2 weeks and he's growing

On Tuesday, Jacob had his 2 week checkup. Everything is going fine. He is about 1 lb. more than his birth weight weighing in at 8lb. 11 oz. I can't believe how much he has changed just in the last 2 weeks. Nights are not too bad, but I do miss the nights of sleeping solid without interruptions. I hope he starts sleeping at least 6 straight hours very soon. Jeff goes back to work tomorrow, and I am a little worried about how this is going to go. It has been so nice having both of us home to entertain Adam and take care of Jacob. For the most part, Adam has been pretty receptive of Jacob. He gets really jealous if Jeff is holding Jacob, but doesn't care so much if I am. So the harder part will be for Jeff when I go back to work.

Here are things that I really love about having a baby:

1) Cuddle time
2) Watching him develop and grow
3) Watching him sleep - LOVE IT!
4) Little outfits
5) Smelling him (without a dirty diaper)
6) Having him cry and then picking him up and he stops because he knows he is with mommy
7) When he looks at me cross-eyed
8) When he pees on Dad
9) His perfect ears
10) Little toes
