1 Month

I can't believe this guy has been in our family a whole month. We basically can't get enough of him. There is no shortage of love around here that's for sure. He'll be grateful when winter break is over too, cause there IS a shortage of sleep 'cause everybody wants to play with him... ALL.THE.TIME.

 We had to weigh/measure at home cause he won't go to the doctor for another month, but he is growing like a weed. He's gained a pound and a half since he came home and grown an inch and a half.

Here is another photo I took for Christmas, I didn't want to post till Grandma's opened their gifts!

He eats like clock work- every 3 hours, day and night. He's a great sleeper at night (except that every 3 hour thing- which I know will get better) so we're grateful for that!

He's very alert, and just seems to take everything in. He's not really smiling yet (at least voluntarily, anyways) so he just always seems so serious.

Sienna bought Jacob this bear for Christmas. They're about the same size!

These cheeks!They kill me, I can't even be mad at him for peeing on me and spitting up all over me right before this!

This is what he really thought about our photo shoots

This Girl

This sweet girl was not real sure about this coming baby. She would often say she didn't like the baby because he was hurting me or because I was to tired to play with her. But now that he's here and she can actually SEE him, she's in love, just like the rest of us!

She has started singing to Jacob when he's upset and he calms almost instantly. I told her she was "hired" to take care of him and she took that very seriously. She started telling everyone that "mommy hired me" and then she started negotiating her pay. Silly girl!

Funeral

Funerals mean FAMILY

 This picture made my heart swell. Logan..Tanner..David..Hannah. I asked Tanner about it and he said Logan was crying to they were comforting him.

The service for GG was beautiful, It was a real celebration of her life. I don't know how much my younger kids understand, but Sienna really misses her, and said she'd like to go to heaven to visit her.

1 week

I know I've only been at it for one week now, but I'm really killin' it at this thing called 'LIFE'. I like to be awake during the day and sleep at night. I'm hungry every 3 hours on the dot, and I polish off a bottle in under 5 minutes. And I keep that food down, no spit up here. I really don't like having my diaper changed, but come on- who does, am I right? And these people I live with... the big ones love to hold me and love me, and the one called Mom can't stop kissing me. The little ones, they actually FIGHT over doing things for me - basically, I'm a rockstar people.
