8 months

First Tooth and Crawling


On the day Jacob turned 8 months old a tooth popped out and he began to crawl. He didn't complain too much about the tooth, but he threw a fit about having to crawl for the first time. We have a son who prefers to be picked up and carried everywhere and like most babies who are fond of the independence of crawling, Jacob would still rather be carried. The first time he crawled which was from his room to the living room, he fussed at us the ENTIRE time. It was so funny!!!!


Jacob has also discovered Hector's piles of students work that he so neatly stacks in the corner of our bedroom. Well, literally 30 seconds was all it took for Jacob to destroy the piles.... as you can see below in the pics.

Needless, to say all the piles of student papers are now ontop of countertops!

Welcome to the Reyes Infirmary

And you should the see fridge!!!!

Stomach bug- check
The flu- check
Double ear infections- check
RSV- check

My dear friends and family it has been a rough 2 weeks at the Reyes'. The pediatrician asked if I was trying to purchase a room in his office this past Wednesday ha! ha!. Actually, I would rather stay out of his office and the target pharmacy for atleast 6 months......and so would our checkbook!

Nicole has fully recovered from her influenza illnesses. And, Jacob is still on the road to recovery. Unfortunately, he has contracted RSV, and has had a tough battle with the wheezing and congestion. So, between nebulizer treatments every 3 hours and major suctioning, we have not had to be admitted at this time. Please keep him in your prayers that he is able to recover quickly and that Hector and I get some much needed sleep!
