Jacob gets frustrated with his wubba because when he moves his head, the dog doesn't and the paci falls out of his mouth. So...we tried getting him one of these and he liked it for like...hmm...2 seconds and wouldn't take it anymore. He cried and cried and cried. We decided to give him his wubba back and it soothed him for a very long time. I guess there's nothing like a soothie pacifier. Now, we've got to find some without the plush attached to it...let me know if you know where to find them...

Things have changed a lot since Jacob has been home. We are so happy he is home and jump up at any opportunity to pick him up when he makes a noise or squirms. However, sleep is not a common vocabulary or verb around here anymore...he likes to be awake in the early morning when we're both totally wiped out...he likes to be cradled and held ALL of the time! It's a habit we started and we are paying for it right now. We don't mind it so much during the day when we're super energetic and wide awake, but at night...it's different story! We don't know how to transition him to stay awake during the day and sleep at night...is it too early to do that? I'm worried about the stress that would put on him...well...I think we're allowed to spoil him for quite some time right?? even though that would mean sacrifices (sleep deprivation) on our part...I mean...we did wait for a VERY long time for him to arrive...hehee

I've also realized that a hot meal was a luxury before he came home. That's no longer the case. It seems as if when we're ready to eat, he'll need our attention. I've learned how to make 10-20 minute meals so I don't spend a lot of time away from him. Showers and baths are shortened...shopping excursions are limited and baby lullabies have become our choice of music.
