The Next Chapter

A little behind on the blogs, but not much going on in the Butwin household besides watching Daddy study his butt off this past week for finals. On a GREAT note, he is finished! On to the next chapter! Only one more year until we're on our way to Indy!

Jake has been teething really bad this week. I can see the top teeth bulging and trying to cut through. Poor little guy is really struggling at night and during nap times. I've been leaving teething rings in the crib for him during these times and it seems to help a little. He's so miserable. Super cranky, too!

Lately, we've been calling Jake "Barefoot Butwin" because he HATES anything on his feet. Back when he wore socks, he was still small and not mobile. Now that he's moving and more aware, he tries to kick his socks and shoes right off. I've been putting socks on him, at least while in the house, so he gets used to them. Fall is right around the corner and he won't be able to crawl and walk around barefoot!! He's already making progress. Not so much with the shoes though. Hopefully, by 9 month picture time, he'll keep his new shoes on! If the pictures come back with him barefoot, you'll know why!

Now that Daddy is off for two weeks, we're going to spend some good old fashion family time together. This weekend we'll be going to the Cubs game with Papa. And later next week we'll be making a trip to the Dupage Children's Museum and if the weather's nice, to the water park.

Below are two videos. One is Jake attempting to crawl under the kitchen table and the other is of him playing with my old cell phone! He LOVED it and talks away.
