We are all recovering from a nasty, lingering cold. Jacob was running temps of 100+ for a few days. I have had head junk going for a while and think I’m finally on the tail end.

Jacob has been in a new day care, actually a close friend is watching him during the day. They have a one year old boy so Jacob has a buddy. We are very happy with the situation after a negative experience with his first day care.

Jennifer and I are still getting used to balancing being parents, spouses and working. Putting on so many hats in a day can be challenging, but I think we are doing a great job going with the flow.

Jacob has been increasingly fussy in the evenings after his late feeding. We were struggling to get him to sleep and getting very frustrated, not to mention exhausted. Yesterday we had a visit from great grandma. After raising five children, she learned a few things about babies. She schooled us on baby gas and what to look for. It turns out Jacob was just gassy and needed a little help getting it out. We can’t thank great grandma enough! Here is a shot of four generations.

Earlier in the day we gave Jacob another bath and his hair is getting much lighter! Unfortunately for him his parents both have thin hair and he does, too. Isn’t Jacob’s mommy gorgeous?!

We finally got out of the house today for a real outting and went to the mall. We kept Jacob covered up in his stroller the whole time and he slept his way through the stores. Jennifer is so happy to finally be able to walk for more than two minutes and I’m happy to be able to spend time with her walking around.
