Jacoby's First Photo Shoot

When my mom was here we had a fun little photo shoot with Jacoby. Well we thought it was a lot more fun than he did. Here are some of the shots that we got that day. We did lots of outfit changes but I am holding on to some of the others for another day!

2 week old cutie!

Our little family! I love these boys so much.

This is one of my favorite pictures! He is so content and happy. I think we have a little model on our hands or maybe he is just trying to be like Uncle Rob.

Wide awake with those big blue eyes that are changing every day.

That is his mommy's nose for sure! There is no denying it.

This is what I look like with no sleep and no make up. I am not even sure if I got my teeth or hair brushed yet and this was late in the afternoon. I wouldn't trade it for anything though.

Jacoby in his snowman outfit. We thought it was fitting considering the blizzard we have been having lately along with the -30 temps. Let's just say Jake hasn't ventured out much yet. We stay inside and snuggle with mommy and daddy.

We took this picture this afternoon. He was out and was drooling. Nothing is sweeter than a sleeping baby especially one with his mouth wide open drooling.

Our Sweet Little Boy

I know I am a little behind posting pictures of my little guy, but this is what I spend my days doing now and I cannot think of a better way!!! Jacoby is doing great! He is such a cuddler and has such a sweet spirit about him. We are so happy to have him here and the last two weeks have been incredible!

Tired boys in the hospital. Jarod is such a wonderful daddy and has been absolutely wonderful in supporting his emotional wife.

One of our many faces we make.

Getting ready to go home from the hospital on Friday afternoon. We bought this little outfit in Dublin. The same day I felt Jacoby move inside of me for the first time. He was so cute in it!!

Jarod was so funny driving us home. I wasn't allowed to talk and he was 10 and 2 the whole way home and shaking. It was really cold outside and it was snowing. It was snowing the night that Jacoby was born as well.

In our cute little outfit with the hat that Great Grandma Gill knitted for him.

My boys! I love this picture. Jake is so content and so is his Daddy!!

He loves sleeping on my chest. It is his favorite place to be.

Jacoby's first sponge bath. He liked it! Even though he is looking at me wondering what the heck just happened because it happened so fast. I think we could have set a world record on how fast we had him in and out with the help of his dad. I was trying to take pictures and only had time to snap one picture and he was done. Jarod was afraid he was going to get cold.

These pictures are a from last week. I will try and download some new ones here soon. We are doing great! My mom flew in last Monday night and left yesterday. It was hard to have her leave! It was so nice to have her here to help me and to meet Jacoby. He loves his Mamma. Thanks Mom so much for everything!!! We love you and can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

It's a BOY!!!!

20 1/2 inches long

Our precious baby boy arrived after 15 1/2 hours of labor on December 3, 2008 at 9:55 pm!! He is 7 lbs. 1 ounce and 20 1/2 inches long. Mommy and Jake are doing great!! We came home from the hospital yesterday and have just been enjoying our time together with this little one. He loves to snuggle and the only thing he likes better than that is eating.

We couldn't be happier and we are so in love with our new little guy!
