3 weeks old.
A wail is a wail is a wail…well, not really. Your baby has a whole repertoire of cries that mean a variety of things from "feed me" to "hold me" to "get this big poop out of my diaper!" And once you learn how to decode baby cries, life will get easier for the both of you. What else is up? Spit-up for one thing and probably some pretty explosive sounds coming from the tush region as baby's digestive system kicks into high gear. And speaking of that adorable butt, be prepared for some colorful diaper rashes. You might be considering the pros and cons of the pacifier about now (your call, Mom) and wondering when you can take your little one out for a stroll (and how to dress him once you do). In brain-related news, your baby is ready for more complex shapes (bye-bye circles, hello zigzags!) as his vision, ability to focus, and concentration improve rapidly. He might be really digging his mobile now or a soft toy waved in front of his face. As for Mom, you might dig a deep massage right now as the combination of your stretched-out tummy muscles and hormonally loosened ligaments are causing some serious back pain. It takes time to get your body back on track, but there are things you can do to help the process (and ease back soreness) right now, including minding your posture (sit up straight!)

Jack actually doesn't really cry very much (at least not yet;) ). He definitely poops a lot though, and it is SO loud! He is definitely Matt's son! He has yet to have a diaper rash, but he seems to have a very sensitive bum, so im going to try and incorporate cloth diapers. not only should they be more sensitive on his bum, but it will save us some money too! And Riley seems pretty smitten with him. She likes to be close to him at all times, it's really cute! At first she was pretty jealous, but her jealous phase didn't last too long! Overall things are getting easier, we are getting into more of a routine, but I'm still having a hard time getting out of the house :/ So, if you want to see this cutie just let me know because we would love some company!

These pictures are so great. He sure us a photogenic little guy! I need to come visit soon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!! Oh by the way, when he gets diaper rash for the first time, you want to use a medicated powder. The creams dont really do much at all. We used Caldescene powder and it cleared up overnight! You're so brave though for trying cloth diapers. There is no way I would do that. I like being able to just throw it away hahaha.
