Busy Time Of The Year!
I'm sure everyone is very busy this time of year with putting up decorations around the house, holiday shopping and visiting family and friends. We are no different even with an almost 11-week old... Yep, can you believe it?!?! It is hard for us to believe!! We have been very busy with the holidays and getting Christmas cards, etc. ready. Amy is working on the Christmas cards as I am typing this and Jacob is getting ready to again. He ate two hours ago and jumped up to 5 ounces then and sucked it down like a champ (4 and wanted more, so 5 he got...). Let's see what he wants/eats this time!!
Jacob has really changed in the last week and a half or so. He has definitely found his hands and very much likes sticking them in his mouth. He has also started to grab onto things like rattles, fingers, etc. and working on putting them in his mouth. His alertness and following/hearing mom and dad's voices has become greatly more noticeable. He has also been moving his head back and forth rather rapidly at times to check out places that he hasn't seen before. He seems to be very inquisitive of things.
Jacob is remembering what is coming next. The good things like hearing the bottle getting shaken when he is hungry and crying. He really calms down when he hears and sees what is going on and patiently waits because he knows what is coming next. He also remembers the bad like getting drops in his eyes. He has been starting to put his hands/fists in his eyes when the drops are a comin'...
Amy and I were joking about not blogging in a while and that of some of you may be going through withdrawals... You know who you are... ;)! Amy wanted me to wait, but I felt the need to make some time and get something new added. Stay tuned for some Christmas photos that we have spending time on this week. Amy and I are torn about putting any of them up because we would like the Christmas cards to be the first time you see, one, two or many of what we have taken... So stay tuned for pictures to be revealed some time in the future... Maybe even before Christmas... :-P!!
