Jacob's first month

I can't believe that Jacob will be one month old tomorrow! Time seems to have flown by. People told me it would, but I thought the newborn stage would take forever. Here are some pictures of his first month of life. Hopefully you can tell how big he is getting.


This is a picture of Jacob in his crib at one week. He looks so much smaller than he is now!


Sept. 3--Almost two weeks old. He looks so peaceful. This is how he sleeps all the time. He looks uncomfortable with this legs like that, but as long as he is sleeping well I won't complain!


Sept. 8--All ready to leave the house in his car seat attached to the stroller frame. I think we just went and got the mail (about a three minute walk), but it was the first time he went out with the stroller.


Sept. 12--Jacob has been smiling a lot. Sometimes in response to us talking to him, sometimes just because he feels like it.



Sept. 19--Jacob and I went with Larry to mow the church lawn. Here we are in the church nursery playing. It seemed to take forever for Larry to be finished, but at least the church had one of those activity gym things he could lay on.

Jacob's first week

I got these flowers from my boys! It was so nice of them.


Jacob loves to eat. When he's awake and not eating, he usually has his hands in his mouth!


My mom came to help out, and I asked her to cut Jacob's really long nails. I was too nervous to do it the first time. My mom had a lot of fun. My mom also did some laundry and ironing for me (Yay, I HATE ironing!). She was awesome, and it was so nice to have my mom take care of me. My dad finally held Jacob when he was 4 days old (My dad was recovering from the swine flu!).
