Jakob's 1 month old!!

Well, Jake is officially one month old as of Sunday and went for his one month doctor's appointment yesterday. He's up to 9 pounds 2 ounces and is now 21 7/8 inches long. This puts him in the 30th percentile in weight but the 61st percentile in height. Our suspensions that he will be a tall boy are continuing to grow! He is still sleeping at least 5 hours each night and sometimes will sleep for 6-7 hours before waking up to eat.

The new thing this week is that Jake is beginning to hold his head up to look at us when we are holding him with his chest to ours. He has always tried to do this but is now doing so for long periods of times, sometimes for 20-30 seconds with really good head control! He's such a strong baby :) We all survived our first overnight trip to Brazil this past weekend, although Jake did have a hard time getting back into the swing of things when we got back home. He is doing better today and is back to taking his morning naps...thank goodness!!!

4 weeks old!!!!

Jakob's Week 4 Update

Jakob is nearly 4 weeks old now and is growing like a weed. When we get on the scales with him he adds 8.5 pounds to our weights!!! He is also getting too long for his newborn outfits. This is the first of many changes we have to look forward to in the upcoming months & years. Sometimes it's just as sad as it is exciting knowing that he is growing so quickly. The other day we went by a soccer field and we both commented on how it will just be a blink of the eye before Jake is out there playing soccer too. Jason is already planning out which sports Jake will play and when we'll need to start signing him up for each sport!

Jakob survived his first Easter with the Campbell Family with no problems. Actually, he slept most of the day only really waking up to eat...he even slept during the egg hunt with Izaiah and Aunt Tammy (who was hunting for sleeping Tillie). I just walked around with him in his carrier and he just slept. He did enjoy getting his picture taken after everyone left, posing with all of his new stuffed animals.

We go back to the doctor Monday for his official 1 month check-up. We'll update everyone with the vitals then!!
