The Stats

Well, I can't say that I enjoyed my visit to the doctor (I screamed the entire time) but I am growing nice and healthy. I weigh 14 lbs. 2 oz. and I am 24 inches long now. The nurse was guessing I weighed only 11 lbs. but mom knew better! I have to retire all of my size 6 month jammies already. As you can see by the war wounds on my legs, I had to get 3 shots plus one yucky oral vaccine. I was not a happy camper and I let everyone know about it. Once I got home mom gave me some tylenol and after that I felt much better and was back to my old self again.

2 months!

















Hi everyone! I'm 2 months old today! My, how time flies. I haven't been in for a check-up so I'm not sure exactly how much I weigh or how long I am but I go in next week so we'll find out soon. I am definitely a morning boy. That's when I talk the most and give out my best smiles. Jonah loves it when I wake up. He comes over to me and gives me the best kisses ever. He always wants to hold me too. My favorite thing to do is take baths. Even if I'm a bit cranky or fussy, all mom has to do is take off all my clothes and I'm a happy boy! I love the warm water and I just sit back and relax. But I'm not so happy when it's time to get out.








Here's a comparison of my brother at 2 months. Does anyone think we look alike?

7 weeks

















I admit it, I'm a Mama's boy. She thinks I'm a little fiesty at times but really I'm a snuggle bug. She thinks she finally has me figured out too...we'll see about that. I still only eat for a couple minutes at a time but she's stopped worrying about that since I'm plumping up just fine. We've had to retire all my 0-3 month clothes and move right along to 6 months. I still poo once a week also but she stopped worrying about that too since my doctor said it's normal. I get a little gassy at times which makes me quite angry but that is getting much better. Sometimes when I cry I just want to be held real tight and rocked. I'm not a big fan of bouncing or even having someone sing to me. I just like to cuddle up close to my Mama!




Mom used to wake me up every 2 hours to eat but for the past couple of weeks I've slept for 4-5 hours the first round, then 2-3 the rest of the night. She tried out the "miracle blanket" on me but I hated it! I want my arms free thank you very much!



I have the sweetest brother in the world too. I know it's hard when he wants to play with mom and I want to eat but he is very patient and he always gives me the best kisses.

A day in the life...

...of Zekey J (that's what mom calls me).









At 6 weeks old, I hang out with my brother.
















I play with mom and dad.









I take warm baths, snuggle up in towels, play on the bed and try to lift my head up.

I hang out in my boppy pillow, have some tummy time and of course take lots of naps! (Oh yeah and eat too, but only for a couple minutes so I can do it more often. And can't forget lots and lots of diapy changes. I only poo about once a week though, which made mom worry until she asked my pediatrician about it. Turns out I am just very effecient!)

Quick Update

Hi everyone! I thought I would send out a quick update (although not much is new). Here is a picture of what I do best. Of course I wake up to eat every couple hours but soon it's back to dreamland zzzzzzz.....
I have been showing off my smiles for the past couple weeks but mom has yet to catch one on camera. And I'm starting to talk a bit too... you know, "coos" and "ahhhs". Once I start staying awake longer maybe I'll have something more to blog.
