Fish, Bookworms and Swing

Saturday night Alan, my dad and brothers went on a twilight deep sea fishing trip. They came home with 4 sea bass which was a bit of a disappointment considering that the trip they went on three years ago yielded a lot more. Then they caught a whole mess of barracuda and Alan caught a 32 lb hailbut. I was expecting to have to clear out space in the freezer, but that was certainly not necessary. They still had a fun time and that is what really matters, right??

On Sunday we grilled them at my parents' and gave Jacob a taste.
This was his initial reaction

He did end up liking it and was reaching for the bowl to get more.

My parents bought Jacob a swing to use at their house. He loved it!

This morning Jacob and I met my friend Cecilia and her girls at the new Highland library for their Bookworm Babies story/activity time. It was pretty cute. We start out by introducing ourselves and after the mommy says the baby's name everyone says, 'Hello' to the baby. When they said 'Hello, Jacob' he put up his hand like he was waving. I am sure it was unintentional, but it was cute! Then we sing a few songs (even some in Spanish), followed by a couple stories. Jacob was surprisingly attentive during the stories. When I try to read him a book, he just tries to grab it and eat it. I guess since the lady reading the book was farther away, the temptation to grab the book wasn't there. At the end they have playtime and he had a blast playing with the toys and other kids. I think we'll go back next week.
