Visitors

Jacob has had a few visitors in the last few days. Heather and Eliot came over Friday and hung out for a few minutes. They both held and cooed over him. He acted pretty well; no outbursts - gas or otherwise.

Uncle Neil and Aunt Nikki came down from Oklahoma on Saturday to see him. They spent the day in Austin and headed back late Saturday night. Aunt Nikki is about 5 months pregnant and the drive was almost too far for her to make in one day so they decided to break the trip back to Oklahoma into two pieces: staying in Hillsboro last night and driving the rest today.

Again, Jacob had a good day while they were here. We had quite a laugh when Jacob expelled a little tummy gas on Uncle Neil. He almost jumped off the couch when he felt it. I don't think he was expecting such a violent explosion from such a small package!

If you can see in the picture with Uncle Neil, Jacob's little cheeks are filling in. He's starting to get a little jowly and pack on some weight. We don't have another pediatrician's appointment for 6 weeks. We're thinking that Jacob will be at least 13 pounds by that time and we'll be starting some solid foods in his diet.

Overall, we had a good weekend with the company. Saturday night was a little long b/c Jacob was only feeding for about 15 minutes at a time (as opposed to 30-45) between 2 AM and 6 AM so he would only sleep an hour or so before he would wake up cranky again. Hopefully tonight will go a little better.
