thoughts about a sick baby

it's no fun. Enough said.

I hope it's only teething.....

So we had a really rough weekend. The poor little guy was just miserable Saturday morning. Nothing seemed to make him happy and trying to get him to take a nap so that he would feel better was nearly impossible. But by the evening he seemed to be doing better. I am really hoping that this sickness is the cause of teething and nothing more serious. I do worry about him though. Poor little guy. Good thing we already have a doctors appointment for this afternoon.

Jacoby's first halloween!!!

So I can't believe that Jacoby's first halloween came and went already! It was quite the weekend event. The day before Halloween he came trick or treating and spent a couple of hours with me at work that was fun and he collected tons of candy that unfortunatly since he has no teeth as of yet I had to eat for him. Then that evening we went to a little carnival of sorts that was held in my parents neighborhood and that was fun but it was more for me I think that it was for him the little guy actually slept through the whole event! Even though he was all in costume and all cutified. Yep cutified. (He was a giraffe that day ).

Then on Halloween itself we had quite the day we went to lunch with my grandma and then we came home and started to get ready for the night. We this year only went trick or treating to my Uncle Dwight and Aunt Nada's house. ( due to special circumstances a beloved pet was put down to rest and then the grandparents were in Cali ). Then we went to Frieda's house gathered up all the troops and headed out to go trick or treating. We went to Friedas sisters house and then up my old street and then around my old neighborhood for a bit. He was a good boy and was so excited to be out and about and enjoying himself. Then later that evening we went and hung out and ate pizza. It was all in all a good Halloween and the best part the weather was beyond fantastic and agreeable! I can only hope that it's that great next year when Jacoby is more able to appreciate the fun of Halloween!

First earache.

So I took Jacoby to the peditrician yesterday cause he had been coughing for over a week which had me a little worried. They didn't measure his height but he is now 15lbs 2 oz. He has gained over 10lbs since being born way to go little man!
Everything looked good and he sounds good I was honestly worried that he might have RSV or something like that but he has a upper respitory infection and an earache so he is now on antibiotics for that. He doesn't seem to mind his new meds in fact I honestly think that he kind of likes them! I would have never suspected that though. He didn't really act like he felt horribly or anything like that he was still his happy little go lucky self.

and we have takeoff!

So it's been about a week now since Jacoby finally started rolling over. He had been trying for so long but just couldnt' figure out what to do with his arm and then it finally happened.... I have learned 1 thing about this little man when he does something he does it big. Once he figured out how to get over it was on after that. He went back to belly first and then belly to back and now every chance he gets of course he rolls over. He likes to show off his new trick and does it right away. ( About the only thing he does when you want him too lol ).
He has also learned lately that he has a voice... and loves to shriek. He now even holds conversations with his duck that he has on his carseat. It's the cutest thing ever.
So he has been eating babyfood for over a month now alot I still make myself like for example he had bananas and mangos last night for dinner and the other day he had avacado and banana. Somethings I do get in jars though just because it's easier should we happen to be out and about. I have found a few things that he really loves. He adores greenbeans & peas. Is warming up to sweet potatos ( does better with the homemade ones then the jars ) loves bananas- However the first time he had them he was less then impressed so now he usually eats those fresh just mashed. It honestly amazes me how grown up already he is and how he isn't my tiny little baby anymore. He is at such a fun age but it makes me sad that he is growing up so fast!

October

I honestly love the month of October and not just because it's my birthday however that is a big factor. But, because I love Halloween and the fall leaves ( I could however do without the cool weather I think that like 80 during the day and maybe 55-60 at night would be perfec if not warmer sometimes ). But I love the pumpkins decorations and Haunted houses. I can't honestly wait til Jacoby is old enough to truly enjoy those things but I figure at 5 months he isn't over enthusiastic about it but- he does love being around other people so that works for me. He is quite the social baby. Handsome too. I am hoping that we are able to make it to a pumpkin patch this weekend I think that would be a great tradition for him and I to do as he gets older. That among other things. Oh and for the record this past weekend he went on his first merry go round ride.
