Lots of first's ...

1st Halloween -- So Jacob celebrated his 1st Halloween and I must say it was kinda fun, not as much fun as it will be when he actually knows what is going on but I took him visiting to a few places close by (My Dad's work and the Grandparents) and by the time we got home I think he already had enough of his costume! But we needed milk so I walked to the store with Jacob and the dog all in costume!! It was fun!

1st Sleep over!! -- Jacob also had his first sleep over at my in laws! We had a banquet to attend for the race track and every time I thought of Jacob I had a drink!! I ended up having 4 wines which really isn't too bad in 10 hours!! But the 4 wines were enough to make me a little tipsy, I don't think I've had a drink since I found out I was pregnant so that would make it a year ago!! We had a good time at the banquet and I'm sure Jacob didn't even really know the difference, except apparently he didn't have a very good time at bath time? I'm not sure if it was the sleep over or the day light savings time but the next day was a little tricky with naps and bedtime?! I think sometimes my FIL gets too excited and almost over stimulates Jacob, he didn't eat half as much as I thought he would at the sleep over and I'm not sure if that was because my FIL kept him so occupied that he never thought about food or if he just wasn't hungry? I do know for sure that he is definitely going to be a kid that won't be able to have a bowel movement unless he is at home cause he never went the whole time he was away but as soon as we walked in the door it was like he knew and went ... a few times! ;)

The last 1st Jacob had this month is his ....

1st diaper rash !! -- Yup - it sucks, it's not too bad but I still feel bad for the little guy. I'm sure it must be uncomfortable?! I'm actually thinking it is from swimming cause that is when it started, and I'm not too sure if it is from his swimming shorts or the chlorine in the water? Every time after swimming I would notice his diaper area would have little red dots and every time it gets worse so now I'm a little paranoid about going tomorrow cause what if it gets even more worse ?? I'm going to put some Vaseline on his diaper area to try and help prevent it from getting worse and I'm kinda thinking that it might be his swim shorts cause if it was the water he would have a rash all over not just in that area? But of course today I went to Walmart and thought I would try to find him a new swim suit but they are not in season so all I could find were winter mitts! There is only 2 weeks left of swimming anyway so I don't want to spend too much on swim gear that he will grow out of in a matter of weeks but if the rash gets worse tomorrow then I don't think I have much of a choice to search for a new suit!?

Tomorrow is a busy day for us, swimming in the morning then the "Mom's group" wants to meet again (I think this is going to be a regular Tues afternoon thing - which is nice) and tomorrow is 10% Tuesday at the grocery store so I will be leaving Jacob with Dad after supper and I will go shopping! I will also be leaving Jacob with Dad on Wed. night (which I also think is going to be a regular outing) so that I can get out and go to my girlfriends for a visit! Last time I left Jacob alone apparently all he did was cry so I think it will be good for him too - he is starting to turn into a "mommas boy" (which is cute now but when he's 20 it's kinda weird?) so I would like him to bond with his Dad a little! Then Thurs is swimming again and Friday will probably be movie night at my hubbies "new friends" house (it is in quotations for a reason that I would rather not mention right now - but some of you already know what that's about). Hubby told me today after I almost cut my leg on the washing machine door that on Sat he would be working on the basement and will move my washing machine into the laundry room!!! WOOT WOOT!! But we'll see if that really happens?! ;)
