Hey Jakey,

You seem to weigh about twice as much today as you did yesterday. You're growing right before our eyes.

I'm starting to compile the many faces of Jake:

Nursing Jake: very earnest, no-nonsense, and down to business. Straight-ahead stare, a very serious little boy.

Sleepy Jake (side): your little, curled-up Fetal Pig face. Big pouty lips and squished-up eyes.

Sleepy Jake (back): inscrutable little Chinese boy. Very peaceful, very pretty.

Awakey-Jakey: Curious, playful, with big eyes to soak in everything, mouth open in wonderment.

Uncomfortable Jake: Cartoon-like pouty frown, eyes tightly shut, alternating with screamy, wide-open mouth. Breaks a mama's heart.

Who are you really, Jake? You're a different boy everytime I look at you. You startle me with your quicksilver ways and expressive eyes. Every day you amaze me even more. I love you.
