I love the way Jamie smells after a bath.


Here is a quick update on my favorite baby:

- He smells GREAT after a bath

-I watched him wiggle his body to face a different direction yesterday. He went from feet pointed to the tv to feet pointed to the couch all by himself.

-speaking of tv, he loves it. He enjoys laying in front of it and watching during his tummy time.

-He is six weeks old tomorrow (wow!)

-We switched him to a bottle part time with expressed milk. This has improved his daily feeding by one thousand as far as how happy the two of us are. He currently alternates between the two during the day and just bottles at night. Since starting this he has: only had one screaming fit while eating in the last week (used to be 2-3 times a day) - he is only vomiting maybe once a day and hardly at all on me during eating anymore - he is sleeping for two stretches of 3-4 hours each night - when breastfeeding he is now much more focused and therefore no longer hurting me(yay!)

-He enjoys time with Scarlett. Last time they had a play date they spent the day acting like siblings. she would try to gouge his eyeballs out and he would then punch her in the face or kick her. Very cute and funny.

-He LOVES the painting above our bed (bold stripes and blocks of blue, black, and white) he will sit and stare at it for a good twenty minutes.

-He went to his first two baseball games last week and is going to another one this sunday. He did well at both of them, especially considering the heat on both days (104 the second game!). He has a cute hat and mostly likes to sleep during the game. However when he is awake he likes whoever is holding him to explain what is going on. He loves the Mariners and Raul Ibanez.
-He has discovered he has fingers he can suck on.

-He is cute

-I love him.

I told Jason he should go visit you guys on the 26th while I'm at a work meeting at one of the high schools. Though we should all hang out sometime.

Absolutely- you guys are always welcome. I'd love to see how Julie acts around Jamie when she's around him for an extended period. I'll bet she'll love on him big time and cry when he leaves!
