The May Update



Sorry that I have not been keeping up this blog the past month. At the end of April, our neighbors moved and they took their internet that we’ve been sharing with them. While it has been fun not having internet (NOT), it has been hard to update everyone about our lives and Jacob. Hopefully this post will catch everyone up.

Latest News
We are moving to Texas on June 9th! We are so excited to be finally moving out of our tiny apartment and moving into our brand new apartment. We are thrilled about this new apartment for a couple of reasons. First, we’ll get a bigger apartment. Jacob will finally have his own room, instead of the living room being his room. Second, we’ll get better amenities: dishwasher, air conditioner, washer/dryer, and a larger kitchen. Yes, we have been living in a cave the past couple of years. But this apartment won’t be available until July, so my sister has been so kind to let us stay at her place until the apartment is available (Thanks Rach!).

Chris is starting his capstone course this week at pharmacy school. After Jacob was born, Chris did not have to go back to doing his pharmacy rotations and was able to spend the last 8 weeks at home with Jacob and I. Having him home has been such a huge blessing, but he has to go back to school now. Only one more week of school for him and then he officially graduates with his Doctorate of Pharmacy (PharmD) and starts his residency.  He will start his residency at Baylor All Saints on June 17th and we are very excited!

Jacob

Jacob is continuing to thrive. It is amazing how fast he is growing. He has past many development milestones. He can hold his head up 90 degrees on his tummy. He recognizes when I’m asking a question and coos back to me. He can follow a large object around when it is held in front of him. He is starting to explore objects with his mouth, mostly his hands. He is starting to smile spontaneously; it always melts our hearts when he does this. He went through his 6 week growth spurt and has gotten noticeably bigger. This week he is going in for his two month appointment so we’ll find out how much he has physically grown. He continues to be a wonderful baby and we love having him in our family. 
Isn't that the cutest sad face?
Look at the monkey!
