2 Months

Jake just turned 2 months old on Tuesday. Can't believe how fast time flew by. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home. He has changed so much in such a short time. He is so much more animated and quite vocal. It's so cute to watch him explore new sound and movement.

He also had his 2 months check up which includes 3 immunization shots. Poor little guy cried real hard each time. I nursed him right after so I guess that comforted him enough to fall asleep for 3 hours. He was quite fussy all afternoon and evening but he slept real well after he went to sleep at 11 p.m. and didn't wake up until 6 hours later.

Snow days

We had some snow fall a couple of days ago. Beautiful big flakes that you could catch on your tongue and actually taste. I love it when it snows, everything is all clean and beautiful. It rained immediately after so the snow didn't have time to get dirty and turn to slush.

Here are a couple of little movies of it.

Week 7 - Milestone

This week's milestone for Jake is a 5 1/2 hour sleep on Monday. He slept from 11:30 p.m. and didn't wake up until 5 a.m. It was awesome. Only problem is that I had to get up to pump since Jake didn't wake to feed -- my breasts were so engorged that the pain woke me up.

On Tuesday, we went to a parent/baby group meeting at the hospital where Jake was born. It was a support group for parents with babies and the one we went to is for 0 - 3 month old babies. I dragged Paul with me to the first meeting. Poor thing was the only guy at the meeting but he is such a tropper and it didn't really bother him -- he even participated in the discussion. It was nice to hear from other women who has the same experience and be able to get advise from one another. I wish I had attended the meeting sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Jake's very first Thanksgiving with the family...

Week 4

I can't believe 4 weeks has passed. Jake has grown so much the last couple of weeks. We took him to the doctor yesterday because the last few days he was really congested. We were worried it was allergic reaction to the cats but turns out to be just a minor cold. While we were there Jake was weighed again -- he gained 15 ounce in 10 days. He is progressing nicely.

His sleeping schedule seems to be getting better (at least for us). Just last night he slept for about 3.5 - 4.5 hours after each feeding. Yeah -- sleep for Daddy and Mommy.

Week 2

Hard to believe another week has gone by. Jake is 2 weeks old now. Funny how his due date is suppose to be in 2 days.

It's fun to watch Jake sleep -- he has so many expressions and makes funny noises.

Breast feeding is getting better. Not as painful but still no fun.

Jake has had his moments of unconsolable cries...usually at 4 or 5 a.m. in the morning. Regardless of what we do, he just cries and cries. Every time we think we've calmed him down we'd put him down to sleep, he would wake up and start crying again.

Still getting use to the idea of motherhood. Maybe it will hit me when Jake starts to talk.
