Jacob has had lots of 'firsts' this week, including his first down-home southern meal, beans and cornbread. I mashed up the beans for him, and helped break up the cornbread for him, and he loved every bite (he mostly feeds himself). He even followed it up with some of Grandma's homemade apple butter. He absolutely loves table food, so much that he actually rejects his bottle nowdays. So I have to give him his bottle before he lays eyes on 'real' food...otherwise the bottle is like yesterday's newspaper -- not one bit interested!
He also cut another upper tooth, which brings his total tooth count to five. He's had a hard time with these upper teeth so far, waking up often at night crying, and having a hard time getting back to sleep. I got him some teething tablets (which other moms swear by), but I have to say they haven't done a thing for him. Last night he even pushed my hand away when I tried to give him one, as if to say, "Get that junk out of my face." Poor little punkin...he is so good-natured, though, that during the day he never cries...except when he bumps his mouth -- ouch!! I almost cry myself when I see him bump his mouth.
Tonight we're going to see Santa Claus again at Grandma's church. The menu is pizza, so we'll have to take something a little more palatable for babies. Should be interesting to see him on Santa's lap again!

Hi there Suzanne,
This is Aidan's Grandma from Australia - writing to say I love the pictures of Jacob, especially the first one taken amongst all the autumn leaves.
I am looking forward to seeing Jacob and Aidan in some pictures together in the New Year.
Have a great Christmas and a wonderful 2008.
