3 weeks old

Well here we are for our weekly pictures. :D Jake is 3 weeks old today and we also hit a landmark...Jake lost his belly button cord today. Went to change him a little bit ago and it was loose in his pjs. :) So its been a big week as he lost his ring from his circumcision on Friday. Our little boy is already growing up. :)

Today is the first whole day where its just Ryan, Jake and me without the help of our parents. And so far I think we are doing pretty well. :) Our parents were so awesome and each took a week once we were home from the hospital to help us out. After I had a C-section they were an amazing help to me and I do not know what I would have done without them. Now Ryan is off work for his baby bonding time for the next 6 weeks and so now we can have our time and he can help out. But thank you so much Mom(s) and Dad(s)...we love you and you are both so awesome!!!!

I am doing well so far...we are starting to see what I can do right now and so far I can walk around with Jake, take him to his room for a diaper change on the nice high changing table attached to the crib, and with the help of a chair I can sit next to him in the pack-N-play and lift him in and out of it. So I am getting better. :) Would have been a lot easier if my son were not over the 10 lb lifting limit that you have after a c-section. hehe But we are doing great.

And Jake is doing fantastic!!! He is getting stronger and still loves to cuddle. He is still sleeping well and these days is going to sleep at 11, waking at 3 and then sleeping till 6 or 6:30am. So we are still quite lucky.

But here are the pictures that you probably scrolled ahead for anyway. ;)

Dad and Jake, just hanging out :D

Jake in his little sports outfit...even has tennis shoe socks. hehe

Our little boy is quite the mello kid, as can be seen by this picture of him sleeping

I love this picture that his Grandma Brown took, he really is getting stronger and stronger...although he was only able to hold this for about 2 seconds...but it is so cute. Amazing he can do this at 3 weeks.
