Little Jacob had lots of people who were anxious to meet him during his first few days of life! He also had two big sisters who were excited to finally be able to hold him. We were very lucky that my Mom and Dad were able to be here for the first week and help us out so much. They kept the girls very busy while Jacob and I rested and got used to each other!

| Gabi loves to hold Jacob. She is so good with him...singing and gently moving his arms to music like he is dancing! |

About Jacob's name...Jacob David Hall. I've always loved the name Jacob. Since we decided to keep the tradition of (most of the) men on the Hall side having the initials JDH, Jacob was an easy decision for a 'J' name for a boy. Joe, his Grandpa, and his Great-Grandpa all have the initials JDH. The Hall ranch brand is also JH. His middle name, David, is after Joe's dad. It also turns out that Jacob is the name of Phyllis's grandfather!

The dressing up is starting already...Maya put these barrettes in Jacob's hair! I'm surprised Joe let her do that!
 |
| Jacob went on his first hike at 6 days old. My Mom and the girls walked a couple miles with Gabi & Maya along Clear Creek in town. He seems to really like the ErgoBaby carrier so far, so that is good! |
He is doing so well and is a grand-champion eater! It makes me a little sad to know that he will get big so fast! I've been trying to slow myself down and just spend time holding him and enjoying him. This will be our last, so we're trying to enjoy every single second.
