7 week update

My apologies for the lack of blogging lately,  but we have been a little busy.  We had a wonderful visit last week with Amanda and Sterling.  We haven't seen them in quite a while and this was their first time meeting Jacob.  We really enjoyed their company and can't wait until the next time we get to see them.  Their little one will here before we know it and then our visits will be even more interesting!  We followed that with a weekend visit from my parents.  They hadn't seen Jacob (in person) since the week he was born.  They were excited to see him and Jacob enjoyed it too! We have had a few days to relax this week and A's parents are coming next week to celebrate Christmas with us a little early.  We are looking forward to their visit and the beginning of our Christmas celebrations for 2010. 

In Jacob news...
He is now 7 weeks old and finally gaining weight at a good rate.  According to our scales, he is about 9 1/2 pounds now!  He only eats about 6 times a day, or every 4 hours or so.  This also means he sleeps through the night, only waking up once to eat.  This has made me very happy :)  He is looking around so much more, and seems to really be taking in the world around him.  He still loves the Christmas tree and is starting to show interest in his toys too.  He is also smiling a lot.  I can't get a really good picture though.  Every time he has a great smile and I pick up my camera or phone, it goes away immediately.  This is the best I can get for now.

Happy Friday everyone!
