Happy birthday to Mommy!

He did make off with my car keys, so I guess he is a slick one after all!

Safe to come out
I admit it, I've been in hiding. The "molar monster" visited our house a couple of weeks ago, and I've been afraid to come out from under the covers. I stuck a toe out this morning, and nothing bit it, so I decided it was safe.
Seriously, the molars haven't been fun. The first one actually popped through the day before his birthday, and he was OK until the day after his birthday. He had a low grade fever for 2 days, and was irritable, tired, and just not himself. I was a little worried about him, but everything I read said that this was normal, and just watch the fever. He had a really tough week, but seemed to be feeling better by Saturday. Grandpa and Grandma B. were visiting, and we decided to go to the state fair since Jacob seemed up for it. WRONG. He was miserable. He wouldn't ride in the stroller or the carrier. He wanted to be carried in Mommy's arms, which I did--but I'll never let him forget how hot and sticky it was that day (and I'm sure when he's older, the story will be that it was 150 degrees and he weighed 40 lbs.). We still found time to try lots of good, greasy fair food. Jacob took some tastes too. He had a mini donut, potatoes with cheese, and ice cream. He loooooves ice cream. Shocking. Anyway, his 2nd molar came in on September 3rd, and I'm on the lookout for the next two. They are definitely on the way. I can't wait.
In more exciting news, Jacob had his 12 month check up and is doing great. He was 31.25 inches tall and weighed 21 lbs. 4 oz. He is low on the curve for his weight, but he has been on the go for 4 months now, and we just can't seem to keep the fat on him! He seems to be taking after his daddy. I can tell that his appetite has increased, and now that he is drinking whole milk, I wouldn't be surprised if his body starts to fill out again. That's the other big news: he is drinking milk! I planned on trying the toddler formula, but he wanted nothing to do with it, even when I mixed it with other things. On a whim, I bought some strawberry milk one day, and we tried that. He liked it. Now, he LOVES it. I haven't tried non-flavored milk with him yet, but for now I'm happy that he's drinking it. Don't tell him, but I have been mixing the formula with his oatmeal. He can tell something is up, but he still eats it. Oh, and just this morning, he had his first bowl of real cereal--Cheerios with milk. He's officially a kid!
