Jacob had a Doctor's appointment this monring. Jared met me at my work at 9:3o and we went over to Mel's to pick him up. It was raining outside when we got to her house. At the doctors (actually he saw an assistant) they said he was 55% for weight and 90% for height. He was doing very good on the charts they said. He weighed 22lbs 8.8 oz. He was 31 inches long and his head is 19 inches. He was very good for his exam and liked the snake around the lady's neck. She said his name was Nake. One day a little boy said to her, "Oh, You have a nake". So every since that has been his name. She check out the red blotchy spots by his shoulders and thought it was exema. She told us to use unsented baby wash and gave us some soap and cream. Jacob had to have 2 vaccinations, one in each arm and a poke in the finger for a hemaglobin check. I held him in my lap as they poked him. He did very good for the first shot and didn't even cry. The second one she warned stings - he did cry a little for that but then stopped. The poke in the finger he did great for too. When we left I got him a sucker that we shared in the car. He smiled big after every suck. After work on our way home we drove through a bad storm that was very hard to see while driving. It didn't last long. After we all had our dinner I gave Jacob a bowl of yogurt and a spoon to feed himselft with. He needed some help as I'd guide his hand toward his mouth. He stuck his hand in the bowl and then rubbed it in his hair. It's a good thing he gets a bath tonight. He was playing with his new toys tonight. He was pushing his tractor and catipillar all over. He giggled as we chased him around the couch.
