I am finally starting to learn how to shoot in manual. Really this is only my 3rd time, I have by no means perfected it but I have a pretty cute little guy to practice on! Today he fell asleep on my bed so I stretched the blanket out he was laying on and took some close ups of his sweet little hands and feet. I just love little baby hands and toes.

I absolutely love having another little boy, not that Kinsley isn't tons of fun but its nice to do the whole boy thing again too. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of Brody's baby clothes left so it's fun when I get to put Jace in one of Brody's cute baby outfits. Here's the two he has been able to wear so far, love it!

 Weight

I’m not sure on his weight, he has to be gaining though...it feels like he eats every 5 minutes!

Health
He is still our healthy little boy. 

Sleep

Baby J is still an awesome sleeper! Most of the time he wakes up either around 2 or around 4 to eat. If he wakes up earlier he wants to nurse around 6:30 but if its later he will go till around 8. He sleeps the most in the morning hours, not really waking up for long stretches until around lunch time. One hard thing about him though is the he LOVES to nap in my arms, which I totally love but it makes is hard to get much done.

 

Clothes
He still wears all of the same clothes, newborn and 0-3 months expect that he’s grow out of a couple newborn jammies L

Diet

Milk from Mommy. He’s getting better at nursing, he only struggles when he’s really tired at night or in the morning.  

 

Crying
He is starting to cry a little bit more but I still can’t complain. He is a pretty dang good baby.

Milestones

He is doing great at holding his head up, he loves to look around at everything. And there is no doubt that he is smiling, the cutest little smiles ever!! Another absolutely adorable milestone, he is starting to make those tiny little baby coos, he started around 3 weeks…melts my heart every time.

Products I'm loving

Still just the binkies and binkie clips. I wish I was loving a baby wrap!! They are pretty expensive so I bought some fabric to make my own but I can’t seem to get some alone time to do it.  

Fun Facts

As I said before he loves to be held, so something he has a hard time when I have to put him down. I mean mommy does still have to get things done, as much as I’d like to just hold him all day I can’t. I have found that the quickest way to comfort him is with touch, he just loves to know someone is there. He loves when I softly rub his face, and especially loves when I put my face next to his…calms him right down. He also loves escimo kisses from Mommy J

My pictures definitely aren't as good as my Mom's, just one of a million reasons why I miss her.

 

 

 Weight

We just had his two weeks checkup today so I know exacts. He weighs 9 pounds 8 ounces (what Bro weighed at birth, just a fun fact) which is in the 75^th percentile, he is 21 inches long also the 75^th percentile and his head circumference is 14 1/16 inches which is the 50^th percentile.  

Health
This little boy couldn’t be doing better!! The only health problem he’s had so far was his circumcision. For the first week and a half it was bleeding and causing him a lot of pain during diaper changes, thankfully that is over.  

Sleep

He is perfect, seriously! He still sleeps a ton during the day of course and is a great sleeper at night. The most times he’s woken up to eat at night is 3, and that’s a lot for him. Even with him being a great sleeper I find myself losing a lot of sleep though. With every little sound he makes I worry something is wrong and have to check on him. He also loves to sleep with us, or should I say we both love it. I’m afraid I might be setting myself up for trouble later. Oh and Kins always ends up in bed with us, 4 people in a queen beds gets a little squishy.

Clothes
Still newborn, thank goodness…I don’t want him to grow! He can wear 0-3 months but they are big.  

Diet

Milk milk and more milk, and boy does he like to nurse. He’s not my best nurser though; sometimes he has a really hard time latching on. Night time is when he struggles the most; it can take a good 5 minutes for him to latch on.  

Crying
Once again he is a really good baby, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t cry but when he does its always for a reason and he can be quieted down pretty quickly.

Milestones

He doesn’t have too many milestones yet. He is working really hard at raising his head up, especially when we hold him up on our shoulder. I am pretty sure that he recognizes us now, he focuses on our faces a lot more. And he has been giving the cutest smiles ever! Mostly in his sleep J

Products I'm loving

I’m totally loving the binky clips my Mom made!! She made a ton so it’s super easy to match them to his outfits. And of course I’m also loving the binkies on them.

Fun Facts

It is still so weird to think he is our smallest baby at 9 pounds 8 ounces (at 2 weeks), I never in a million years imagined myself having such big babies. I saw a picture on Instagram the other day of a 5 pound baby, it seriously scared me!! It looked like it could break with any wrong move!

I also still can’t get over how lucky we are, that he is here and he is ours. The amount of love you instantly feel for each new child is indescribable, unlike anything else. And the crazy part is that love just continues to grow with each new day you spend with them. I am literally by all means obsessed with this little man; I just can’t get enough of him! He is mommies little angel, I know it’s still too early to be sure but I really hope he stays that way. I sure could use any easy child!
