HELLO LOLA

We have made it through the first week home with Jake. He met Lola and they instantly became best friends. Lola loves Jake. Lola stays up at night with Daddy to take care of Jake so I can get a little bit of sleep and does and Sniff Check every hour to make sure her buddy is ok. When Jake is in the pack n play in our room she sits on the bed so she can see over the rails and watch him. Lola came upstairs with me to feed Jake one feeding and fell asleep at the foot of the bed. She was not awake when Daddy took Jake downstairs and she woke up in a panic looking for her friend. When she heard him sucking his pacifier she ran downstairs and sat next to him the rest of the night. The two of them love to go for walks together and Lola sits next to Jake when ever another dog walks by and does a sniff check on Jake whenever a person walks by his stroller. She is a good big sister.

Jake eats. And Eats. And Eats. Then he poops. Then he eats some more. He had a follow up with the Dr on saturday and in less than a week after being born he was already back to his birth weight. He is getting big and filling out. He has another Dr apt this week where he will get weighed. He is getting so big it will be interesting to see how much weight he has put on. His once noodle-y arms now have little fat creases on them and his cheeks are getting chubby. Even since we took these pictures at the start of the week he has grown a ton. He makes new faces every day. He has a stretching routine for when he wakes up to warm himself up for another feeding. He sleeps- just not at night or anytime consistently. He is staying awake longer and longer and loves to look around and is very shocked to see everything. He's a keeper.

" Did we just become best friends? " - " Yup" - "wanna go do karate in the garage? " -" Yup"

This is how we spend the early morning hours


Jake knows how to hold his own pacifier so it wont fall out. He is very dexterous.
