Bumbo

This is Jacob trying out his Bumbo chair. He isn't supposed to use it until he can hold his head up on his own. He is really close!

I love to eat my arm

Weeks 8 - 10

Jake doing a little "tummy time" on the Boppy

Jake's first camping trip - sleeping in the laundry basket. We went to Florence AZ for the MS 150 bike ride. We had a good time, but Florence isn't a highly recommended camping spot!

Jake trying out his Bumbo seat. He isn't supposed to be in it yet, but we thought it would be fun to try. He is almost holding his head up well enough to use it.

"Sleeping" in Dad & Mom's big bed

Who does he look like?

We have decided to take a little poll to see who you think Jake looks more like.

(Chose your answer on the right hand side of the screen)

Brian?

Or Sara ... ?

"Super Jake"

This is a video from the hospital right after Jake was born. He had high Bilirubin levels (a.k.a. Jaundice) and had to be under the "Bili-Light" for a couple of days. The hospital put a lovely plain white eye mask on him to protect his eyes from the lights. Brian decided the mask was too boring and drew eyes on it. Somehow (probably due to our lack of sleep) we decided that Jake looked like a super hero in his lair - hence the following video.

Sweet Sleeping Baby

There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby ..

especially one holding his "ephalump" blankie

A couple of videos

I know Jake isn't "doing" anything very exciting right now, but here are a couple of video's anyhow. We think he's darn cute, even if he doesn't talk or walk yet. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video has got to be worth more!

Tummy Time

Blurry ... but still a cute picture!

Close ups!

I tried to get some pictures of Jake in different lighting (a change from the normally harsh light of the flash)... here are the results! Most of these were taken on Thursday March 5th, which would be during week 7. Enjoy!

Guess what .. more pictures!

Chillin' on the couch with Daddy

Check out my favorite "Onzie" from Uncle Erin ..
