Sick boy.

Our little man has a cold. It makes me mad, because I'm breastfeeding, I didn't think he'd get sick so early. He's congested, coughing and has a bit of a hoarse voice, but no temperature, and he's not fussy. He's his normal happy self, so that's good.

Here's some of my latest pictures of the day...

I got a bunch of new diapers! I never had any idea how exciting new diapers would be!! I got a bunch of different kinds to try out. They are so darn cute!



Jack and I had our first trip to the library. I wanted to pick up a book that Rachel recommended. It's a sleep book, because Jack doesn't nap well. He slept the whole trip to the library to pick up the book. Too funny.


Jack has a cradle cap problem, so I comb some stuff onto his head before his baths to help. I always give him a little mohawk with what little hair he has.


Jack fell asleep in John's arms last night and he just looked so sweet.



Jack noticed his mobile for the first time on his swing today. He loved it!


I got a baby yoga book at the library too, and Jack and I did yoga today. He loved it!


I finished scrapbooking Jack's birth. Here are the pages I did.

First day back!

Photo of the day for today. Yes, I went to work today. For 4 hours. It was wonderful! I loved the break from Jack, I loved seeing my coworkers again, and I really enjoyed seeing a couple of patients. I also loved fitting into my scrubs so well, and not having to squeeze them over a HUGE belly. I also loved leaving at lunchtime. And I loved knowing I don't have to go back on Monday. It's perfect!

Last Sunday, we went to a Superbowl party at John's Aunt and Uncle's house and they have a new grandchild, Ben, who Jack got to meet for the first time.


They were sitting next to each other, but they have no idea the other one is there.

Uncle Pat caught this moment shortly after we arrived. The new daddy's and their boys.


We had our first Dr.'s appointment last night that wasn't a well visit. Jack was super congested and we thought he had a low fever, but turns out he's fine, just really congested from the dry heat. I can't wait for warm weather so our little boy knows how easy breathing really is! He's been congested since he was born!

He's NAPPING!!!

Jack is currently napping in his swing. He never naps. Let me rephrase that. He only naps on me, or with me. Never by himself. He is napping in his swing!! This is wonderful! So, that is my photo of the day for today!

I was going to post photos of the nursery, but I left my point and shoot and my mom's house, which is where the pitures are. So, you will have to settle for cute photos of my son.

Oh, here is something people have been wanting to see. The quilt that my sister in law Rachel made from the squares that everyone at my shower did. It turned out great! We love it!




Jack has been loving grabbing and holding onto his keys that his cousin Marcel got him for Christmas. They are so easy to hold!





And here he is having fun with Nana! He loves the ABC song!




Nursery pictures soon!

FINALLY!

I don't know why I consider 10 lbs such a milestone, but, Jack has been SO slow to gain weight we were very excited to see this on the scale. He's finally gaining at a consistent pace now. It's really been since he started breastfeeding like a champ at 6 weeks, but now that it's gone on for a while we are really seeing the pounds pile on! Now, most babies his age are well above 10 lbs, but he's catching up!

He also laughed while he was on the scale today! I was taking the picture, and he started to laugh! It was crazy sounding, like he was trying really hard to do it, but it was oh so cute!

Another milestone, on Saturday, Jack grabbed hold of one of the toys on his playmat!

And, this picture is just cute.

Milestones

Wow, this is my 4th post in less than a week!

This is a short one. I took my photo of the day, and it's kind of sad...my baby has grown out of his newborn clothes. I was putting them away tonight. He wore them for 2 months...he's just now wearing 0-3.

Project 365

I'm going to attempt to take a photo a day in 2009, inspired by Becky Higgins, who has created a kit for an album to put 365 photos in. I have a link on my sidebar to the right titled "Project 365" with my photos in a calendar. Just click on the day with the snippet of the photo and you can see the full picture!

This picture didn't make it in to Project 365, so here it is...the lip, it gets us every time!
