A Baby, a Dog, a Blog: Monkey Bizness

We're starting to get into the swing of things with Daddy gone some days late at night. On these days, I try to go out with Jake so my day is more split and it doesn't seem as long. Yesterday, I took Jake right next door to a place called Monkey Bizness. We've been there once before when Jake just started to crawl, so it was a much different experience for him now that he's a walker! We had a great time and the place was filled with kids. Jake tends to follow the bigger kids and observe everything going on around him. Sometimes, he would just walk around the place in a big circle, not touching anything, but just looking to see what all the kids were up to.

The bigger kids (probably around age 3), enjoyed making Jake the bad guy in all their pretend worlds. Jake tried climbing up on their pirate tower and he was considered the stowaway stealing their gold. At one point, Jake put on a postal service hat that covered his eyes and he walked around looking like a zombie and the kids would run away from him and whoever got tagged by Jake was out. Nobody got tagged. Of course, Jake didn't understand these games and was mainly excited about walking around blindfolded! He is a character! We found a little girl born just two days before Jake, so I thought he would want to play with her. He took one look at her and headed the opposite direction to play with the big kids.

Videos and pictures are from yesterday and a few from a couple weeks ago, too.
