One Month

Jacob is officially one month old (I'm a little late on this post so actually he is older) and I can't believe how much our world has changed.  Everyone tells you all about how much your life will change but you can't really grasp it until you experience it.  Our life has changed. Now there is this little helpless person that depends solely on us to take of him and provide for him.  What a responsibility! I have loved getting to know our little boy and experience the joy he brings to the world.  Jacob's first month has been very eventful.  He has met his grandparents, gone on walks, laid by the pool, eaten at Chilis, Outback Steakhouse, Patya, and Applebees. He has been to a birthday party, had a 4th of July party, and invited all his girlfriends over for lunch.  He has been weighed, measured, and photographed. Here are some of his first month stats.


- weighed in at 8lbs 13 oz.- gained 2 lbs in 1 month
- 22" long - grown 1.5" since birth
- Eats about 3-4 oz a feeding and is doing well with breastfeeding
- Jacob typically go to bed around 11:30pm and then sleep until around 3 or 3:30. Then I take a bottle and sleep until about 7:30.
- I have been very blessed with lots of help. Either my Mom or Micah's have been giving Jacob the middle of the night feeding so I can get a solid amount of sleep= Amazing
- Jacob hated diaper changes, baths, and generally being naked. But he's starting to get used to it. 
- I've had lots of baths and just like diaper changes, at first I hated them. Now they aren't so bad.
- Jake does great at tummy time but doesn't last very long. 
- On his one month birthday he rolled from his tummy to his back
- I've been on walks, went to the pool, had a 4th of July party, and visited Khobar
- We are still waiting on my passport but are hoping it arrives soon


We love our little boy so much and can't believe how much he has changed our lives. He is such a sweet wonderful boy.  I thank God everyday for allowing us to be his parents.

We love our little man so much!!
