babysitting jacob

tonight was the fist real babysitting i've done for my nephew jacob. i say real babysitting because i actually did something besides just watch him sleep.

when liz brought him over he played on the kitchen floor sucking on his toys. he entertained himself by making motorboat noises. then i fed him his bottle which he went after like he hadn't eaten for days. as he was eating he put himself to sleep which lasted about 15 minutes. then it was off to the bath tub which he loved. i think he's going to take after his aunt and become an all american swimmer. by the time i got him out of the tub and into his pj's liz was back. it was pretty easy, i got lucky this time. he got to ear infections about three days ago so i was expecting him to be a little grumpy.

it was fun watching him figure out the new place he was in. he is 8 months now and he can stand up when he holds on to your fingers and he scoots forward on his butt. he is such a happy kid! it was so fun hanging out with him!

here are some pictures of our night

He is SO CUTE! I can't believe all that hair!! He has way more than Jos. You are lucky to live by your sweet nephew and get to see him a lot! I miss my nieces and nephews so much.

What a lucky little man to have such a good aunt! Call me crazy, but he totally looks like Marty to me. Do you think so? Oh, and LOVE the pj's!
