Here we are at Jacob's second week of living in the outside world. Little Man is doing great! He had a check up on Friday and weighed in at 5 lbs 9 ounces (1 ounce up from birth and 4 ounces in one week).
He has been sleeping a lot better too. The doctor's first question upon entering the room was how much sleep are Jennifer and I getting. We must have looked fantastic. She suggested that after Jacob's evening feast that Jennifer go to bed and I give him a bottle at the next feeding. I stay away from the bedroom with the monitor and do a little TCB (taking care of business) until 2 am when Jennifer gets up to feed him then and then at 6 am. Jennifer gets a lot more consecutive sleep and I get sleep period. On Christmas Day we started a new schedule with him too so between that and our sleep shift plan, it has been going quite well.
He really is a good little baby. The times that he has been up at night were because of tummy problems. Not a whole lot bothers him otherwise. He is very content and happy. He began holding up his head for about 5 seconds at a time and can move it left and right. He has some good leg strength too. So that is the latest report, now here are some new pics!
