I can do anything better than you can... or at least just as well!

Jake seems to be doing everything right now that Katie didn't have any interest in doing at this stage. And that's okay! Each kid is a unique experience and it keeps us on our toes!

He doesn't mind his feet touching the floor; Katie did not like it one bit.
He grabs for things; Katie was more of a watcher.
He has already rolled to his tummy, pushed himself backwards in his rocker; Katie did it too but she was more relaxed about the timing of her "milestones."

Jake seems to want to be more "involved" in what's going on. Katie has been happy to observe and then decide what she wants to do.

I'll have to see if Jake is as independant as Katie, as stubborn and as "know his own mind" as Katie. It looks like he's already practicing to be as happy and as sweet as Katie!

Last night before dinner Katie had a great time coloring with her crayons and colored pencils on the cardboard piece that was in the crib set I bought for Jake this weekend. We ate pizza and cleaned up and then Katie and Daddy went outside and played with her chalk. They were out there for at least 2 hours, long enough for me to have some snuggle time with Jacob and relax.

Then we all went out on the deck to enjoy the nice evening. The breeze kept the mosquitos away and it was so hot in the house from having the oven on for our pizza and the muffins I was making so it was great to get out.

We didn't do much else, I did laundry and Katie played and Jakey sat and watched everything we were doing. It was a quiet night.

Today we've got to get our tire fixed for the car. It went flat awhile ago and since we've got two cars we've been okay but the blue car, my car, is my favorite of the two and I miss it.
