1 Month

Jacob is four weeks old and it's been fun getting to know our new little guy over the past month and watch him become part of our family. He just kind of fits right in to our lives . . . of course, there are times when three kids is really hard, but there are other times where it is so natural and right. Here are a few things that we've learned about our little Jacob:

He hates, I mean hates, the car seat. There is usually crazy screaming when he realizes that he is being strapped in. Sometimes the screaming continues in the car, sometimes he falls right asleep.

Ironically, he isn't a fan of sleeping in the bassinet yet. Where does he sleep? In the car seat:)

He loves to eat. A lot. Way more than the girls.

He LOVES the Baby Bjorn. All I have to do is strap him in there and he pulls his little hands in and is as happy as can be all snuggled up close to me. I think he loves it because he's close to the food source:)

In general, he is a pretty content baby. He cries when he is hungry, cold, or is being strapped into the car seat.

He has the most beautiful smile . . . we got our first real ones this week!

The hairdryer calms him down instantaneously. I wish I had an IPhone so I could record it and play it for him in the car seat.

He's not so interested in the pacifier (called a kiki in our house, thanks to Abby). But we are working on it. He will take it occasionally, and that's awesome!

He loves to be held, and I don't mind holding him:)

Enjoy a few pictures from the past week!
