Looking back...

He likes to use his arms to hit the dangling toys...

A typical day...get a warm bath, get dressed, and wait for the bottle to get warm for feeding time...

A monster invaded our house...

Tummy time working on developing strong neck muscles...trying to get him to follow the mirror has become an everyday activity that he usually moves it to the other side automatically

A fever? Oh no!

Jacob had a very eventful week!

On Tuesday, he got his RSV shot and then on Wednesday, he had his well visit and got his 4 months immunization shots. Ouch! He didn't like it very much, but after I held him, he stopped crying in less than 5 seconds (the nurse was counting down to 1 after he gave Jacob the shot...haha)

The doctor said that Jacob is progressing very well. As a matter of fact, according to his weight, he is in the 1 percentile...he's finally on the charts! =) He weighs 11 lbs. 10 oz., is 21 3/4 inches long, and 15 inches for head circumference. In 2 months, he'll start on rice cereal...to be continued...he just woke up...i'll be back...

A warm bath and bottle did it, he's asleep! The doctor's visit went well. He'll be seen again in 2months. We discovered that his fever was directly related to the shots. It scared both of us to death, but we're all okay now...thank goodness for tylenol.

Dressed up for his RSV appointment. Right before we put him on the scale, he threw up about 3 oz. of milk all over himself...me too. It was everywhere! Poor guy...I felt bad. His weight was 11 lbs. 7 oz.
Dressed up for his well check the next day. He spit up again, but it was very little. His weight here is 11lbs. 10 oz. (add 3 oz. he lost yesterday!)

After he got his shots. His nub nub helped him fall asleep...oh and I changed his outfit to something easier to put on b/c he was already stressed out.
Home at last and ready for a bottle.

He wouldn't sleep in his bassinet. He wanted to sleep on my chest, but after a few hours, my body began to ache so I placed him right next to me on the bed. He was content, but it scares me to have him there.

I'm a Rock Star!

Come on baybee...let's do the twist!

Come on, baby
Let's do the Twist
Come on, baby
Let's do the Twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da-da)

Yes...Jacob is doing the twist! He's just realized that he could do those things with his body now...a little coordination and he's all over the place, especially during feeding time! Everything is going well. I'm especially happy because my mom, grams, aunt, uncle, cousin, and sis visited today...and I was able to chat with my sis in law, Amy, on the phone for a bit...so today went by fast and Jeremy is almost home. Yay!

Everyone loves looking at pictures, so I've posted a few below...by the way...Jacob says to come visit so he can post your pic of the blog for memory sake...=)

E-Ca and Jakey...we're so sad she's leaving to go back to BYU-I on Tuesday! =(

Grams

Great Aunt Somaly visiting from Frederick, Maryland! Cousin Victoria from Maryland! She was a preemie too...born at 28 weeks, 1 lb. 6 oz. She was in the Nicu from Feb. 17th to July 4th! She was a trooper just as Jacob was too!

Look at Jacob...he's getting bigger! =)

Awww...isn't this sweet? Aunt Monica is going to be a great mother some day! Again...she's 'single and available'...hehe (sorry E-Ca!)

Mr. Chunkster

Aunt Mauvia got him this outfit...it is so cute! I don't want him to grow out of it!! =(

Trying to do the twist...

Grams...she's so into fashion...(thanks E-Ca...)

Vick couldn't get enough of Jakey...I have a feeling they are going to be close! =)

Great Aunt Somaly loves him too!

This is Great Grandma Kim...it's been several years past and I keep thinking she's stll 75 years old...I've got to check on that...

The onlookers...they were so sad they couldn't touch or go close to Jacob...not to worry, by summer time they will!

Digging in...if you've never had any, you are missing out big time!
The only grandchild missing is Jacob...he's hibernating in the room upstairs!

Aunt Laurie (left) and Aunt Linda (right) visited and delivered some presents for Jacob since he couldn't join the family on Christmas day! They also brought me some delicious lunch and washed my dishes and more...wish they could come over more often! =p

This is when we first got there...they were so excited! Look at Nurse Tita...hehe

After tummy time...

"Hello, anyone there?"...I thought it was so cute so I decided to move his hand up to his ears and he didn't like it...

Aunt Stephanie is so stylish...she loves buying Jacob these cute lil stuff...

The shirt should say, "FIRST in command!"

As Jo would put it, "Hot Mama's" luncheon...=)

It was so much fun getting together and talking about high school...we had so many laughs!

It's awesome to see how much we've all grown since 1999! Our class reunion is coming up in June...it's going to be lots of fun.
