the good news takes a bad turn here, because all I had to offer him was peas. Bad move. Ralph hates peas, I should have known his son would too. So he took the peas, tasted the peas, spit out the peas, made a horrible face, gagged, and puked all over himself and his toy. Maybe I will go back to bananas....

Have a great weekend!

Wow....very cool milestones! Maddy hates peas too! She hasn't thrown up yet, but she does this shudder and shake of her head and shoulders. It's really kind of funny. We periodically sneak them in to "get her used to them" but really we just want to see the faces she makes!
