Going Good

Just thought I would post a quick update. Everything is going good over here. Jacob had his nine month check up and he has gained 5 pounds since we have been home. I can't believe how fast he is developing and changing! He has 2 bottom teeth in and 2 top teeth starting to cut through. And he is extremely interested in our food. Whenever he sees a plate, he gets super excited. So we share what we can and he LOVES it!
Attila Is putting out lots of applications. Hopefully he will find something soon. Anyway, I guess that's it for now.

Back to work

Tomorrow is my first day back at work. Those 12 weeks went by so fast. I can't believe it! Before I took my leave, I work the night shift which I loved. But when a day shift position became available, I put in for it not thinking I would get it and I did!. Even thought I like nights and I am not at all a morning person, this will work out a lot better with a baby at home. And, seeing I work 3 12 hour shifts a week and every third weekend, we only need help with babysitting 2 days a week for 2 weeks and 3 days the other. (Attila only works Monday through Friday....lucky bum!) The other good thing id we don't have to use daycare. My parents are going to watch Jacob for us!! That makes me happy. I am going to miss him though. I haven't been away from him longer than enough time for Attila and I to go out to eat. 12 hours will be a big jump!!!!

First Word

Jacob said his first word last week!!! It was mama!! I was so excited. And yesterday he started saying dada! Before we know it, he is going to be speaking full sentences. And today he he sat up by himself for the first time. Usually we have to sit him up. He is making great progress! This is so exciting!!!!

Update

It's been awhile since I've posted. I thought I better get in a quick update. We are all doing well here. Jacob is adjusting very well. He is eating baby food along with his formula now. Actually, it's kind of hit and miss with it. Some days he eats and eats and other days, he only wants a few bites. Either way, he's getting enough because he is growing like a weed. He is around 20 pounds already! He is sitting up well now and I think he will be crawling soon! He mostly scoots backward and if he really wants to get somewhere, he rolls. But, I have been noticing that he is now getting up onto all fours and rocking back and forth. Soon, he will be getting into everything as he is very curious.....which is a good thing. I am not looking forward to going back to work. My leave is done September 7. It's going to be very hard to leave him. I have not been away from him for more than enough time to go out for dinner. And then he was with grandpa and grandma. I still don't know what we are going to do for day care. I better get on that!

Better

Things are going really well now that Jacob is over his pneumonia. He is such a happy, content baby. We are working on eating cereal and sweet potatoes. He doesn't seem to really like the idea of eating off a spoon. The first time we tried, he would open his mouth for the spoon. Now he closes it. Oh well, eventually he will catch on. He is gaining weight though and he is starting to sit up without support. Plus, last night, he went to sleep around 10:15 and didn't wake up until 7:30 to eat!! It was his first night sleeping all the way through. And even after that, when he was changed and done with his bottle, he went back to sleep until almost 10:00. I think we are officially on Michigan time. :-)

4th of July

For the 4th, we went over to my sisters house and cooked out. We had a great time!!! Jacob enjoyed himself also on his first holiday home with his family.

Home

We have been home for a few days now and everything is going well. Jacob has has pneumonia but he seems to be feeling better now. His breathing is definately much better. It is so nice to be home. The trip was great and we learned a lot. I'm really glad we had the opportunity to go, but there truly is no place like home. Small things like being able to rinse your tooth brush in the sink and watching baseball.
Anyway, No matter what, the trip was totally worth it. We came home with our son. He is awesome! I still can't believe that he is finally home. It just seems to good to be true. And now, we have all the time in the world to shower him with love!
