Swaddling

Clearly we have a little escape artist on our hands. He always seems to find a way out whether it be his hands or feet.

Bath Time!

Jacob loves his bath

First Play Date

Jacob had his first play date with his friend Campbell. She is about 3 1/2 months old. I would like to say that Jacob enjoyed meeting his new friend, but he was so overwhelmed he slept the entire time. I'm pretty sure Campbell had a good time though. :)

Newborn/1 Month Pictures

Jacob had his first photo shoot. He did a great job and the pictures turned out so cute. I absolutely love them!! For now, you can look at them HERE. Once I get the images I will post them. Thanks so much Tracy!

1 Month

I am a little late at posting this, but Jacob is now 1 month old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He's still a little guy, but he's growing fast!

At 1 month Jacob...

-weighs just over 6 lbs

-wears newborn diapers

-wears newborn clothes (some are still a little big)

-eats about 2oz of milk every 3-4 hours

-smiles (even if it is just gas)

-is a little wiggle worm

-hates getting his diaper changed

-has his nights mixed up with his days

-loves bath time, for the most part

-loves his mommy and daddy :)

We love you little guy, even if you do keep us up all night. I still love all your cute facial expressions, your cute little hands and feet and everything about you. You are our little angel.

The time has come...

I have to go back to work in 3 weeks! I am sad that half of my leave had to be on bed rest and I wasn't able to spend the whole time with Jacob. However, I am thankful that I was able to be on bed rest and take care of baby Jacob while he was inside so that he wasn't born at 29 weeks.

I am wondering if anybody knows of a good day care or knows of anybody that would be willing to watch Jacob a few days a week. For the first month or so we are able to work it out so that he can stay home with Miguel during the day while he is still little and growing. We will eventually have to get him into a day care though. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. :)

Diaper Bags

I guess this is a funny thing to post about, but I want some advice. Which diaper bag do you like? Or, should I go with something more plain. :)

3 week appointment.

Jacob had his 3 week appointment. Usually it's a 2 week appointment, but since we were in the hospital at 2 weeks the doctor saw him at 3 weeks, a few days after we came home.

Weight: 5lbs 14 ounces - 1 percentile

Height: 18.4 inches - 0 percentile

Head Circumference: 13.0 inches - 0 percentile

The doctor says he is doing great and gaining weight as he should, about an ounce a day at this point. He is still a tiny little guy though.

Keep up the good work Jacob!!

Jacob comes home!

On Tuesday, March 30 Jacob came home. We are so happy to finally have him home. We love little Jacob so much. Welcome Home Jacob!

All ready to go home. His outfit is a little big!

So sleepy...

In his car seat ready to go. We had to go home with the car bed because he is still too small for his regular car seat and didn't pass the car seat test. :(

Home!

All ready for bed, ready to sleep in his crib for the first time. Clearly he is excited.
