Jennifer and I had a great day with Jacob! Yesterday we were a little concerned that he wasn’t going #2, but he eased our fears today by going not once, not twice, but five times! It seems the milk is starting to work its magic on his tummy.

Jacob was more alert today when Grandpa came over. He opens his eyes really wide now and focuses for a long time. I’m starting to think his eyes will turn brown over the coming weeks. They’re not a bright blue and they can only darken as his eye pigment develops. Since he had a 50% chance of brown eyes it’s not much of a surprise.

We made a trip to Goores and Target to pick up a couple nursing essentials. Jacob stayed in the car in his carseat. He seemed to really enjoy the car ride with his mom next to him. We also finally got a chance to put stuff away around the house and vacuum. The cat litter was embarrassingly bad as well. We have established a mobile baby center between our bedroom at night/morning and the front room during the day. We got a diaper caddy from Goores today to help tote the changing items around.

Jacob still hasn’t slept in his crib. Jennifer and I are just a little nervous about leaving him alone so he sleeps in a basonet next to our bed. We set him down in his crib while grandpa was here and he looked so little in his big crib! He seemed very relaxed in his crib, but I’ll still want to get a video monitor rather than the basic audio monitor we have now.

Tomorrow EJ and Veronica are going to come over to meet Jacob. It’s 10:38pm and I’m watching Lost right now. Jacob is due to eat again in an hour so I’m not going to get much sleep tonight!
