Jacob got his two-week checkup today! The pediatrician tells us that he is doing "perfect," which is certainly encouraging for us to hear.
Fun baby statistics:
• Height is 21 ½ inches, only a half inch longer than at birth. That is, however, 80th percentile for a two week old.
• Head circumference is 14 inches, 20th percentile. (I believe this is an inch or two larger than at birth, but I'm not sure since the hospital told us centimeters, not inches, and I forgot the exact amount.)
• Weight is a whopping 9 pounds, 1 ounce! This is 1.5 pounds larger than his birth weight, and brings him up to 55th percentile.

Wow, Jacob! In words coined many years ago by your father, you're "growing like a beanstalk"! Good for you! By the way, we knew you were perfect - we didn't need the pediatrician to tell us -- but it's good to hear. Grandpa and I miss you very much. Tell your parents to keep sending those photos!
I love you.

Wow, what a bruiser! Wendy was only 8 lbs. 4 oz. at her one MONTH visit. By the time they meet, they'll likely be the same size!
More pics, more pics, post more pics!
hi
Hi I'm just figuring out how to use gmail. The pics are wonderful, and your baby boy Jacob is so handsome. Tell him cousin Julie and family says hi. Love you all and glad everyone is healthy and happy.

Such a beautiful, healthy little guy. We can tell he's a bundle of fun! Aunt Anne and Uncle Kevin already look comfortable with him. Keep up the good work!
Love, Great Aunt Kath
