Great Week

Jacob is making progress!!! This past week it has been amazing to see all the changes, little and big, in Jacob! He started to give kisses, and he doesn't like just one. It's usually like 10 kisses in a row- So sweet! He will laugh and smile when you kiss him back!! We haven't heard his blood curling screams for close to 2 weeks now. Praise be to God for healing our precious son!!!!! He still cries a little when he is hungry and tired, but not his scary creaming fits. He reaches for us too! He started to reach a little if yo held your arms out, but now he holds out his arms when he wants us. MELT.MY.HEART. I love that my son knows me and that I will take care of him and that I can comfort him!
The first few nights that we had Jacob he screamed literally every ten minutes and kept his hand on both of us to make sure we hadn't left him. He refused to sleep in his own crib, he preferred to be right next to mommy and daddy. It has been over 10 weeks since our Gotcha Day and his healing with sleep has been incredible. There have been slow changes since the beginning, but the big news is the past 2 nights Jacob slept in his crib all night. He is still waking up to eat 1-2 times a night, but when we woke up to tell me he wanted to eat, it was a normal baby cry-not screaming.
We are so thankful that God choose us to be his parents and that we get to give him lots of love and help him heal! We love him so much!! Our little guy gets 1000's of kisses everyday, I just can't help it!! :)
