Jacoby is 1 month old!!!

Hard to believe a month has gone by so quickly. Our little man continues to grow and change and amaze us all the time. He is now able to hold is head up pretty well, although it is still wobbly. He has discovered that his hands taste almost as good as something else he sucks on frequently :) and he is doing more and more tummy time. He really seems to enjoy being on his stomach, I think it helps his gas. We are slowly but surely establishing a little bit of a night time routine, at least I like to think we are. Nursing is going wonderfully, I am excited to go to his next appointment and see how much bigger he has gotten. I think that he is easily 10 lbs now, and definitely longer.

Valentines Weekend

We had an eventful weekend! We decided on Friday night that we were going stir crazy in the house and wanted to go to dinner. We had a coupon for a great little Mom and Pop steakhouse just down the street. We figured we better do a trial run of dinner out, as we also had plans for a Valentines dinner with friends the following night.
We got to the restaurant and it was packed, but we weren't worried, Jake was sound to sleep. We told the waitress we were in no hurry, baby was asleep and we were out of the house. We ordered the food, Jake was out. Got the salads and soups, Jake is snoring, no lie. We get the hot and delicious food, and I go to take my first bite, Jake wakes up screaming, how did he know?????? Well.... Mike is a wonderful guy, he took Jake and walked with him around the restaurant so I could eat my food while it was hot, so great. The waitress came by and saw what Mike was doing. She took his food back and put it under the warmer so Mike could enjoy a hot meal as well. I finished my dinner and traded places with Mike. So much for our nice dinner "together" Oh well it was still a good time.
So for the dinner on Saturday, I planned a little better. I strategically fed him all through the day, tried to keep him awake as much as I could and hoped for a better result. The restaurant we were headed to on Saturday was much bigger and I doubt they would have been as accommodating at the other place.
Jake did fantastic! All my worry was for nothing. We were there for 2 and a half hours and Jake slept soundly the entire time. Even when the waiters sang their incredibly loud Happy Birthday song to the table next to us. Even when we played pass the baby around the table, he was out. It was so nice to eat and visit with everybody, completely relaxed. We had a WONDERFUL Valentines weekend.

Week 2 a success!

Well I am falling a bit behind on this already! On Saturday Jacoby was 2 weeks old. So far so good. He had a doctor's appointment the Thursday before. Jake had gained a pound and an ounce from his 24 hour weight in the hospital. He lost a bit and was down to 8 lb 1 oz right before we left the hospital and was up to 9 lb 2 oz and his appointment! Holy Cow. I was a little worried he wasn't getting enough to eat, but clearly I was wrong. He is sleeping like a champ and because of the good weight gain, doctor was fine with me letting him go 4-5 hours at night between feeding, awesome. Jake has a bit of trouble getting to sleep at night, but once he falls asleep, he does well all night. He is holding his head up all the time, and staying awake more often during the day. He loves to ride in the car and taking a bath. Daddy had to go back to work this Monday, and although we miss him lots during the day, we are settling into a nice daytime routine ourselves. Mommy has started working out again, and that motivates us to get up and get out the door, rather than lounging around all day. One of our good friends has offered up his home gym, and training expertise to help get Mommy back in shape. Pre baby body here I come :)
I have a ton of new pics I need to get up, but just haven't had a chance yet. I will get them up as soon as I can.
