"Ya think I could get a bottle!"

Big Boy

We went to the dr today and Jax has gained weight. He now weighs 6lbs. 11oz. That is about 1lb in 2 wks. Everything is fine and the dr said Jax is developing normally, we just need to get some weight on him. Jax grew 1/4 of an inch, which makes him 19 1/4in long.

A Little Small

We were thinking about beginning to walk every afternoon, but as you can see, Jax is still a little small. : )

Major Outing

We had a quiet weekend. Our Friday night outing included walking the isles of Wal-Mart (the major attraction of Big Spring) and since our night was clearly entertaining I felt compelled to say yes to going to Midland and touring the major department stores (i.e. Lowes, Target, Sams, Wal-mart again). Greg even talked me into taking the baby to THE MALL. Those who know me will understand how much outside my comfort level this was for the baby. Even though I had every open area around him surrounded by receiving blankets as if they were a shield or respiratory mask against all the infectious bacteria waiting to get their grubby littly hands on my son. Greg thought I was crazy, as usual, but hey it made me feel better so he went along with it. All in all my son come through the trip unscathed and literally never awoke through the whole process.

By the way, I think my little conversation I had with Jax at the wee hours of the morning paid off. We have an understanding now and that was the first and so far the last COMPLETELY sleepless night. We still are getting up every 3 hrs on the dot. After the 11 o'clock feeding we woke up at 2:19am and 5:19am. He is very timely (he must get that from his dad).......... : )

He loves his swing......thanks Jenn!

Time to get used to no sleep...

Okay, well I think Jax has mistakenly switched his days and nights. Last night was the first night he kept me up until 4am. Not crying or fussing just looking around, bright eyed.

He is eating 60+ cc every feeding, which is 2 oz. He is a wonderfully calm baby and only gets worked up for seconds at a time. Here are some pics of him getting a bath. He does not like the bathing part but loves the hair washing!

Greg and I would like to thank everyone who had us in their prayers and are happy to report Jax is home and doing very well. Thanks again so very much!
