So much has happened since I last updated our site!

 We had our first family and Jacobs first photos done on May 8th and they turned out wonderful! We found a girl in Rowlett through another friend to do them for us and I can't wait to be able to share them all with you! You can see a few of Jacob on her site at www.photography-by-kelli.com. It will be a few weeks before I have the CD to put them on the site!

Travis has come and gone twice now. The first time he came home was for our pictures and to celebrate an early Mother's Day (he was not here on the day). He left and came back again because he had to finish up his finals. He has been amazed both times at how much Jacob has changed each time he leaves and comes back. This time he will be gone for 3 weeks and then he comes home to move us!

I have gotten Jacob back in his crib which is pretty amazing. We all sleep much better at night this way. I have also started a routine with him and it has been working wonderfully :) We eat 6 oz. at 7, take a bath at 8:30, and we are in the bed snoozing at 9! Go Jacob! He will then sleep until about 1 and we are up long enough to eat another 4-6 oz. and then we are back down until about 5 :) We are so lucky.

I had to quit nursing which has made me really unhappy, but I couldn't let my baby starve. I just couldn't produce enough for my little man to be satisfied which meant no one got any sleep and he was a hungry little monster all the time. We have switched over to Enfamil Lipil formula and he has taken quite the liking to it so far. We are now up to about 6 oz. with every feeding. If he keeps growing like he is, I won't be able to carry him around much longer! He is a BIG boy :)
