7 Weeks...WOW!

Well we have reached our 7th week and still doing great! Jacob is getting bigger by the second and I'm amazed every time we hang out with friends of ours that have an infant around the same age how much bigger Jacob is. He is fitting 3 month sizes perfectly and some are even getting a little snug on him. I hope that he doesn't get too big too fast! :) We have had all sorts of fun this last month. Grandma Hanks came up for a visit and Jacob had a blast being held and cuddled the whole time. We took a trip to Portland and visited our friends Seth and Megan who are doing great and make an amazing Pad Tia. Then we spent the day in Portland making it Jacob's first time staying in a hotel room. He did GREAT by the way! Finally we drove south and visited Mark, Katie, Henry and Savannah who was 1 week old. The pictures of her and Jacob are hilarious because Jacob is giant compared to her. We had a blast and Jacob did great for his first really long road trip. So since that time went so well we decided the very next weekend to join my parents at Seaside. We stayed in a cute little house right on the beach and played on the beach. We flew kites and played cards and had a wonderful time. We are loving being parents and daily we are learning more and more of Jacob's personality. Like for instance he hates going down for naps and fights sleep like none other. However he does pretty good at night. Still not sleeping through the night yet but hopefully soon. He has started to smile and I think I almost heard a giggle. I've been enjoying listening to him find his voice and make new and different cooing sounds each day. He's just so cute. Enjoy the Pics!
