Another Birthday Party
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:39 PM About Jake
These past few days Jacob has been trying to fight off his runny nose. We thought it was gone, but it returned Thursday morning...maybe he was out too late Halloween night...oops. Lately he seems to be very active in the late afternoon. That is when he is most "talkative" and when he attempts to take his steps. Each day since his "firsts" he has taken at least a couple of steps. Tonight while playing he actually took some steps toward something other than his daddy or me. He is getting really good at keeping his balance too.
So today was the change in time. I usually LOVE this one because we get to sleep an extra hour...well that's all in the past now. Jacob doesn't know about daylight saving time, so instead of waking up at his normal 7am..he woke up at 6, which I expected. He had a busy day today. After church, which he almost lasted through today, he threw a fit but waited until the last couple of minutes, we came home and he took a nap in preparation for the birthday party he was going to later in the afternoon. Jacob and I went to Garrett's birthday party at a kid's gym place. Jacob had a great time. He was playing with a ball, some hula hoops and all the mats. Then they made some a lot of bubbles. I think that was his favorite part. He was trying to catch all the bubbles as the older kids were running all around him. His friend Cooper was there too. He was also having a great time. We actually got the two boys to sit down and take a picture together...AMAZING!!! Of course Jacob was so tired that he slept all the way home...YES!
I thought for sure he would go to sleep early tonight since the change in time, but I think his schedule is all thrown off now. He was playing and talking all the way until almost 8pm...which is really 9pm in his time. I couldn't believe it. At 7pm he was crawling all over the place playing with all his toys. He was making his daddy and me laugh. We were trying to play ball with him, trying to get him to roll the ball to us, but it didn't happen...yet. He did take a few steps in attempt of getting his Mickey ball, one of the steps was even backwards, in attempt of keeping his balance.
He has had sort of like a rash on both of his calves for the past week or so. I think I might call the doctor tomorrow to ask him to take a look at it. At first I thought it was just dry skin, but I've been putting lotion on him and nothing has happened. So we'll call the doctor and see what he says. I also want to ask him about his what I hope is not an allergy to dairy. Every time I've tried giving him dairy products (cheese and yogurt, so far) he breaks out in red spots all around his mouth. I really hope he's not allergic to that stuff...that means no ice cream?!?!? THere is no way my child is going to be allergic to ice cream! We'll just have to see what happens. So until next time...mommy and daddy love yoU!
