2 months!!

I can't believe my baby is 2 months old already. He is growing like a weed! We went to the Dr yesterday for his check-up and he is 14 lbs and 24.5 inches long. That is the 99 percentile for height and weight. I knew he was a big boy, but that just seems huge. I guess that's what you get with 2 tall parents!

Jacob is still such a good baby. He is very content most of the time. He has started smiling more and more every day. He is on the verge of laughing. I know it will come out one of these days. It truly melts my heart to have him smile at me! The only time he gets upset is when he is hungry, and he gets hysterical until he is fed, and then he is fine. He had been sleeping 6-7 hours at a time, but he is back to wanting to eat every 3-4 hours. I can't wait until we can get a little more sleep!

Kirk and I have decided that I am going to be a stay at home mom. I feel so blessed to be able to be home with Jacob. Being in Nashville without any family around, it made the most sense for me to be home with him.

I can't wait to see what the upcoming months hold for Jacob. He seems to be learning more and more every day. He brings Kirk and I so much happiness and joy. We feel so lucky to be his parents. Here are some pictures of Jacob at 2 months old.

Jacobs baptism

This past week we were able to go to Kansas City and spend time with the McCullough's. While we were there, we had Jacob baptised. The baptism took place at Church of the Holy Rosary in Wea, KS which is the McCullough's parish. After the baptism, they had a party at their home and Jacob was able to meet a lot of family!

Jacob in his baptismal gown. This gown was worn by Grandaddy McCullough and all of his brothers and all of Jacob's uncles. It is over 50 years old. His great grandmother McCullough was able to attend the baptism and was very surprised to see him wearing the gown after all these years. It was very special.

Carolyn and Gerard are Jacob's god-parents. It meant a lot to us to have them with us and be such a special part of Jacob's life.

Jacob being baptized. He screamed throughout the entire thing. He was very hungry! After we fed him, he was all smiles again.

With both sets of grand-parents. It meant so much to us to have them all there with us.
