Paper? Really?

Jake and I had a fabulous day! He woke up at 6:30, but was down for a nap from 8-9:30. We went on a walk right after his breakfast because it was going to be another hot day! It was a short one because even by 10:00 it was toasty out.

Jake has completely figured out how to destroy the play mat. He can take off every edge and most the letters. He takes them off, chews on them to hear the squeaky sound they make against his teeth and then moves on to the next one.

He is obsessed with paper, which is not a good thing. I was reading a parenting magazine on the floor today while he played and he rolled himself to me and started ripping the pages! Well, then Addy thought it was a game so she started ripping the pages from the back. So here I have a baby ripping the pages from the front and a dog ripping the pages from the back while I hold the middle section and say NO! I finally threw the magazine away which made Jake very anger. He cried for a good 15 minutes while I tried showing him baby proof toys. He'd take whatever toy I gave him and throw it the other direction! He is too smart!

Later on, he started obsessing over the remotes. We were on the floor playing and he spotted the remote on the edge of the couch. He whined and stretched for it but I moved it back to the TV remote caddy thing we have. He rolled over to it and started crying. Again, it took me a good 15 minutes before I found something to distract him from the remote!

I found a water park right down the road from us today, "Rice Pool and Water Park." I think I'm going to check it out with Jake and see if he likes it. It has a baby area with little spray fountains and such. He loves the water so I think he'll love it! Hoping to make it this week!

Our camera ran out of battery today so I'm just posting some pics from when Grammy and Papa were here to visit. Charging the battery overnight so we'll have some good pics and videos tomorrow!
