Yesterday Jacob had his first visit to the pediatrician. It isn't surprising that he is less than 5-percentile for weight, height and head circumference. It will probably take him a few months to make it onto the charts. Jacob's now up to 5 pounds, 1 ounce. He gained about 6 ounces since his release from the hospital only 3 days before!
While Jacob was being weighed - his umbilical cord fell off. Which means that Jacob was able to have his first bath today. The fact that he pretty much slept throughout the entire bath told us that he didn't think it was all that terrible. It did seem that he really hated being taken out of the bath and getting cold though.
Check out that pot belly on Jacob - someone has been eating well!
This isn't Jacob crying, he is just yawning - it is so tiring to be given a bath.
Jacob was not so happy to leave the nice warm bath.

Keep those pictures coming. He truly is an adorable baby, especially for being early. No offense to my nephews - they are really cute now, but when they were babies and preemies, they looked like aliens. Jacob is just so adorable and tiny. Congrats on the weight gain - keep it up and he'll be on the charts soon!
Oh my gosh he is so cute! I am so happy he is doing so well! What a beautiful boy!
Love these pictures! Sure am missing the three of you.

Jacob looks so cute in his little doggie outfit. :-)
