Bill and Miss (and Jacob too) Welcome to our Blog

Well, it had to happen one day.  Jacob is sick.  The fever was up and down all day Monday and then it finally broke Tuesday morning.  We've stayed in all week (the weather has been pretty gloomy) in hopes that Jacob did't really get too sick.  He was coughing just a little during the week, but nothing major.  Today he started coughing and I could hear that there is some stuff in there that needs to come out.  He even broke a blood vessel in his right eye, probably from coughing.  Poor baby, he's never had a cough before and his little eye just can't handle it.  I did end up calling the doctor this afternoon to get some advice on how to make him feel more comfortable.  The nurse suggested putting a humidifier in his room, so of course once daddy got home from work, there I was at the store buying on (I also bought him a toy since he is not feeling well...this kid is spoiled).  I could tell that today he was not feeling well because he was not as playful as he usually is.  he was very clingy to me today and took three naps instead of his usual two.  He didn't have much of an apetite either in the afternoon and evening and he didn't fuss that much when I was changing his diaper, I say that much because this morning he had a poopy diaper and was squirming so much that he got it all over his leg and his sleeper...yuck!!  I hope he is feeling better soon.  I hate to hear him cough and there is nothing I can do.  I wish I could stick a tube down there and suck all the yucky stuff out without it hurting him.  Since I can't do that, all I can do is pray that he gets over this cough quickly so he can go back to being himself.

Now some fun stuff.  Lately he's been sticking out his tounge when he is playing.  It looks so cute.  Sometimes when he has his pacifier in in the morning and I go into his room when he wakes up, he'll take his pacifier out and start sticking out his tounge and moving it around.  So funny.  He also loves to play "I'm going to get you" either Bill or I will get on our hands and knees and "chase" him around the house.  He will crawl away from us really fast and then stop adn turn to look at us, then we say  "I'm gonna get you" and act like we are going to get him and he turns around so fast and starts crawling away.  He is so funny.  I like to play that game when he is climbing the stairs and he's taking too long and I want to get upstairs to get something done.  He will sometimes stop and turn around to make sure I am there and all I have to say is "I'm gonna" and he turns around and takes off up the stairs.  We've also discovered he loves chicken (partially because that is what we eat a lot) but he really likes it, that and his bread.  I think he might be allergic to cheese.  I've given it to him several times but the last two times he's had it a rash has developed around his mouth.  I really hope he's not allergic to milk or anything like that...that will stink...how can my son not like cheese!?!?

Alright, it's getting late and I need to get my rest to be able to take care of you tomorrow...so until next time...Mommy and Daddy love you!
