It's been a busy couple of days, but here is the latest update!
Jacob is a little off schedule on his well baby check ups. He had his "12 Month" last Thursday and it did NOT go well. Jacob HATES the doctor's office (and the doctor) and is NOT afraid to let anyone know. He does fine in the waiting room, but as soon as we get back to the exam room, he cries and screams. I'm sure our doctor thinks we have this terrible child. I was slightly irritated with the office though, because I learned that they somehow forgot to give Jacob his polio vaccination at his 6 month appointment. I think that is strange, because I always remember him getting 3 shots at each appointment, but the doctor said they record it in 3 places to ensure that their records are correct and it wasn't record in any of their 3 places (or my record book), and he assured me that if he DID get it, that getting it again wouldn't be harmful. Anyways... other than that, things went well. Doc said Jacob needs to lose the bottle. We are pretty relaxed about that... maybe we will try to get rid of it before his next appointment in December. He said his motor skills are advanced, but he is behind in his speech - but that most kids excel in one area, then catch up, so he's not concerned. He said Jacob should know 5 words right now and be able to use them right (ie - not calling the car "Kitty"). We are working on that, big time, because I HATE that Jacob just screams whenever he wants something. And as far as his stats, he is measuring the same place as his 9 month: 90% for head, 50% height and 10% for weight. The only measurement I remember was weight, he is now 20lbs 9oz.
Other than that, not too much new. I'm hosting a bachelorette party for Debby this weekend with my friend Kim at my mom's place (Thanks, mom!) - should be a great time. We rented a limo and are going wine tasting! And we have made a game just for Debby that I can't wait to play. I got the idea from Lisa's bachelorette party and it was a blast then, so I'm sure it will be on Saturday too!
Oh- here are some recent pictures. One showing off Jacob's "pointing" skills and then the others are from The Beach Bums baseball game (my boss gave us some GREAT tickets to a minor league team - Jacob did great!)
Have a good weekend!

Hey girl! Jacob's first baseball game! Cool! Sorry he had such a time at his check up :-( Poor guy. You know, I've never had a doc say my child *should* be saying so many words by such-and-such time - ever. DON'T worry about it! He'll pick it up when he's ready. Relax! You guys are great parents so keep it up!! Btw, Connor sleeps thru the night already! LOL I say already because none of the others have until 18 mos ;-) Woohoo on a full night of sleep, IF I can get myself off the puter at a decent hour. Will you get to see my mom before she leaves the northern country? And does anybody have little Noah pics?? I'd love to see some new ones. Oh, and just one more question ;-) When is Natalie due?
Hi! Ah... looks like you guys have had all kinds of fun lately. Well, I can hardly wait until this weekend when we get to hang out together. See you soon!
OOPS! that was from me, Jeanine. :)
