Yesterday Jacob went to see Dr. Gladstein for his one year check up.  He weighed in at 22lbs 3 ounces and measured in at 30 1/2 inches long.  He is in the 45th and 75th percentiles, respectively.  The doctor checked him out and everything looked great. He gave us the go ahead to put him on whole cows milk despite his reaction to cheese and yogurt.  We will actually start with the milk tomorrow morning.  This evening he had a scrambled egg and vegetables for dinner.  This was his first go at eggs and he seemed to like them. 

I was getting stuff ready for his birthday party next weekend and he was playing with one of the toys that will go in some of the goodie bags.  It was a little car and when he was moving it on the chair he was making his version of car sounds, it was so cute.  Daddy got it on video so he can see it later.  He is also getting good at showing us where his ears are.  THe other day I saw him covering his ears so I asked him where his ears were and he covered his ears again.  He thinks it's funny to do that so everytime we ask where are your ears, he holds his hands over his ears and starts to laugh.  When asked "where's your nose" he touches my nose instead of his.  I keep trying to have him touch his own nose, but he thinks it's much more fun to touch my nose.  He was also very loving today and gave me LOTS of wet kisses...I loved every one of them.

Thursday night, the night before his dr. appointment, he woke up at midnight screaming at the top of his lungs.  Nothing Bill or I did seemed to calm him down. Finally after about 15-20 minutes of the shrieking cry, Bill layed him down on the floor.  After a couple of seconds he sat up and started to look around and wasn't crying as hard.  So I picked him up and I was able to calm him down finally.  We think it was a night terror.  It was seriously one of the most horrible things we've experienced with him thus far.  I felt so bad for him that he just would not be soothed by either of us.  Poor baby, I hope he doesn't get one of those again.

Alright, time for bed...so until next time....mommy and daddy love you!
