So while we were home in the states over the holidays i kept hearing people say "he isnt strange at all" after some confusion i found out it meant he isnt afraid of stangers, and goes to pretty much everyone.
HOWEVER according to my weekly update:
Your baby may be the most sociable young creature around — until somebody unfamiliar comes near. Many babies this age have begun to show signs of fear or shyness around strangers. Some even start withdrawing from familiar relatives and friends, and want to be close to no one but you. This phase can be so brief you barely notice it, or it may last for months, depending on your child's temperament.
Baby Jacob is right on schedule, he has stayed with two people this last week that he usually loves and giggles with, but after i was gone he got fussy, and it also happened today with his regular babysitter. He jsut seems irritated and un happy. Poor guy wanted his mommy.
Bad timing since Daddy is due home this week, lets hope there is an immediate bond!

I take care of a little boy who is one and when his mom gives him to me, he starts to cry, but when she is out the door, he stops. My boys did the same thing to me. Guilt trip for leaving them behind. It's hard, but in time it gets easier. I used Luv diapers for Joel and Jason because they were cheaper and worked just as well as huggies and pampers. Have a wonderful time with Josh when he is home.
Love you all and give Josh a hug :)

Jess,
Just remember that baby Jacob can feel your anxiety about the bonding. It will happen even if it takes a couple of days you just need to let the boys get to know each other again. It was hard for me not to tell Pat how to do it. I thought telling him how we did it while he was gone was the right way, but not really it just made him feel as though his way was inadequate. Josh and Jacob will get into their own way of doing things and that is really hard not to go police. I had to leave the room because I kept feeling myself wanting to correct them. Pat is an amazing father and I know that Josh is too; they just need the chance to find it on their own. It is fun to watch your husband grow and amazing to watch his heart melt as he falls in love with his children. We love you Jess.
