Is Jacob's Blog HOT or NOT? Rate it!

Jacob was born on June 21, 2002 via emergency C-section at 3:16 PM. This blog follows him through the NICU and the graduate nursery to his home—and we'll see where it goes from there!

It's been a very long time! I guess we've been busy chasing the boy around--he has quite the inexhaustible amount of energy, which far outstrips his parents'. We often find ourselves sitting on the couch laughing as Jacob runs around in circles in the middle of the room.

Jacob is doing very well! He's getting bigger all the time, and he sure is making a lot of noise although he isn't actually talking yet. He was just weighed at 24 1/2 lbs. and 33 inches tall. The dietician kept trying to get him to stand up and still with his heels against the wall so she could measure his height-ha! I told her over and over he was not going to stand there quietly, but she kept trying until he was screaming and upset. So we just laid him down on the infant measuring table. Whatever, all I know is the boy is not going to stand still for anything unless he is utterly fascinated by something.

So, he's now firmly on the growth chart, and looking pretty good! He had quite a growth spurt from his 2-year checkup at the pediatrician's on July 12. He keeps that up, he'll be "normal" sized in a year. He's perfect to us just as he is, though!

We found a new image posting program we'll use to upload new pictures of Jacob every once in a while. You can see the results below--Jacob was very tired after a long day of running around!
