The Crew to Keep Jacob Content!!

Here's some more photos of the extremely helpful crew that has worked so hard the past few days at keeping Jacob fed, bathed, changed, and most of all...HAPPY!!
Emma has fed Jacob a few times already and does a wonderful job! Twice now, she has been the one he wants to sit with and actually stays content, looking around at everything!
Anna, somehow, ends up getting Jacob whenever he is ready to throw a fit! It doesn't even phase her! She sits with a smile on her face holding him tight as he throws himself around in frustration!
Ella, LOVES holding Jacob!!! That's all the poor girl wants to do and unfortunately, Jacob does not cooperate as much as Ella prefers!! She has helped feed him and does a very good job telling him, "SHHHHH" when he's crying and talking baby babble to him when he's happy... if only we could understand what she was babbling to him!
Aunt Karen has made it her goal to figure Jacob out! She's doing a pretty good job of it and is doing a great job at giving us a break! Who knows how many times she has fed him, changed him, and put him to sleep for us!!
Uncle Chris to the rescue! Uncle Chris is always there when nothing else works! Somehow, someway, Jacob calms immediately following being placed in Uncle Chris's arms! He has the touch for sure!!
Aunt Kori is really getting comfortable with all the maneuvers Jacob demands in order to stay happy. She has stepped in many times now to relieve us from an unhappy Jacob!
Aunt Kendall, well, hmmm Aunt Kendall! She's doing better! She's working at loosening up while she's holding Jacob and her dancing with him does seem to work sometimes, although it leaves the rest of us on the floor laughing at her!
Aunt Kelly and Uncle Nick arrived last night and haven't had too many opportunities to deal with young Jacob! Aunt Kelly's fed him and taken many pictures and Uncle Nick may not realize that he will not be leaving until he holds his nephew!
We have to include Uncle Mike on this post also as last night during a serious poker match with Uncle Nick, Daddy, Aunt Kendall, and Mommy he jumped at the opportunity to feed a very hungry Jacob!
We thank all of you for giving us so much help so far and we look forward to spending the rest of weekend watching Jacob getting to know all of you!
We're anticipating the arrival of Grandma and Grandpa Cooper and Great-Grandma Budke any minute!
