2 Months Old!!!!

I am becoming more aware - beware :)
The Colic position - Mommy and Daddy use this move quite a bit!




Hi Everyone,

Can you believe that I am two months old already? On Monday, I turn 9 weeks old. That means Mommy only has two more weeks until it is time for her to get ready to go back to work. Mommy was very lucky this time. I planned my arrival just right. She did not have to take maternity leave and she got a longer leave than a normal maternity leave. Mommy is looking forward to teaching again, but she will miss her boys very much!!!

I can't say that I am giving my Mommy an easy time. We had to make a trip to the ER last Friday. It turns out that I am colic. Mommy was right. I cry.... a lot. Sometimes, I scream - usually at night and Mommy and Daddy are around. Sometimes Baba and Papa get to hear me too :) We are hoping that the colic phase is almost over. I have an extremely hard time taking a bottle. I cry all the time. Mommy is a little frustrated because my doctor really isn't helping her.

My sleep is terrible. I am still not in my crib. I get up every 1 - 2 hours. I cannot go over the two hour mark. We think it is the colic or the kind of formula that I am on. I am on preemie formula, but I am really not a preemie.

No matter, my Mommy and Daddy love me very much, and hope the two month milestone will improve the sleeping. Mommy isn't sure what she will do when she goes back to work and I am not sleeping.

I am getting baptized tomorrow! Look for pictures!!! Love, Jake

Getting Bigger everyday!

Hi Everyone,

As you can tell from the pictures I like to eat ..... A LOT! Mommy thinks I am packing on the pounds, which is fine with her. She also thinks Niko will be the skinny one, and I will be the "plump" one. That's how it was / is in her family :)

We are trying very hard to figure out my schedule. Mommy thinks about when my wake times are during the day. They are different everyday! Mommy did figure out that I take at least two good naps a day. It is hard to sleep with a three year old running and screaming around. Mommy isn't going complain though - because maybe I will sleep a little longer at night.

I am REALLY wearing Mommy out at night. I am up every hour and half and sometimes I get up every two hours. We have not hit the three hour mark yet! I want to eat :) I am 7 weeks old now, and Mommy hopes that in a couple of weeks, I will be sleeping a little longer. She is exhausted! I am not even in my crib yet. I sleep in Mommy's room in my car seat. When I am 9 weeks old, she is moving me into the crib - that should be really interesting. She might start easing me into the transition earlier than 9 weeks.

I am done with my "special" appointments for now. I have passed my eye and ear tests. I have to go back in a year. My next appointment is in October for development. We did visit the NICU while we were there. We saw one of my favorite nurses. I, of course was sleeping.

Tummy issues are still there, but not as bad. Mommy thinks I have a touch of colic. We are managing. Well, it is almost feeding time! Have a good week :) Love, Jake
