Aunt Dana came to visit you today. She is very nervous and anxious around babies and usually never holds them, but SHE HELD YOU! Well she held you until you got the hiccups, passed you to your mommy and then wanted you back.

Today you met your Great Grandparents on Pat's mom's side. They were on their way to Florida and stopped in to see you. They were very excited to meet you, even though you weren't feeling very well. Hopefully next time they visit you'll be feeling much better!

Sick baby and messy house ALERT! You've been stuffy and fussy and wailing and that is totally not the normal Jack we know...sure enough you had a fever and your sick. It's been a long week because my milk supply decreased, so today we went to a lactation consultant and also the pediatrician. You have an upper respiratory cold virus, Dr. Hodson said there's not much we can do for a newborn, but to call if you get worse. Unfortunately your cold lasted a while..over 10 days and you started to get worse before you got better. Poor little man I hate seeing you like this!

HAIR!!

Your hair after bathtime is HILARIOUS. It sticks straight up! Lila likes to be right at my feet wherever we are going!

New bath tub

So, we got another bath tub, because we thought you were getting too cold in the other and you somewhat liked it! Of course you had a few screams to let us know you weren't too happy, but it wasn't as bad! The only part of the bath you really like is getting your hair washed!

3-1-11 Tummy Time

You LOVE tummytime! So does Lila...she thinks the playmat is for her. You kick your legs and even get over the little pillow by kicking at 4 weeks :). Eventually you tire out and want to be held, but we try to do this atleast once a day to build you neck muscles up.

1st Bath

Well your first bath after your cord/circumcision was horrible! We used a bathmat that you hated and you screamed the whole time~obviously. We bought another bath tub after this and you are SOO MUCH happier in that. You still aren't very fond of bathtime but we have become very quick at bathtime and make sure we have everything prepared before little Jack even gets wet.

Daddy goes to work

Your dad has been working hard for us! He went back to work 3 days after you were brought home because his firm was very busy that week. We did great at home without him and send picture texts throughout the day on what we're up to at home.

Feb2011

Off to your first Doctor's appointment! You love your carseat...well once your in it and we are carrying you. You hate sitting still so daddy usually rocks/carries your carseat around and you'll stay content. We go to Dr. Hodson and she is also James' pediatrician. She was very sweet and gave us so much encouragement to continue breastfeeding and that you were perfect and doing great!! Everyone had to take a peek at you and just loved your crazy hair! We actually got to skip our next two appointments because your weight increase was so great!
