One Last September Post...

...To document some first time events that happened this week.

1. I did my first ever school portrait shoot and lived to tell the tale.  It was stressful, fun, and a huge learning experience.  I think I would do it again.  It's very hard to be creative when you have less than a minute to spend with each child, and there really aren't any do-overs unless you catch the error right away.

2. Because of item one, Jacob spend his first morning in a daycare facility.  I took him to a Mothers' Day Out program run by a local church.  He was happy, safe, and sound when I picked him up 3 hrs later, but I can't say many positive things about the woman running the infant room.  She seemed stressed, irritated by her job, and even went so far as to complain to me about other babies in the room. Not a good impression.  I will try very hard to not have to dump Jacob off at daycare.

3. Jacob started playing peek-a-boo with his hands on Sunday night.  He puts his hands over his ears instead of over his eyes, but we get it.  He loves this.  He's such a sweet baby!

4.  Jacob has also started climbing onto small objects, such as the LEGO box, or my legs.  He puts his hands on the object, gets on his knees, and enjoys the extra 6 inches of height e gains.

5. Not to leave out Jo, she took a ballpoint pen to her face for the first time.  Two days before school pics.  It washed off.
