Yes! The answer is yes!

Yes, Jacob is doing well but he's also been very fussy.  Turns out he has thrush, which I think is a yeast infection.  It's on his bottom lip a little and his butt a lot.  He started prescription diaper cream yesterday and now it's worse.  Hopefully tomorrow it will be better along with his fussy behavior.

Yes, Jacob is still tip toeing around but I do see progress.  We've been working hard every day and he can now stand with help for close to a minute while playing on flat feet.  Of course the second I let go or he gets excited enough... tip toes return.

Yes, Jacob is a big boy!  He weighed in at 28 pounds 12 ounces.  But that's 2 ounces less than two weeks ago and puts him at the 90th percentile.  He was 32 inches tall and at the 75th percentile.  Dr. Wood said he could switch to 1% or 2% milk and try peanut butter.  He got his hepatitis shot and will go back next week for the MMR shot.  Yuck, I hate shots.

Yes, this has been the worst year at work ever.  I hope it gets better but I'm doubtful. I just want it to be over.

YES, WE ARE GOING TO MAUI!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's June 9!  My baby turned 15 months old yesterday!  And I have 5.5 days of school, plus 2 days of a class, left before summer vacation begins... a week from Friday... if I can just make it! 

Well our never ending debate about Maui continues.  Right now were contemplating taking two days to travel out to break up the 24+ hour day it takes to get there.  If we go straight to Maui, we have to get up at 2am, leave Burlington at 6am, arrive in Maui at 2pm (which is 8pm East Coast time), and then are up until 9pm (3am to our bodies)... all with a 16 month old!  We could leave Burlington at a more decent time, stop in CA for the night and then go to Maui the next day.  It would cost more, of course, but might be a little easier on us all.  Why do we seem to over think everything?!

Jacob is amazing!  Although he's had some tough days/nights lately, he seems to be back to himself.  He's up to 16 teeth, is cruising around (still on his tip toes), makes kissing sounds now, and is into everything!  He's very adament about what he wants and throws a little temper tantrum when he can't have what he wants... I'm afraid it's just a taste of what's to come!  I hear someone shaking their crib- gotta go!  :-)

Jacob is still asleep, it's been 2.5 hours, so I've got a few minutes to update the blog, after much neglect.  Jacob's now 14 1/2 months old and on the go, crawling anyway.  He pulls himself up on everything and cruises a little.  He is still on his tip toes, which concerns me a little, but will stand flat footed briefly when I work with him on it.  He's babbling constantly, and sort of saying mama, dada, hi, bye, all done, up, and truck.  He doesn't use them consistently, along with his wave, but I'm giving him credit for them!  And sometimes I think he says dog.  His cuspid teeth are coming in, for a grand total of 14, with 2 more visible just below the gum.  He was up at 4:30 this morning, and not too happy, so I think they are bothering him some.  But generally he's a very happy boy.  He is sleeping well, except for the other night when he got up at 3:30!!  He's usually in bed between 7:30 and 8:30, up around 6 or 7, and takes a 3 hour nap after lunch.  Now that it's finally warmed up, we've got his pool and water table out, which he absolutely loves to play in.  He's such a water baby!  I can't wait to bring him to the beach this summer.  Which leads to our yearly debate... do we go or not?  Ted is worried about the flight.  I'm really not.  We'll get through it.  And it will be someplace new to Jacob so I don't think it will be that bad.  Maybe it's just the optimist in me coming out!

Good thing Jacob's wearing his hat and shirt... wouldn't want to get sunburned!!

Poor Pili, she can't even get a drink of water any more!

Look Mama, no hands!

Trouble!
