Well, it's been another whirlwind week for us. Jake and I left PA Sunday, spent the night in a hotel and returned to Cincy Monday afternoon. I worked my usual 13 hours on Tuesday and by Wednesday Jake was really sick with an ear infection. The ped was amazed that a preemie went 21 months without needing antibiotics post-hospitalization.
I worked 12 hours on Thursday and Friday got about 5 inches chopped off my hair. Check out my new do!
On Saturday, Jake turned 21 months! We celebrated by resting and recuperating.
Finally, we made our first trip of the season to King's Island today. I'm not sure how Jake is going to like the rides this year, but we got on the LazyTown Sports Copters and the Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion. Greg rode the Beast while Jake and I searched for soda machines to "push buttons" (his latest obsession).
Jake continues to enjoy clocks, doors, phones, remotes and of course, buttons. He likes music, too. He sings several songs. He has learned songs at Kindermusik, on TV and songs that we just make up. He likes to watch videos on YouTube and look at his pictures on the blog. He will point at the computer and say "Jakey" to look at his picture or "Wiggles" or "Gabba" to watch Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba videos.
This will probably be my last post for a while. I'm headed off to Vermont on Tuesday for school. Nana is flying in to the rescue to watch Jake while I'm gone. This is a bittersweet occasion for me - I'm looking forward to some adult time, eating ethnic foods (which we have so little of in Cincy), sleeping without waking up and looking at a monitor, not having to yell at Leeza and learning new things. But, this is the first night I will spend away from Jake since he came home from the hospital :( I'm going to miss Jake and Greg terribly!!! I'm going to install my new videocam on the laptop tonight.
