Happy 1 Month Birthday Jake!

In his going home outfit (since he was screaming the last time he wore it, the day we actually went home from the hospital).

Just of few of his many faces...

Today Jake is one month old! I can't believe that a month ago we had our tiny little baby. He is now 8 lbs with chubby cheeks, a double chin & round little tummy. I can't believe how fast he is growing. It seems like each day he grows, changes and does something new. A few things about him now:

• His hair is still blond. I've tried parting it, but it is not long enough. It naturally just sticks up everywhere. It doesn't really show up in photographs, but he has a good bit of hair. It is just very thin. As it gets longer, it has a little curl at the end, so he looks like he is sporting an 80's feathered look.
• He had the hiccups a lot while I was pregnant with him. He still gets them several times a day now.
• He still is a very good baby who sleeps a lot (thankfully). He does though, about once a day yell cry for no apparent reason. It is at different times each day, so I'm not really sure what is causing it. I guess he just needs to yell in my ear once a day.
• My favorite face that he makes is an old man face. When he is stretching, he sticks his neck up and out. He looks like the Grandfather from The Simpson's.
• He took his first bottle Thursday night. Robbie said that it took him forever to drink it because he kept letting the bottle nipple fall out of his mouth. Guess it will take some time for him to get use to.
• We took our church directory picture this morning. He did very good & even managed to open his eyes for a few pictures.
• Tonight we are going out in public with him for the first time (besides doctor's appointments). It will be our first dinner out as a family of 3.
