(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)Since the last post, Jake's been to the Plymouth splash park twice! The first time, Michele took him with GnGT and DLCnM - D. They went a week ago Monday while Dan and I were at work. Both Colin and Jake seemed to have a blast. Then, today, Michele went back to the same park with several of the teachers she works with and their kids. Jo and Elle went along this time too, even thought they don't appear in any of our photos.
Last weekend also brought Jen and Bret into town. Melissa threw a surprise birthday party for her husband Steve. The party was a joint party for Steve and one of his buddies who was also turning 30. After the party, Bret and Jen crashed at our place. We had a fun night with Chinese food, wine, and a couple of old scrapbooks. Then, on Sunday, Melissa and Steve brought Jack over. Jake and Jack really seemed to play well together during the brief time when one or the other wasn't asleep.
Jake has progressed rather quickly from standing to walking. He can take 3 or 4 steps now before he decides to lunge at whatever his target happens to be. He can also stand up without using furniture or anything else to assist him. I think he still gets a bigger kick out of that than the walking itself. Thankfully he's making all this progress now because he returns to day care next week. We don't want them to think we've been stunting his development all summer. Michele feels like this is the last week of summer since next week she'll be returning to school to start getting her classroom in order. I think we're going to try to pack a few more summer events into this weekend. Then, after that, we have a few weekend trips, and she'll be back to school full-time. Don't feel too sorry for her though, she's had a great summer and enjoyed every second spent with Jake (at least the seconds where he wasn't refusing to eat or drink).
