The Picarelli Family Grows!: Jacob's 30th Week

Nanny Picarelli was with us again this week, and Jacob loved every minute of it! He seems to be more accepting of other people around, and he doesn't seem quite as dependent on Mommy throughout the day. We talked to Daddy every night before bedtime, and even bought web cams so we could see each other "live time" each night. We had Grandma Brooks and Pops over for Spaghetti Dinner on Wednesday, using Mom Picarelli's homemade sauce and meatball recipe. Was mmmm mmmm good! Jacob came down with a rash that ended up requiring steroid cream to resolve...turns out it was eczema (initially thought it may be ringworm!). Was weighed at the doctor's office and now weighs 18lbs 11oz, 28.5inches long. Jacob has started to feed himself finger foods like cherrios and "puffs", though lots of them end up finding their way to the floor.... another new thing this for Jake this week was to turn and look at you with his head tilted to the side....so cute!
