Three weeks and counting..

Ah--can't believe that in a few short days the baby will be a whole month old (sad face). Where has the time gone? Well, I actually know where it has gone...


..it has gone to lots of moments that have caused Luke and I to look at one another and ask "how did we create such a sweet, sweet baby?"
..it has gone to us trying to tame Jack's "mop" (as Luke calls his awful hair).. we have tried every hairstyle possible, and nothing works - it's a disaster!
...it has gone to lots of walks through town and the park. We have found so many neat places in State College and Bellefonte that we would have never found before.
...it has gone to learning to clean the bathroom with a baby in one hand and a Clorox wipe in the other.
...it has gone to 2 loads of laundry a day! Who knew someone so little made SO much laundry.
..it has gone to us considering digging out Luke's combat attire in the attic to help protect us during diaper changings. We get peed and pooped on at least 2 times a day!


Here are some three week updates:


-Last Friday, Jack was up to 9lbs3oz.. woah!
-He is more alert now, tracking things with his eyes!
-He accidentally smiles, which is SO cute.
-Jack has developed baby reflux, which caused us to have a rough weekend! We finally got to know his baby cry this past weekend. That was a trial run of what its like to have a truly fussy baby. I was crying, he was crying..it was a disaster. He was not a happy camper. I think it was a mix of reflux, trapped gas and a growth spurt. Yikes! I think Luke was probably ready to go back to work on Monday..but, Jack returned to his sweet self right after he left! Phew! Everyone kept saying "Uh-oh..he must have colic". Every time I heard the word colic I wanted to scream! NO, people...colic is defined as "crying for no reason". There was def. a reason he was crying. He would scream out in pain from a gas bubble..I knew exactly what was wrong with him, but just couldn't do anything to help him. If I hear the word colic one more time..haha!
-Sleeping 3 hour intervals at night, he is like a ticking clock!


Here are some pictures from the last week:

Look at his little hands..uh, to die for!

Loves time at night with his pops!

Not a fan of hair and makeup before his photoshoot...

Catching up on the bear!
