Home for three months!

Bath-time is so cute. Molly has to be in the room too. Jacob and Molly get along really well. Except Molly does not like to have her tail pulled and she lets Jacob know that. The first time I gave Jacob a bath was in Kaliningrad after the driver dropped us off at the hotel. It was 90+ (HOT) in our room. The Moscow Hotel did not have air conditioning. Jennifer and I made sure the water was perfect and that we had a few toys. I placed him in the tub and he just sat quietly staring at the tiles. Made me a bit nervous. I had forewarned Jennifer that he may cry and could have a fit. Poor guy, now that I think about that day it seems he was in shock. We quickly bathed him and got him out of the tub. Maybe some of it was the heat? Now he splashes everyone, his flashy lights have to be on, the toys out, a washcloth on his head and he is in no hurry to get out of the tub, hehe.

Today Jacob has been home for three months. I have read on many blogs how the author feels like their new child has been home with them forever and always. We completely feel that way too. It is as if he has always been here with Rich and I. I will tell you about one thing I am working on. When he is breaking in teeth/teething he bites me. It can hurt too. He has not bitten Rich and I told him how lucky he was. Lil guy is strong. I have been reading about this and it is normal. At first I was concerned that it might have something to do with attachment and bonding. Now I am trying to teach him not to bite. Also working on not reacting too much. Some of my facial expressions make him laugh. He is in pain though, poor guy. A couple of our friends told us to get "Hylands Teething Tablets" and they seem to help. He is working on his 7th and 8th. Not sure how it will feel when the big molars start to come in. Tonight I am going to try the washcloth in the freezer, my cousin liked this remedy for her two cuties.

Regarding sleep, he is doing so good. A few blogger friends suggested "white noise" and that was a great idea. He still has the music to listen to. Plus we have a humidifier that Grammy gave him for his room. That humming sound does help a lot! I hope everyone is doing well!! :)
