The First Two Weeks

Well, so far so good. We are slowly adapting to our new family configuration. The road thus far has had some bumps, but mostly it has been pretty good. Sophia is still learning what it means to be a big sister and is also learning the "joys" of time outs.

This week marked Jacob's two week check up. So I packed him up and we trekked over to see Dr. McMeekin-Down. She took a good look at him, although he kept his eyes firmly closed so she couldn't check them, and gave us a clean bill of health. Jacob is growing and filling in even though he is such a little creature.

Here are his vital stats at birth:
WEIGHT - 2.61 Kg
LENGTH - 46.5 cm
HEAD - 31.5

And his stats this week:
WEIGHT - 3.0 Kg
LENGTH - 46.5 Cm
HEAD - 34.0 cm

I am not convinced that his head grew 3 cm while he stayed the same for length. But that's what the friendly medical office assistant told me. Anyway, the main point is that Jacob is gaining weight which indicates he is getting plenty to eat. What a good cow I am!


A typical "old man" look. Clearly unimpressed at whatever was happening...not unusal, though.

Just hanging out

He is a cutie...
