Jacob :: 13 Months

• Is almost completely weaned. Thanks to an awesome onset of mastitis, that process is now being expedited (and in fact he was cut off completely yesterday thanks to the antibiotics and infection). It is absolutely heartbreaking to deny him what he wants because I know he doesn't understand. It's also incredible that he is so smart. He will start crying and point to me and to the chair in his room where we spent so many hours hanging out- but then he throws an absolute fit when he doesn't get it. So tiny and yet so manipulative.
• Is in all 2T clothes
• Still has a mean diaper rash (going on a month). What started out as a yeast infection turned into a diaper rash thanks to the chlorine in disposable diapers that we were using because the cream that we were using to treat the yeast infection couldn't be on our cloth diapers. So, now we're onto clean and free disposables because the cloth keeps wet against his skin and isn't allowing the moisture to wick away so he can heal. 
• Basically, life is hard for the little guy right now!
• He is eating much better! Still mostly baby food and we add in table foods as we see fit. The kid can put away 2-3 containers at meal times though (when he's not with me, though- he's holding out)
• Still LOVES being outside- watching birds, cars and now planes. We have a base nearby that has flight paths right over our house; he loves it.
• We now have a spanking spoon. Little dude is going to have to learn that Momma means business when it comes to a few things.
• He has slept "through the night" twice now (and by that I mean from 8pm to 5 am). I was nursing him at that 5 am time and sending him back to bed so I'm not sure what we're going to do about that now. Cry it out? Get up? 
• Napping has become more of a guessing game, but that's partly because my schedule changes as does his sleep at night. If he wakes up early, he'll usually take two good naps. If he sleeps in, sometimes it's just one nap. 
• We have the two bottom middle teeth in. So cute.
• One funny thing he did this month was take his long sleeved shirt off during a nap. I went in to wake him up and it was in the floor. 
• He talks a lot more (mostly babbling) but it's super entertaining and funny.
