Happy One Week Birthday!

 Jake turned one week old today! He is doing great, continuing to eat and sleep and poop and pee pretty regularly. He even stays awake for an hour or two at a time, just sitting quietly and looking around.

Here are some close-up portraits of the little man.

Welcome Home, Jake

 Here are some pictures of Jake's first night and morning at home.

Jake was awake and alert during the whole car ride home, and did not cry or fuss. When he got home, he hung out on Mommy and Daddy's bed for awhile and let the whole family admire him.

Jake and Big Brother. Luke has been so wonderful. He ran to get stuffed animal friends for his brother and was trying to be careful to be quiet. He particular admired Jake's small hands.

Big yawn. Jake's first night was quiet and uneventful. He ate well and slept well in between feedings.

Little cutie!

Meeting the Family

On Sunday morning, Jake got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa and Big Brother Luke.

First cuddle by Grandma, with many more to come!

Luke was curious but shy

You can't tell here, but Luke is very proud to be a big brother.

Sweet boy!

Looking right into the camera. When he's awake, Jake looks around and focuses on objects and takes it all in.

He's Here!

Jacob Evans Siorek was born on August 19, 2012 at 1:21 am. 

He was 7lbs 3oz and 21" long.

Here he is only about 5 minutes old. Look at how alert he is! He is already a very smart and curious boy.

First weigh-in!

Enjoying his first bath.

Jake and Katie. Katie was incredible. She gave birth to Jacob naturally, without medication, with the most amazing physical and mental strength I have ever seen. Our family is beyond blessed to have Jacob in our lives. He is a little light.
