The crying game...

Well today was a pretty good day until tonight. Jacob was very very tired & just did not want to go to sleep. We tried everything... Rocking, walking, shimmy, shake EVERYTHING... once you would put him down he would cry. He did not want Michael. He wanted me... to hold him. Not to sleep but to just hold him so I did. But anytime he would start to sleep I would lay him down and the tears would flow and would cry so hard he was making himself cough. So mommy held him and calmed him down. We really do not want to start a bad habit by him thinking if he cries he will be held constantly. So if anyone has any tips...just in case we need them... greatly appreciate it!Anyway so I gave him a bath which normally calms him as well. Then we played watch mommy chase Jacob across the floor to put his clothes on while daddy & him giggled. Little stinkers!

Finally him & daddy were down on floor playing... So I could eat my cold dinner and get a hot bath. When I came down at 9:45 he was sound a sleep on daddy. Thank god! I felt so bad he was just so tired & just would not give in earlier.

Well Simon(dog) is adjusting well to the baby...especially since he has realized that he can clean up after Jacob if baby food is dropped. So far he likes bananas and sweet potatoes. (both Jacob & Simon) When I got home today from grandma & pap's Simon was so excited we were home he ran right up kissed my hand then gave Jacob a big lick on the forehead. Part of me was like yuck but the other part of me thought it was another way of him showing he excepts him... And actually missed him.

Well I am ready to fall asleep on the keyboard here so I better go catch some Z's
