How things change! Jakob is into: rolling over (onto his back from his belly, not yet onto his belly from his back); sitting (wobbling a bit and often falling over again - he isn’t sitting himself up yet); eating solid foods (like carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, and pears - as you’ll see from the pictures, he hasn’t learned table manners or neatness); teething (random pain and crying, often at night - restless sleep for everyone); sleeping through the night sometimes (unless there’s teething pain); being flipped over (this is our special game and he loves it).

Back in January, Dorota and I went to Northern California for 10 days to celebrate her birthday and the honeymoon we never had when we were married last year. We were in SF/Oakland with old friends of mine, Napa Valley drinking wine, Palo Alto visiting an old friend of Dorota’s, and then driving the Pacific Coast Highway to stay in Gualala and hang out in Mendocino. Even though it was cold and wet for most of the trip, we had a great time away from NYC (including particularly fantastic meals at St. Orres Bed & Breakfast and Greystone, the Culinary Institute of America restaurant in St. Helena).
