Knock on wood, Jacob has been a very good baby the last couple days. He is sleeping very well and his time awake is filled with much less grunting and more happy baby. I don’t know if it is the gripe water we’re giving every other feeding or his little tummy is maturing (or both), but he seems to have less gas and upset tummy.
Today Jennifer’s old boss, Cindy, came by for a visit and Jacob was on his best behavior. He laid on his back peacefully on the couch staring at “picture” while the two ladies caught up. In the evening we took Jacob to El Torito to meet my work team. Jacob is 7 weeks old and he’s already hanging out at bars during happy hour. He did great until we tried to push it and go to the mall to grab something for Jennifer. He went ballistic when we got out of the car to walk around and get him so I stayed in the car with him while Jennifer ran in for twenty minutes or so. He slept in my arms in the car while mommy shopped.
I go back to work on Monday and I’m very thankful for the time I was able to spend at home with Jennifer and Jacob. Jacob is sleeping longer and eating better, which should make the transition easier for Jennifer when I go back. I went into work yesterday to see Steve Poizner speak and it felt like I had been away from the office for a long time. I guess seven weeks is a long time to be away from work, but it doesn’t seem like I’ve been home that long. I’m going to be thinking about the little guy all day long as I sift through 1000+ e-mails (no exaggeration).
