2 months old!

Hello everyone, Jake here!  I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I am 2 months old now.  I had my doctor appointment today and she had many good things to say!  I am now 23 and 1/4 inches long which falls in the 75th percentile for height.  I weigh 12 lbs. 13.5 ounces which falls in the 80th percentile of weight!  Developmentally, I am right on track.  I hold my head up good, wiggle my arms, look at objects, focus on Daddy and make cooing sounds!  I am also discovering that smiling is pretty cool.  I also am a bit ahead of the game because I can roll over from my tummy to my back.  I had to show off for Dr. Saxton today!  She was very surprised!  

The bad part of my day were the shots!  I had to get 3 of them in my legs.  I cried, but mom gave me some Motrin and I felt a little better!  

Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well.  I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  I will be hanging out at Uncle Kevin and Auntie Melissa's for the day.  

Safe travels to everyone too!

Love, 

Jake

It's the Weekend!

Here's a quick video, you can see he's getting so big. Only another week until daycare! As you can see, he's very alert and smiley. Brother Duncan is taking his traditional nap in the background.

Much love,

Getting so big!

Hello everyone!
We had a good weekend. My mom and Aunt Pat came out to visit. For my mom's birthday present this year, I bought her tickets to see the play Wicked. It was amazing. If any of you get a chance to see it, go! It is worth every penny. It was a short weekend, but we had fun nonetheless.

Jake is getting to be a big boy. He is holding his head up really well and is starting to smile and laugh. He stays up for longer periods during the day and is sleeping for about 4 hour intervals at night. The picture to the right is so cute. Adam took it while Jake was sleeping on the couch and Duncan jumped up and gave him a little kiss.
I took the picture below the other day while we were playing. It is so cool to see his eyes and watch him look around at everything. My favorite thing is when he sees his hands and looks at them with such wonder. It is pretty cute.

We went to my friend's wedding and it was the first time that he decided he would spit up. Not just any little spit up, but a full belly throw up right on the front of my dress. Yes, my black dress. Now, I know that black and white go together, but not in this case! It was easy to clean up though and I think he felt better after that burp!

I only have 2 weeks left before I go back to work. Bummer. I really like staying home with Jake and watching all of his new developments!
I can't believe Thanksgiving is around the corner.
We hope all of you have a good holiday. We will keep you posted with more soon!
Love,
Adam, Melissa, Jake and Duncan
