one month old

It already has been a whole month. Unbelievable. First, how has the time gone by so quickly? Second, it seems like we have been a family of three forever, its hard to imagine life without Jake. He was born weighing 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 inches long. He is now 10 lbs and 22 inches. I think that the weight to length ratio indicates that he is putting on chubby cheeks and has started to develop creases in chubby arms and legs. As he should be doing. You hate to say it, but he changes everyday and he looks so different even one month later. A milestone for the one month mark: for the first time ever, Jake fits into a sleeper. What does Jake think? "Wheee being one month old is great!"
You can't help but gaze at him and imagine Jake The Little Boy, Jake The Big Boy, Jake The Teenager, Jake The Young Man...well you get the idea. As new parents we hope to give Jake the love and support that he needs to become the best person that he can.
