Yesterday marked 6 weeks for the little guy. We went to the doctor and he gained 1.4 lbs since the last visit (2w ago). Our doctor was very pleased with this since usually they only gain 1/2 an ounce to an ounce a day. He actually tried rolling over while on the table! She thinks it won't be long before he does it. She noticed that he is so much more alert and not to mention happy! He was getting fussy in the waiting room. He let out a huge burp and had a blowout in his pants, and then all was right in his little world...mommy was about 10 shades of purple and trying not to crack up. Thank goodness we packed an extra set of clothes!
This weekend Jon and I started to get smiles- not just because he was looking at his mobile, or passing gas, but because he was smiling at US! SO exciting! That little smile is already saving his little tooshie too. Last night was a rough night for Jack and I, he was very gassy and was up every couple of hours. I was less than amused of course and while nursing him, he pulled away and just let out the biggest smile at me. I just melted haha. All of sudden I wasn't bothered that I was exhausted.
Jon and I had our first date night this past Sat. Finally after about 11 months of no sushi, we made it happen. SO yummy! Auntie Audrey came to babysit for us. It was really weird sitting down for dinner without Jack there with us (he seems to know exactly when we eat and decides he's hungry too). He must have had a very exciting date with Audrey, because he slept 8 hours straight that night.
This was our second week at the Chiropractor, and he seems to be doing great. He doesn't mind getting adjusted (they use a little tool rather than their hands). Not sure if it's the chiro, the meds, the herbs or just me off dairy, but he seems happier and is gaining weight, so we are happy!
He's been doing more tummy time this...he hates it, and Daddy loves to torture him with it. We are getting out in public more now that we are past the 1 month mark. We survived the grocery store on Monday. I was absolutely terrified to take him LOL. Not sure why, I mean if he cries, he's 6 weeks old! I put him in the carrier and he slept most of the time though. We haven't ventured out to eat yet, but that is probably next weekend.
Mimi & Pops are coming to visit this weekend. We haven't seen them since Jack was born, so we are really looking forward to their visit!
Well, I think that's it for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Lots of love!
