Bath time!

Jacob got his first official bath today. His umbilical cord came off 2 days ago and it's taken us a little time to get around to actually bathing him. I'm pretty sure that mere minutes passed between the time the girls' cord fell off and when we had them in their first bath...poor 3rd child! ;)

Needless to say, he did great and after a few scowls initially settled in and enjoyed his bath time. I have to say there is nothing quite like cuddling up to a freshly washed baby and smelling their sweet baby smell...I just love it!

With Bella's help I managed to snap a few pictures and here is one of our little man enjoying the water...

A few stats...

Jacob had his first follow up appt. at 4 days old and he weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. -- down 9 ounces from his birth weight. His length and head circumference stayed the same.

A week later (yesterday) at 11 days old he had gained 13 ounces putting him at 8 lbs. 10 oz. Length and head circumference were the same still which means he's just getting chubbier. Looks like mama's milk has been doing it's job!

Other than that, he's as healthy as can be. He's still so incredibly content and such a little love.

I have had several requests for more pictures and will do my best to get some posted soon!
