Christmas Pictures

We decided to send out a Christmas card this year with a family picture on it. We just set up the camera in our front room next to the Christmas tree. The pictures turned out pretty good, but we had a hard time getting Jacoby to fully face the camera. After we got a decent family photo, we tried to get one of just Jacoby in his cute little Christmas onesie, but he wasn't having anything to do with it. Oh well.

Little Naked Bum

I love baby's bum's. I think that they are so cute, so I decided that we had to have naked bum pictures of Jacoby. He doesn't have much of a bum, but I had to take pictures of it. If he ends up like his dad, he'll end up naked most of his childhood so a few pictures at 5 weeks old isn't going to matter.

Dress up

I had so many cute clothes for Jacoby and I couldn't wait to dress him in them. The problem was that he was so small when he was born, most of his clothes were huge. I couldn't wait though, and had to try out some of his cute outfits. The pants that I put on him in both pictures were 0-3 month and he was a month old!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at the Wilson's! I dressed Jacoby up in a cute little outfit and off we went. It was the first time that many friends and relatives got to see Jacoby and he was passed around like a hot potato. Jacoby mostly slept through it all and didn't really care.



Grandma and Grandpa Speer couldn't wait to see Jacoby again. When they arrived, it turned into a "My Turn" tug-of-war with the baby. It was fun to watch.

Bath Time!

8 days after Jacoby was born, his umbilical stump fell off. I was able to start giving him real baths. I didn't care for bathing him in the kitchen sink, and I had a baby bath tub, but I didn't like that either. I found it easiest just to put him in a couple inches of water in the big bath tub. These pictures weren't his first bath, but close. These were taken Thanksgiving morning as we were getting him ready to go the the Wilson's. He's so going to hate me when he gets bigger for posting nude pictures of him on the internet!




After his bath, I cuddled him close to me to warm him up. Dominic thought it was a great picture of Jacoby, but my nose looks huge! :)

Tummy Time!

While doing "tummy time" one night, Dominic got the camera out and took some fantastic pictures of baby Jacoby. He was just a little over 2 weeks old and he looks so cute!




This was taken the same night, we had rolled him over and I was going to get him dressed for bed. He had the skinniest little legs! The outfit and onesie that he was wearing are the newborn size, and you can see that they are still baggy on him.



These pictures were taken a few nights later. The best way to cuddle with him was to lay belly to belly because he was so small. Proud papa and his son....

Visitors

We had so many people come to welcome little Jacoby to this world. It was a very busy week after he was born with people stopping by and wishing us all well. Grandma and Grandpa Speer were over the moon. Jacoby is their first grandchild and they have been waiting a long time for one! Dominic called them when my water broke and they made it to Logan just after Jacoby's first bath.


Grandma and Grandpa Allen also came over to give us well-wishes. Grandma was actually in the hospital when Jacoby was born and she was the first one to hold him (other than mom and dad, of course). Jacoby was my parents 15th grandchild!


Many others stopped by and gave us love. We appreciated everybody!
