First Teeth, First Cold

What a week for Jacob! On Monday, Jacob's first teeth cut through the gums. The two bottom center teeth are coming in. Now he's learning what he can do with them ... like bite. No worries. He's pretty well behaved while nursing.

His other first of the week is not as fun - his first cold. Jacob has been pretty congested for the last 24 hours. Last night offered very little sleep for me and Caroline as we took turns holding him upright so he could fall asleep and drain his sinuses. Caroline made a MacGyver-like adjustment to his bassinet so he could be propped up while sleeping. It was great and helped Jacob sleep really well.

Last but not least, Jacob is working really hard on sitting up on his own (see picture to the right)! He can stay up for at least 30 to 60 seconds before tumbling over.

Well, the peanut has finally awoken from his extended sleep. That means it's time for his second breakfast. Here I come Jake!
