Weekend Update (a bit late)

(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)

Jacob had quite a weekend. Not only did he get to meet new people, but he got to try at least one new thing (that we know of).

Mike and Melissa Noll were in town from Ohio, so they were able to come over for a while on Saturday. We watched the NFL Draft, grilled out, and spent a lot of time holding Jake.

After the Red Wings lost game 5 I needed to blow off some steam, so we took Jake for his first walk! He really seemed to enjoy the stroller. He was wide awake before the walk, and seemed to fall asleep as soon as he was in motion. When we stopped for a picture - eyes open; start moving again - eyes closed. I guess we have a new trick for a fussy baby once the weather settles down and stays nice!

On Sunday, Jacob got to meet Jen as she made a solo trip over to Livonia.

On Monday, our friend Andy, in from Chicago, managed to swing by and spend some time with Michele and Jacob.

This afternoon Jacob got to see a different kind of doctor. Jake had his eyes checked out by an opthamologist. Apparently premature babies can have issues with their retinas. Jake's looked fine, but as expected, his eye muscles aren't too strong yet. He has to go back again in six months to make sure they've gotten stronger.

Hopefully you've subscribed to our feed either through RSS or email (check out the "Helpful Hints" for more info). The RSS feed will tell you almost instantly when the site's been updated, email will tell you the following day. As our son seems to be demanding more attention as his sleeping hours dwindle, we'll have less time to update this blog, but we're going to shoot for at LEAST once a week.
