Time Flies!

I can't believe it has been 6 weeks since Jacob was born!  We have been very busy figuring out the parenting thing, getting on a schedule and meeting grandparents.

Jacob has been a very good sleeper.  He had his days and nights mixed up at first but has figured them out.  He typically only gets up twice a night to eat and goes right back down.  He is a very mellow baby.  He only fusses if he's hungry, needs a diaper change or has gas.  Otherwise he is perfectly content.  He has been staying awake longer during the day and becoming more alert.  He likes sitting outside and anything that moves.  So he does great in the car and his stroller.  We try to take a walk each day.  The weather has been beautiful lately, so we have been spending more time outside.  Jacob has had a chance to meet all of his grandparents.  It was great seeing them and very helpful to have them around.  It allowed me to catch up on some much needed sleep!  Joe had to go back home to work so Jacob and I had a few days by ourselves before my mom arrived.  I am certain that I wouldn't want to be a single mom!  It was amazing if I fit in a shower before noon!  We are very happy to have him back home!  We are coming back to Wisconsin Oct. 13-30.  We are looking forward to introducing Jacob to the rest of our families and friends.   Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks...
