PARTY!

The party was great, we had lots of family and friends show up - about 40 adults and 10 kids! It was kinda a ruff day for Jacob, he decided it would be a good no nap day so I felt rushed to get through everything before he had a meltdown! Thankfully he never really did have a meltdown but just didn't want to sit still and seemed a little cranky. He got so spoiled (as expected), he got lots of clothes, toys and money! Most of the clothes I will have to return cause they are 18 month size and that is what he is in right now and some of the toys were duplicates so I think I will be busy this week end exchanging everything. He really got into his cake this time and was very messy - it was fun to watch him get right into it!

Now that his party is over I get to know what a "normal" week is like and so far I kinda like it! So far most days I leave before he is even up and then when I get home I make dinner, give him a bath, play for a bit and put him to bed. I love the way he runs to me when I get home and gives me big hugs! I do miss not being able to go for coffee with the other Moms and socializing Jacob around other kids (which I think has helped in his development).

Yesterday Jacob had his 1yr shots, one in each arm and one in the leg! He did good, the nurse asked a million questions but I guess that is her job. Hubby had to deal with him after cause I went to work but he said Jacob didn't seem out of the ordinary at all. Of course he got weighed and measured and hasn't gained a pound since last month but grew in length (I'm not worried, he's still a big boy and on track with his graph). So Jacob weighed in at 24lbs and was 30.5" - not too much is new this month, he is trying to say more words and his walking is much better. He squats to sit now instead of just falling on his butt. He can feed himself with a spoon and enjoys "scooping" his food. He usually listens to commands like "come here" and "can I have...", His temper is starting to show more and his personality is coming out, he seems to know what he wants and shakes his head "no" when he doesn't want it. Still only has 6 teeth but I'm sure his molars are on their way.
