This just makes me happy.
Last night, we spent some time with the Schoolers and the Hsias. The Schoolers' son, Luke, is 5 1/2 months old and was very excited when he saw Jacob. Here is the video of them meeting.
Well, we finally decided that it was time to update our blog. So much has happened since the last post. The most exciting event has been the arrival of our son Jacob.
Since his birth, we've been busy changing diapers, feeding, and trying to get some sleep. Things are starting to settle down, and I think we're finally getting the hang of being parents. Here are some things we've learned about parenthood:
1) Babies have explosive poo. Sometimes it can get all over your clothes, or in Tim's case, it can get in your eye.
2) As babies gain weight, they develop leg folds. Poo likes to hide in these folds.
3) Don't believe what people say about baby poo not smelling bad if they are breastfed. The poo and farts smell just as bad as adults.
4) Never underestimate the power of a vibrating chair.
5) Sleep training really does work.
6) The first six weeks of a baby's life makes you wonder why you decided to have a child.
7) After the first six weeks, you are glad that you decided to have a child.
8) You learn how to inhale a meal within minutes.
9) Even if you leave the house 10 minutes before you really have to leave, you're still late.
10) When your baby smiles at you for the first time, it melts your heart.
We spent Jacob's first Christmas in Houston. We had a good time hanging out with friends and family. Here are some pictures from our time there.
