Learning what he likes and doesn't like

I have been trying to keep a running log of the things Jeb doesnt like. For instance the other day Jeb was about to get into the bathtub. I was sitting on the floor, as Jeb walks towards his dad who is running the bath water- he startles a "SPIDER CRICKET"!!!!- ok so they are called camel crickets. But they are HUGE-UGLY-" GOD WHY DID YOU CREATE THESE BUGS?" - and they can jump 4 feet in the air and for some reason they ALWAYS jump towards me!
anyways, I scream, and slide back (i cant jump up do to this pregnancy thing)
Chad yells "what's going on" and then it happens Jeb's mouth turns into a big oval and tears start falling down his face. Mom? scared?- Jeb starts crying. It takes a long time for Mom and Dad to convince him that we are all ok.

Next item- Carwashes....you may need to turn on the music or get him laughing before the blue things start swishing next to his window.....

Spiderman.....the costume....all was going well at the church festival until Spiderman popped out...more tears.

Never put shoes on his feet unless you are about to take him outside....Shoes mean go to him. IF you arent by the door with in 30 seconds of lacing up those shoes....you guessed it more tears. He will wait by the door until you let him go outside.

Ok well those are just a few of his dislikes.

He really his a wonderful child...probrably a little spoiled....but whose first born isnt?

NO!

Well that is his favorite word right now. It doesnt matter what you say to him, if you say something and it sounds like a question he comes back with a loud and stern "NO". "Jeb do you want a drink?"-NO!, "It's time for a diaper change"-NO!, "DO you want a million dollars?" NO!
I thought I would be clever and stop saying No to him. If he did something wrong I would say "stop" or "don't".

Well -I will need to be more clever.

Yesterday at Gramma's house he told her "DON"T!" three times.

The Doctor says he has all the markings of a little boy....

That is how Jeb's Doctor put it. He had is wellness checkup (thank God for insurance! this is his first well visist since he was born)
The Doctor examined his ears and eyes and stomach.....and as she was doing so Jeb was throwing the pen, thumping his head against the wall- and saying OWwhhh, trying to reach Grammas keys, wanting off the counter, trying to hold the stethascope.....All the Doctor could say was he is ALL BOY. I am sure she could examine the - scratch on his cheek, the dried blood in his nose from a fall, the pink scratch across the nose from the fall, the two pavement scruff marks on his knees, the red mark on his neck from the fall in the waiting area, the orange cheese stain in his ear from the cheeto he tried to poke down in it.....

BUT he is HEALTHY and that is what matters.

At 17 months he weighs 27lbs and 12oz, he's 34 inches tall, he is in the 90% for weight and 95% for height, and If I am reading this note right his head is 51 cm! (I wonder if that is right--although he does have a big head) Every morning he complains because the shirts get stuck!
The Dr. said if he keeps this up he will be around 6'2".

He also got 4 shots...now that was fun. The nurse told me to lay him down and hold him still. (ha)
Well I gave him a pacifier, and held him down. The nurse had all four needles ready for action.
Needle #1- Huge yell from Jeb.....Needle #2- now a bigger scream, mouth is wide open and tears are fallings- Needle #3- this nurse is quick! this wont take long, Needle #4- Jeb has had enough- he throws the pacifier and reaches down with his right hand and yanks the needle. the nurse is holding his leg and the needle- so she cant let go, I grab Jebs hand and TRY to hold it steady- he has already pulled the needle half way out, but the nurse puts it back in.....I pry the fingers off as steadily as possible- Jeb's grip is strong.....
Well we undo his hand, and he is done. It felt like it lasted for 10 minutes. It was probably only 10 seconds, but the fear in Jebs eyes and the fear in the nurses eyes when he grabbed that needle will not be forgotten
We get to go back in thirty days for four more shots....any volunteers?

I have anxiety with just my second on the way....
