Here are some highlights from his last month
-he has gotten 3 teeth
-loves swimming and loves to splash and kick
-gained at least 3 pounds
-met lots of family and friends
-can sit up all by himself
-started to scoot backwards
-found his voice and likes to scream
-eats 2 jars of baby food everyday now
We have been home for almost 3 weeks now and its amazing to see how much he has changed and grown since he has been home. Someone asked us if we are overwhelmed being first time parents at home. We both laughed and said it has been so much easier since we have been home. In Ethiopia we hardly had anything to help with Jacob. We have really enjoyed the high chair at meal times and Jacob likes to be in the exersaucer for short periods of the time. Also while we were in Ethiopia Jacob would only take two 30 minute naps, but since we have been home he will sleep in the swing for at least an hour in the morning! That's about the only time of day that I get anything done! :)
He continues to wake up several times a night, usually to eat about 3 times and a couple other times to make sure we are there. He goes back to sleep quickly, thankfully! I'm thankful I don't have to go back to work until August-it makes the middle of the night feedings a lot easier. I also love that I am able to comfort Jacob and meet his needs. He had many nights of not having anyone giving him one-on-one attention. I am thankful that God is letting me be the one that can comfort him in the middle of the night! Just an FYI-Brad is still working so I let him try to get some sleep! He is a very helpful Dad too!
