Check out my new kicks!

On Friday Jacob and I went out for the day and when we came home there was a cute gift in the mailbox. No name, no clue as to who it was from but inside was a pair of super cute shoes. I found out today that they were from our friend Chad. Of course I had to put them on him for our outing to the mall today. Pretty cute!!

What is Marc doing?????

Well here are some pictures of Marc figuring out how the ergo carrier fits with the infant insert. He really liked the sun/weather protector as you can see. I don't think I really need to say much more. Oh, and Jacob was NOT in the carrier at this time, Marc was just trying it on.

Grilling with Dad

Last night Marc grilled some steak and didn't want to put Jacob down (I think he missed him all day at work) so he took him outside to "help". Jacob liked it when Marc opened the grill to check on the meat and all the warm air came out. I am sure this is the first of many father/son grill times.

New Bouncy Seat

Thanks to Jacob's great Aunt Joanie and great Uncle Dave (Susannah's aunt and uncle in Maryland) for sending him this great bouncy seat. He will actually sit in it for a while (15 minutes tops). So far it is the only one he has tolerated. He always looks a bit sceptical when his eyes are open, guess he isn't too sure about the outside world.

Swinging and Eyes Open

This past Friday the 3rd was Jacob's original due date but because he was born early he turned 3 weeks old instead! He is staying awake for longer periods of time now and it is fun to see him with his eyes open. We have been trying out the swing and he likes it for about 5 minutes then wants out.

Family Pictures

Marc's parents have been here from California and we all went to dinner at my parent's house. Here are a few pictures from that evening. Of course my Dad had to take a picture of Jacob with a tennis ball- no pressure Jacob you can play any sport you want.

2 Week update

Friday was Jacob's 2 week birthday and we took him for his 2 week well check-up. He has gained half a pound since his birth weight and a pound since we brought him home from the hospital (he lost half a pound after he was born). He now weighs in at whopping 5 and half pounds! He is gaining weight very quickly and the doctor is really pleased. We have been noticing chubby cheecks and fatter belly. Jacob also grew half and inch and is now 18 and half inches long.
