1. jacob is allergic to eggs...for now. they say it's ok to feed eggs to your baby after they are six months, but most babies can have an allergic reaction up until age 2. these things would have been good to know before we gave jacob a bite of french toast. let's just say, he won't be eating french toast until he's old enough to drive. he broke out in hives-rash all over his face, had super itchy eyes, and was wheezing for a while afterwards. we have learned from our mistake. it was NOT a fun experience.
2. jacob likes to eat crib paint. well, not sure if that is really what he was going for, but we have been finding beaver-like teeth marks on the top ledge of his crib. turns out that he likes to scrape his 2 little teeth against the crib after he has pulled himself up. too bad he has a black crib- it looks like he got into some dirt.
3. jacob likes to make sure mommy and daddy do not get a full night's rest. he has not been sleeping very well through the night for about 2 months now. i wish i could blame it on teething, and maybe i can, but i am not quite convinced. i wish i knew. and i tell jacob every morning, "good thing you are so cute, or mommy would send you back to where you came from because you are so naughty." no, i wouldnt really do that, but being woken up 2-3 times a night to screaming baby can sure make you crazy. jacob, please give mommy and daddy a good night's sleep!!! please!!
4. jacob has an orange nose- only in pictures. we have been noticing lately that in all of the pictures we take of jacob, his nose is orange-colored. not sure why. maybe too many orange veggies? not sure. any suggestions?

maybe he's getting into your self-tanning lotion. Or maybe you still have some on your hands when you wipe his nose.
Don't worry about the eggs, Jacob. They are gross anyways!
thanks mom- i dont use self-tanner. don't make me look like a dork on my own blog.
look what i just found: http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic48623.html
We've had orange noses in our family too. It's most likely the orange vegetables. Our pediatrician told us he can tell when kids start their veggies, because they turn orange. We have a picture of Noelle, at about 6 mo, with some spring flowers that really accent her orange nose...not exactly the look we were going for!
Interesting about the orange nose, but it makes sense. I think you can get a plastic rail cover for the crib so that he doesn't ruin it completely or get splinters. As for the waking up in the nite...it could be a growth spurt and he really is hungry...or maybe he loves you and misses you and wants a snuggle. Try not to think of the time of day/ nite but rather of your sweet little baby that won't be little much longer. Cuddle, nuzzle.
I second the orange veggie theory.
We don't get a lot of sleep around here, either. I've been blaming it on Libby's teeth for about a year now. I'm still holding onto the hope that when she gets all of them, she'll sleep. We have four more to go. ;)
hmmm. Sleep is good. Let the kid cry for a bit, if you haven't already. How old is he now? My doc says after 6mos. if he's dry, well he's just making it a bad habit. Sorry about that though. Believe me, been there!!
