Where does the time go....


I'm so bad at this blogging thing...it doesn't come natural to me to continually share what's going on in our household. I'm going to do a better job because time with Jacob has flown by and he is growing and changing at such a fast pace. And I'll do a better job at putting up pictures!

Jacob is nearly three months and during the last few weeks he has learned a few new things like smiling (they call it social smiling because he actually responds to you) and laughing, cooing and responding to your voice where it's almost like having a conversation with him and he has discovered his hands. He is also now sleeping through the night...knock on wood I didn't just jinx myself...and is sleeping about 9-10 hours a night. No more midnight feedings or getting up at 3 or 4 a.m. to sleepily feed him! He's also getting strong enough to hold his head up, although sometimes he gets a little over ambitious and slams his head into my jaw or cheek. Not fun for me but I think it shocks him more than it actually hurts me.

My favorite time of the day is first thing in the morning when all of us are well rested. Why is this the best part? Because when the baby cries to let us know he's awake and you walk into his room and he sees you, you are greeted with the biggest smile. It's love at first sight every morning! I then bring him into our bed (it's the only time he's allowed in our bed) and we lay together as a family. It doesn't get any better than this!
