Two months Old!

Well, it has been much too long since we've had an update!  Just wanted to share a few updates about Jacob.  Jacob has been growing and gaining weight really well, and continues to bottle feed pretty well.  He is up to almost 10.5 lbs!  A week or so ago he celebrated his 2 month birthday!

Then

Now



















It is hard to believe how much he has grown and how far he has come!

Friday he went to the pediatrician for his 2 month shots (4 of them).  Needless to say, Friday night and Saturday weren't a lot of fun, as he was feeling a little crummy.  But he is back to his normal self now and still managed to gain plenty of weight today!  He is on a every 2 week appointment schedule now finally with the cardiologist and every month with the pediatrician.  That makes our lives a bit easier!

We've had a nurse now for several weeks and she has been great.  She does an excellent job taking care of Jacob and will hold him all day if that is what he is in the mood for!  For now we are doing 8 hours a day until the end of the month.  Starting in December, we'll probably go to 4 hours a day so that we can keep the nursing for longer, hopefully till his next surgery.  Our current nurse will be leaving us at the end of the month, so we are hoping for another good one the next time!

Jacob is definitely developing well.  He is much more active during the day now, and coos a lot and definitely moves his arms and legs a lot.  He is a handsome little boy and loves to snuggle!

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers, Jacob sends his love!
