8/7/10 - We took Jesse to Stapps Circle S Ranch in Greensburg to see the tiger cubs Rocky and Jasmin. This was the last week they would be able to be in contact with the public, they are now to old according to government guidelines. He liked feeding the buffalo an ear of corn. He was intrigued by the tigers but wouldn't touch one. I thought their fur would be a lot softer but it was a little course. I really wish that the animals had more room and that their enclosures were made to look like their natural habitat. We were glad to have the opportunity to be that close to the young tigers though. That part was a really neat experience and one we hope Jesse remembers.
7/21/10 - Poor Jesse. He is miserable. We took him to the doctor since he has a fever and blisters in his mouth and throat. He has Hand. Foot, and Mouth. Apparently it is going around an a lot of kids in town have it. We are hoping that it doesn't last long.
7/14/10 - To the zoo again. :) This time we went with Heather and Jonathan, Amy and Addison, and Laura and Nate. It was awfully hot. The thermometer on the stroller said 105 so we decided to head back to the car and go get some lunch in the air conditioning.
6/7/10 - We took the day off and went to the Indianapolis Zoo. It was Jonathan's first trip there. Jesse really liked the giraffes this time.
6/2/10 - He is on a roll with the b words. First it was "ball". He has added "bowl", "boat", and "bubbles". Also if he wants a flower or wants you to draw a flower he will sniff since he has to smell every flower he sees.
06/1/10 - Jesse really likes the bowls that Picoso uses to serve their chips. He kept pointing to the end pieces and saying "ball". After dinner we took him up to IUPUC to see the big globe. He liked the "ball". He also like the "woof woof" flowers. It took us a few minuted to figure out what he was doing. We were showing him the daylillies and he kept saying 'woof". Finally realized that since he couldn't say Lilly and the dogs name is Lilly it would work to say 'woof' for the flowers too.
05/8/10 - We took Jesse up to Cookie Cutters in Greenwood to get his hair cut. We were hoping that there would be enough kid oriented things to keep him entertained. Well, we were wrong. He really really didn't like that. The only good news is that he did get is hair cut and it looks cute. I'll have to get some pictures of his big boy hair cut.
05/4/10 - Jesse was playing with the Purdue Bears and I asked him if he was going to go to Purdue when he got big. He shook his head no. So I asked him if he was going to go to IU. He shook his head no. So I asked him if he was going to go to Embry Riddle. He shook his head no. So I asked him if he was going to go to U of M. He shook his head no. So I asked him if he was going to go to Harvard. He shook his head yes. So I asked him if he was going to be a lawyer. He shook his head no. So I asked him if he was going to go be a doctor. He shook his head yes. Then he started shaking his finger like they do in the song "Mama called the doctor and the doctor said No more monkeys jumping on the bed". So it may just be a coincidence but we thought it was funny that he choose Harvard and a doctor. Who knows........
04/28/10 - Jesse has been coming to the library for story time on Wednesdays. While he is here he takes the tour and visits with everyone. This week he found out he can reach the knobs on the handles to move the shelves in the talking books department. He was really excited and had a great time driving them.
03/30/10 - Jesse is doing great. He had his 18 month checkup today. He really, really didn't like the doctors office but we survived and he only had to have 1 shot today.
03/27/10 - We took Jesse and Jonathan to have Easter pictures taken at A Thosand Words Portraits in Greenwood. The photographers are really nice. Jesse really wasn't sure about the bunny though.
3/13/10 - Hurray! Cousin Jonathan is finally here. See pictures here: http://babyhomepages.net/babyhatton
02/12/10 - Jesse finally decided that walking was ok. He has been cruising for monthes and walks on his knees all the time but after practicing all week he finally decided to take some real steps on his own. Woohoo. He is really proud of himself about it too.
02/1/10 - Jesse's Vocabulary
Words: mom, dad, dog, duck, eat, this, that, na na, whats that, yes, hi, sam, santa
Animal Sounds: rar, woof, ssss,
1/8/10 - Jesse's vocabulary is expanding. Last night he learned how to say the word Yes. He seemed quite pleased with himself. He has also learned "Santa" and recognizes him on everything, albeit about two weeks late :-) He says "No" occasioanly but ony "No nigh nigh" not by itself.
