Weather was overcast but the temperature was perfect. Jacob slept blissfully the entire time. Teddy got to swim and play fetch. Mom and Dad got out for a nice walk and much-needed fresh air - and PEETS coffee!!

My brother's girlfriend suggested giving us these amazing robes for Xmas and I cannot thank her enough.

... for the first time! I was a little on edge but Jacob seemed to love being walked around in the sling.

Quick! Before he wakes up!

 

This might be our 'mantra' for a while - I didn't succeed in getting Jacob's face in this one, but at least you can see how happy WE are! Peter is amazing - running around doing seemingly everything else besides feeding the baby.  We are working on our routine, but it's tough when there are people (i.e., my mom) waiting in the wings, ready to descend on my precious little one and coochy-coo him til he screams. But there again, Peter is the protective papa and taking great care of us.  Baby just woke up - more soon!
