5 Weeks

Jack turned 5 weeks old yesterday, man how time flies when you're not pregnant! He started to become pretty fussy about a week or so ago- really bad crying spells, acting like his tummy hurt, etc. We feared it might be the dreaded "colic" since he seemed to be easily soothed by things like riding in the stroller or the car. However, after this continued a few days and he started to not sleep very well, we decided to take him to the doctor on Thursday. The doctor thinks he is having some acid reflux and gave him a prescription to help. After giving Jack the medicine for just a couple of days, the change is amazing! He is so much happier and eating and sleeping much better. I am so glad that this seems to be working, and can only hope that he continues to feel better. Now he's smiling and cooing away!

Here are some more pics- it's amazing how many pictures we take per day!


Jack tries out his new head "positioners." He usually leans to the right to the point where it looks like he's going to break his neck!

A month old... can you believe it??

It's been one month, and he's already gained about 2 inches and 2 pounds... hence the chubby cheeks. He had a really busy weekend and got to meet all sorts of new friends and family. Plus, he had a great shower and now has enough clothes to fill his closet. We hope to see everyone again soon. In the meantime, here's some pictures to tide you over:

Asleep on dad's chest


And... he's out


So many questions...


Under the play station


Getting some cheeks now


Just plain cute


Stretching it out on the changing table


Out cold


Making faces with "uncle" Dustin


You go out, mom. I'll be fine.


The shirt says it all


It's tiring being me
