It's been awhile

As you can see from the pics below there's a lot that has been going on. Well maybe you can't tell, but I'll explain what's been happening in our lives lately. Enjoy the new pictures and I have a new video that I'll be uploading soon. It's so cute. Jacob is adorable.

So finally I did it. I tried the cloth diapers that we had purchased and I was so excited to use. I have mixed feelings right now, but I'll definitely continue to use what we've purchased so far.The first kind I tried was the Bum Genious. When I picked him up after his nap, I discovered the diaper had leaked. No biggie, since I'm new to the deal, maybe it was something I did wrong. I was ready to try another one out and while he was in the buff he decided to let loose. All over me, all over the changing mat and the rug. It caught me by surprise and in my exhausted stupor I made the situation worse. Thank goodness Daddy saved the day. He walked in the door to see his precious son and tired wife covered in crap. Brian suggested we maybe try again another day. After a few days I decided to brave it again and we successfully used 3 more with only 1 leaking. So I am making progress. In the picture below Jacob is wearing a dark blue Fuzzi Bunz.

We took him to Grandma K's house and I couldn't resist taking the picture of the two of them together with his Munchkin hat that Aunt Linda gave him. (Thank you Aunt Linda). He's so stinkin cute.

Jacob celebrated his 1st Thanksgiving Day. We watched the Macy's Parade together and then had dinner with Grandma & Grandpa S. My parents came later for dessert. It was a great day except Jacob didn't nap well and was extremely fussy after everyone left.

In other related news, he survived his 2 mos shots. He cried when the doctor gave him the first two but it took him a little bit for him to realize what happened and then he started wailing. Brian says it couldn't have been that bad because Jacob cries louder than that when he's hungry. hahaha. However, it brought tears to my eyes because I don't like to hear him cry when he's hurting. He stopped crying and then started up again when they gave him the 3rd one. But everything was all good once mommy picked him up and cuddled with him. We didn't have any problems for the rest of the day either. Phewww!!!

Stats: He currently weighs 12.5 lbs and is 23 inches. Doctor said everything is looking good.
