Jacoby is getting bigger and bigger everyday. He is such a sweetie and is pretty dang cute if I do say so myself. We have a couple of big weeks coming up for this little guy. His Grandma and Grandpa Jostes and Uncle Collin are coming to meet him tomorrow. Next week he will be taking his first airplane trip to Boise. We had to wait until he was six weeks old to fly with him but I am so excited to take him home! I can't wait to have him meet his Paka (my dad) along with the rest of the fam!!
Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon nap with the best cuddler! He is so funny when he is trying to get comfortable, he will maneuver you and him to the perfect position before he sighs and snuggles in.
He was mighty comfy in this spot! Jacoby is actually a pretty good sleeper. We usually put him down between 11-12, he gets up between 4-5 and again between 7-8. Not too bad!
Look at those skinny legs. He is getting really long and his face has filled out more but we still don't have very much meat on those leggies.
He loves spending time on his tummy! Jake is so strong and already does pretty good controlling his neck. At a week old in the middle of the night I looked in the bassinet and this little guy was on his tummy. I woke up Jarod to ask why in the world he had put him on his tummy but he hadn't Jake was on his side and he had turned over on his own. Since then he has done it two more times during tummy time but he is not meaning to do it yet and we can wait a little while for that :)
The last time we got to wear these newborn jammies. It's official I can no longer squeeze him into the newborn jammies at 6 weeks but he is way too small for 0-3. He grew out of his newborn diapers at 3 1/2 weeks as well. He is getting so big!
Look at me holding up my head! Those big blue eyes melt me every time! They are exactly the same color as Jarod's right now.
Daddy rushes home from work everyday to see us! Last week was my first week by myself and we survived! Dad had a hard time going back to work and school after having the last month off though. We miss him when he isn't here!
Jacoby is starting to make the funniest faces! He smiled at us for the first time on Monday morning so two days shy of six weeks. I was changing his diaper and was singing to him, he had the cutest smile for me! I was so excited that I didn't even do up his jammies before I took him into his dad's office to tell him the news. As we were telling Jarod he smiled at his daddy as well! So we both got one that morning!
He is doing this funny thing with his eyebrows now. Not sure what it means but it looks like he is about to cry but he doesn't. I think it is the "are you serious mom" look or "stop kissing me please" look.
Jacoby went on his first airplane ride when he was seven weeks and two days old! We flew from Chicago to Las Vegas and had an hour lay over and then flew to Boise. He was GREAT!! We got up really early that morning so I left him in his jammies for the first leg of the flight. He slept pretty much the entire time and woke up to eat before we landed in Vegas.
He was such a good baby and I am so glad!! We need a good traveler with all the traveling we do. He was also incredible on the flight back to Chicago. I was really nervous about flying home with him on my own since Jarod was only in Boise for the weekend and I stayed the remainder of the week but we did great!!
They didn't have a changing table on the plane so the flight attendant put down a bag on the toilet seat and our changing pad and Jarod changed him while trying to hold Jacoby on the seat while flying. I was impressed! I just couldn't figure out what was taking so long but considering the balancing act he was a lot faster than I would have been.
