Jake’s gonna be 2 months old tomorrow!

September 26, 2009 by Pic of the day Uncategorized

Here’s what the baby site sez Jake will be doing:

Coos are your baby’s way of expressing delight, as well as exercising his vocal cords. You can carry on a “conversation” with your baby now. When he gurgles or coos, say something brief or coo back at him. Then wait for him to “say” something back to you. This kind of conversational turn-taking may not sound like much to you now, but it’s actually the beginning of learning how to talk.

He’s already doing most of this right now. More later!

Jake’s 1st Mariners game

It was Felix Hernandez pitching against the Yankees. Jess was a little nervous of the noise and the crowds, but Jake was just fine. We only made it through the 4th inning. We got to see Ichiro, Jeter and A-Rod and Griffey.

7 Weeks Old and Counting!

Here’s a little excerpt from our weekly mail on what Jake is up to:

Your baby’s hands should be mostly open now and ready to reach out to the world. Although your baby can’t grab objects just yet, she can grasp things placed in her hands. And once she wraps her hands around something, she might not let go so easily. She’ll also try to bat at objects, so keep potentially dangerous items far from her reach. This means not holding hot liquids or sharp objects while you’re holding her.
Jake’s definitely doing all those things!

We’ll keep you posted.
