New Toy Box

Poppy came over last night to have dinner with us and bring over Jacob's birthday present. Thanks Poppy for the great Toy Box. We love it.

Jacob seemed to have a stomach bug- he threw up for poppy on his high chair then after Poppy left he proceeded to puke all over himself, me and the couch. So Poppy came over and watched him for most of the day so I could work. I couldn't exactly do a video conference with Jacob in the background! Thanks for helping out Poppy!!

Jacob seems to be feeling much better today!!

ENT

We went to see the ENT today about Jacob's ears. He has had 6 ear infections in 6 months. It is time for tubes. December 24th. She wanted to do it sooner so he does not get another infection between now and then but I don't want to do it while Matt is in Atlanta so she said we could wait until he is home for Christmas.

Moving & Ears

We have gotten moved into the new house!! The movers delivered the furniture on Monday and it is so nice to be able to sleep in our beds again!! Jacob came over to the empty house on Sunday so he could check out his new bathroom and his room. We decorated his bathroom in a Monkey theme!! He loves it!!



He crawled around his empty bedroom. It is HUGE compared to the last house!!



He even checked out the closest!!

Monday should have been his first day at the new sitters but when we picked up Jacob from his grandmother on Sunday he seemed to be not feeling very well and then we were up all night on Sunday night. So we went to Urgent Care on Monday morning and he has another ear infection (different ear from 3 weeks ago) We started on the Antibotics yesterday. Last night was another rough night but am hopeful that tonight is much better b/c I am worn out!!

We did go to the new sitters today and she is wonderful!!! Jacob had a great 1st day and didn't even cry when I left. I think he is really going to be happy at the new sitters although I'm sure he will miss his old friends!!

Bite Marks

Jacob fell today at the sitters and he was upset. He was sitting on the sitters lap and a little girl who is about 18 months came over and said "I give him hug & kiss" so it was honest enough and the sitter didn't think much about it. She gave him a hug then planted one on his cheek. He didn't scream only made a whimper to clue in the sitter that the little girl had her teeth clinched into the side of his face. It didn't even seem to phase him. The sitter felt horrible and was apologizing as soon as I walked in the door.

See the teeth marks on his face.. Can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow!!


Since daddy had a dinner for work tonight... we had pizza. Jacob loved it!!

1 year old check up

Jacob had his 1 year old check up yesterday. It was scheduled for last week but with him being sick the doctor wanted to wait until yesterday.

Weight- 20 lbs 12 oz
Height- 29.9 inches
Head- 19 inches

50th percentile in all areas.

He received 5 shots including the flu vaccine. We didn't get the HIB shot due to a national shortage and will have to make that one up.

Jacob also got Labs for a CBC and Lead and hopefully those will come out fine!

His ear was still not 100% but it should continue to heal and his throat was still irritated but his eating habits have picked up so she was not worried. She wants us to have his ear checked in 30 days once we are in Charlotte and discuss with our new doctor about a referral to an ENT due to 5 ear infections in 5 months.

Cake

Jacob getting in the highchair ready for some cake!!


Jacob's cakes- Yes, I make them both- YES I know the bear one is MUCH better!!



Trying to blow out my candle



UM... what do I do now?


I'm supposed to touch this thing? (This was a close as he came to the cake)



I don't think so... Mommy get me out of here!!


We are going to let him try again tomorrow to see if he wants any... He did have one bite of my piece of the other cake!

More Birthday...
