Since our last post Jacob has gone back to church once.  The weekend after his first adventure he had a few sniffles and it was raining, so we decided to keep him in.  Last week he loved it again.  It's really nice for us to, because now I an actually pay attention to the message!

Jacob has been doing a lot of falling lately.  He is really starting to run, but leads with his shoulders so when he runs he tends to fall, and it's usually when we are outside on concrete or something hard.  So last week on the way to his playroom at church, he fell and bonked his forehead.  he didn't cry too much, but after church we noticed a nice red spot.  Then on Monday he was playing in the living room tripped over himself (or probably one of his many toys in there) and skidded onto the area rug.  He damaged the SAME SPOT and added a nice rug burn.  Then later that same day he went with daddy to get the mail.  On the way to the mailbox, he got too excited and fell AGAIN!  yep, the SAME SPOT so now he has a nice bruise in the middle of his forehead.  He looks like he went to an Ash Wednesday service and got ashes put on his forehead.  Golly gee...I don't know what we are going to do with him.  Bill suggested making him wear a helmet!  ha, could you imagine that!  I guess there is not much we can do, but to try as best we can to prevent the falls, like that is really possible.

Earlier this week at the park he was sharing one of his toys with another child and instead of giving him the Thomas the train, he THREW the train at the kid and hit him in the head.  Nice one Jacob.  He was trying to be nice and share and he ended up hurting the kid!  I have to help him understand the difference between give and throw.  Lately, he throws everything (especially the food off his high chair tray). 

We started to add regular cow's milk to his soy milk.  I really would rather him drink cows milk instead of the soy milk.  Actually I realized that the soy milk has a lot of estrogen in it.  now I'm not thinking that he's going to be feminine if he drinks the soy, but I really don't want to experiment with that to find out!  So we started with about a tablespoon of cows milk in his sippy.  We are now at about half and half.  He hasn't had too bad of a reaction to the milk so we are hoping that we are getting him used to the cows milk slowly and that the red spots don't come back! 

Last weekend we went to Disneyland twice.  Daddy took Friday off so we went.  Jacob had lots of fun with his daddy.  We had not been to Disneyland as a family in a long time.  Daddy and Jacob went in the petting zoo and Jacob had lots of fun petting the goats.  He LOVED it.  He went from goat to goat petting them.  I thought he would be a little scared, but nope, he had a great time.  Daddy made sure to wash his hands well after that.  Then on Saturday we met Christian and his parents there.  The boys had a blast together.  They are so fun to watch. 

Another took broke through this last week.  It's the tooth just to the right of his front tooth.  I think one of his molars is about to come in because his runny nose is back and his little gums are black and blue in the molar area.  Poor baby (and poor us!).

Tuesday we went to visit Jen and Matt in San Diego.  the boys had not seen each other in a long time.  They did okay with eachother and Matt was really nice about sharing his toys with Jacob.  I was hoping to put Jacob down for a nap there, but that did not happen, but he did sleep almost all the way home.

uh oh, the little one is waking up from his nap so I'll have to update more later
