Welcome, Jesse!

Jesse Baker Covington arrived Wednesday, January 12 at 1:42 pm. He weighed 8 lb. 4 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. It's hard to believe that he is already a week old and that this time last week he was only a couple hours old. It seems like we just left the hospital, yet we can already tell that he is changing quickly. He has become more and more alert as the week has progressed (though if you have come to visit him, you probably wouldn't believe it because he has slept through all his visitors), and after 2 or 3 rough nights, he has proven himself to be a really great sleeper (as long as he has a full tummy). I hope to write more in the near future, but in the meantime there are feedings, diapers to change, clothes to wash, and there is a cute little boy who needs my attention. For now I'll leave you with these pictures.

Here he is bundled up for his first outing. We ventured out to Target today to buy him a swing. He slept the entire time.


And here he is in his new swing at home, still asleep and very cozy.
