Grandpa's Birthday Party!

Our Family

So Cute!

HE DID IT!!!

Yesterday we hit a milestone. Sitting up!!! Jakobe was laying on his boppy and he all of a sudden sit up! All on his own. David and I were shocked and excited. I started clapping and David was telling him good job. It was so amazing. We have been waiting for this for so long. Here is a picture of him laying on the boppy. The next picture is him sitting up. This was the third time he did it. We were so proud!!! (I think it's so cute that he's looking at us like what did I do?)

Hear His New Sounds!

Here are Jakobe's squeals. He does this constantly. The first time he made his squeal noise (Saturday, May 24th) I was changing him. He did it and I jumped back because I thought I hurt him some how. When I looked down he had a huge smile on his face. It was really cute. I must say that when he does this in public he sure turns heads. He is very loud when he does this. (I wonder who he gets that from?)

This Weekend!

Getting ready to go for a jog with mom!

Jody's 2 week old puppy.

Just making sure that pacifier isn't going anywhere!

Go Cardinals!

Sitting and Standing!

His starting position.
Trying to sit up. He's not quiet there yet but will be there soon!
Again, his starting position.
Working on standing. He loves to be on his feet. He can stand like this for up to a minute at a time. He just loves it!

4 Month Appointment

Jakobe had his 4 month check up on Tuesday, May 27th. He weighs 13.9 pounds (25th percentile) and measured 23 3/4 inches ( 10th percentile). His head circumference is 15 1/2 inches. He again got 3 shots. 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. He cried this time when he got the shots. I felt horrible. The doctor said his ears looked good. They weren't red anymore and didn't have any discharge. Yeah! I'm supposed to continue with his medicine until it runs out. He was very very fussy the rest of the day. If I moved his legs wrong or accidentally bumped them he would cry. His legs were very sore. The doctor was impressed that he has now doubled his birth weight. I was warned to start to watch for teething. It can happen any time now. Fun Fun! He goes back in two months for his 6 month check up. I can't believe how fast he is growing! Crazy!

Vacation~
David and I are excited to take him on his first vacation this Summer. We are going to our lake cabin in Wisconsin for a week over the 4th of July. We can't wait to share this with Jakobe!

4 Months!

Jakobe has just 'found' his voice. He loves to squeal (very loudly I must add) loves to make gurgling sounds and loves to giggle. He is full of smiles now. Basically anything you say gets one of his adorable smiles out of him. He is into his tongue. He sticks it out all the time and plays with his lips with his tongue. He's really into his legs and feet. He loves to kick and move them all around. He's still chewing on his hands. Working on getting his entire fist in his mouth. He can only get about half of it in there right now. He's trying so hard to sit up. It is so cute to watch him. He loves to stand. He can stand for about up to a minute now. He is just growing so fast. It is so fun to watch him grow and mature each day. He is such a fun baby!

17 Weeks!

Getting ready to leave for daycare Friday morning.


He's getting good at holding that bottle!

The Circus!

We no longer have a living room. We have a circus!

Poor Guy!

Jakobe has been fighting an ear infection for 2 weeks now. He was put on Amoxicillin. Tuesday night was our worst night ever. Jakobe was up the entire night just screaming and thrashing his arms and legs. We knew he was in pain and knew it was his ear because he was digging his face into the mattress. We were up the entire night with him. I already had a doctor appointment scheduled for the following morning at 9:40. Around 9:15 that morning all of a sudden he stopped crying. He was then very calm and content. It was very strange. The doctor took one look inside his ear and said that he had ruptured his ear drum. His ear was completely filled with goop. I felt absolutely horrible. She said that all of the pressure built up in his ear and it finally burst. That's why he was screaming all night. She said it is SO painful. Then when it burst he wasn't in any pain any more. I'm guessing that around 9:15 is when it ruptured because that's when he stopped crying. She cleaned out his ear and he was put on a different antibiotic. If his meds don't work this time they will put tubes in his ears. I asked her if this would affect his hearing. She said 99% of the time it does not. She said it was good I brought him in when I did because if this goes untreated it can have an effect on his hearing. She said he will have a hard time hearing for a while until a new ear drum grows back. He goes back on Tuesday for his 4 months check up and she's going to take a look at his ear then. He is doing better now. I can tell his ear is still bothering him but he's not screaming in agony. Poor guy. The pictures above are taken before we left for his doctors appointment. You can see by the expression on his face that he's hurting.

16 Weeks Old!!!

Say what?
My new Exersaucer!!!