We are also amazed at how well he does associating items. Tuesday I had on a shirt with a buffalo. We had to go around the house so he could point out all of the stuffed buffalo. Then last night we were watching a show about Yellowstone and they showed buffalo. Jesse immediately pointed to the tv and then over at my shirt.
He is also going through a Mickey Mouse phase. I think Brian and I both have the theme of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the Hot Dog Song memorized at this point.
1/2/10 - We just found out that thanks to the JVC Holiday Sweepstakes Jesse's picture was on the JVC screen in Times Square between 12:30 and 1pm on New Years Eve. Pretty neat.
12/30/09 - We survived Jesse's 15 month checkup. He was really not happy. He started crying when the nurse measured him and then it just got worse when the doctor came in. He only had to have 2 shots this time. He is now 30 1/2" inches long and weighs approx 20 lbs 12 oz. He was squirming so much it was hard to tell. His head circumfrance is 50 cm. He has quite a few teeth. He has 8 on the bottom and 5 on the top with another 5 partially in. The doctor thought he looked healthy and was impressed that Jesse loves Japanese food. )His favorite being miso soup and sushi.) The doctor said he really wasn't pushing the H1N1 shot so we decided not to get it since Jesse was already really not happy.
12/25/09 - Merry Christmas. Click here to view our online Christmas Card. http://smilebox.com/playBlog/4d544d354e4441794d6a413d0d0a&blogview=true
12/21/09 - We let Jesse open 2 Christmas presents tonight just so he wasn't quite so overwhelmed on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. He is quite fond of Mickey Mouse right now so he got a p;ush Mickey from the Disney store and Scout the Leapfrog Dog.
12/17/09 12/18/09- Jesse came down with a 24 hour flu bug. Poor thing was miserable all night. Hopefully he gets better before Christmas.
12/08/09 - We found out that Jesse is allergic to shrimp. Luckily it wasn't a big reaction and the benadryl was close by.
12/05/09 - We went to the Creation Museum in Cincinnati today with Nana, Papaw, Aunt Heather, and Uncle Jason. It was way to cold to see the gardens but Jesse was facinated with the dinosaurs. We also got to go to Jungle Jim's. The most entertaining grocery store you will ever see. (http://www.junglejims.com/) If you have never been there is is worth the trip.
12/04/09 - Jesse's milk allergy has continued. He does fine on soy milk so we will stick with that. When he drinks milk he is miserable the next night and for the next 48 hours. He seems to be ok eating cheese or yogurt in small amounts.
10/31/09 - Jesse is a lion for Halloween this year. He has a pretty cute lion roar. I can't believe how different he looks from last year. His outfit last year was a newborn and it was way to big and falling off of him. This year his lion costume was a 12-24 month. Hurray.
10/26/09 - Jesse has a stomach virus. We took him to the ped and they told us just to treat the symptoms and let them know if he gets any worse.
10/17/09 - 10/21/09 - We took a trip to Gatlinburg just to get away for a few days. I'm not sure if Jesse liked the Aquarium the best or the bluegrass music over in the Elks Plaza.
9/28/09 - Jesse had his 1 year appointment. He really wasn't happy with the visit. Poor thing had to have 4 shots. He is doing well and is in the 10th percentile for weight and the 45th percentile for height. The doctor said he is doing well and even though he is a little thin he is not underweight. He goes back in a month for the 2nd part of the flu shot but his next real appointment is December 30th.
9/27/09 - Jesse has 2 more top teeth coming in. Today was Birthday Party day - Pictures - Jesse was a bit overwhelmed with the festivities but had a good time most of the day. He wasn't to sure what to do with all of the presents but he was intrigued once they were unwrapped.
9/26/09 - Happy Birthday Jesse! it is really hard to believe that a year has gone by already. Today was also the Sustainable Living Fair in Columbus. Jesse got to hear Bobbie Lancaster perform and got the opportunity to sit in a winning solar race car from the Purdue Solar Racing Team. That was really neat. He was the hit of the fair of course.
9/3/09 - It is hard to believe that Jesse is almost a year old. We are planning his first birthday party. Time sure does fly. He is teething again. This week has been a bit rough for him.
