So last Wednesday Jacob turned 9mths old. I can not believe it has been that long already. It just feels like yesterday I was throwing up everyday and anticipating the little one in my tummy. Anyways, we have a growing boy, meeting all his developmental milestones. He is now 21 lbs 4 oz, and 29 3/4 inches long. The doctor was proud of him and stated he is doing really well. He has had a runny nose for a little while and a cough. I had thought it was just teething but it hasn't gone away. He hasn't had a fever or anything, but I asked the pediatrician about it. She felt it could be teething but tis the season for colds and sinus infections, so she started him on antibiotics just in case. He loves the amoxicillin (which I use to call bubble gum medicine).
Jacob is starting to wave, by and hello, and loves to bang on things. With that we have channeled him into giving fives. He loves it. The other day I was getting ready for work and Michael walked in and he waved Hi, then when Michael picked him up he turned and waved bye to me. It was so cute. It is kinda sad though, that he realizes (or so it seems) that when daddy comes home, it is mommy's time to leave.
I had to tear up a little bit last night as I was putting away his 3-6mth and even some 6-9 mth clothes away. He is growing so fast. Oh but how much fun he is now.
