Baby Love

Jace is such a loving baby. He loves to give kisses and hugs and loves to cuddle! I love it and I hope he doesn't grow out of it anytime soon.

 

Here's a video of Jace loving on his sister. I'm not sure if you can hear it or not but he burps in the beginning, that's why we start laughing.

Show off!

This video is from Sunday morning. I love how he kept looking to make sure we were watching him!

Jace's New Thing

I've finally been able to get a few videos of Jace doing his new thing. He does this ALL the time now! Usually every time he sees my phone, he stops and wants to get the phone.

Talking

I got this video of Jace talking last week. I love it!

He likes to watch himself also. I took this picture of him watching his video.

2 Months!

Happy 2 months baby boy!

Jace is 2 months old today and he's getting to be such a big boy! He's so alert and he LOVES his big sister! He is always staring at her! If no one else can make him smile, she can! He's so alert and is holding his head up very well. He's so sturdy and strong and he likes to stand. He thinks he's grown, I have to keep telling him he's not! He wants to sit up and see what is going on. He's wearing size 1 diapers, although he is about to outgrow them. We use cloth while we are at home and we love them! I'll post about that later. He's wearing 0-3 months clothes, some are still big on him though.

He is taking 5 ounces every 3-4 hours during the day and 6 ounces before bed. We add rice cereal to his bottles (per doctor's orders) for reflux. He spits up a lot and thickening it helps him keep it down a little. He is still sleeping through the night and has been for a while now. We swaddle him at night but we keep his arms out because he likes them around his face. I tried unswaddled one night and he didn't sleep as well.

We had his 2 month doctor visit on Thursday. He was 11 lb 4 oz (65th percentile), 23.7" long (85-90th percentile), and his head was 15.4" (50th percentile). He's growing so fast! He got three shots and also took the rotavirus vaccine by mouth. He loved that and was smacking his lips! He was such a big boy with the shots. He only cried for a second after each one. The last one was the worst but as soon as I picked him up, he stopped crying. And that night when I took off the bandaids, he didn't even flinch! He's my tough little guy!

I took this video while waiting on the doctor. I'm telling you, he thinks he's grown! He was doing this all on his own, James was just holding him up.

What's happened so far at 2 months:

-We spent the first nights away at home (Nanny and PaPa's)

-Rolled from back to tummy

-First time in a pool

-Tried out the Bumbo seat and loved it!

-Lots of smiling and talking

7 Weeks

My sweet boy is 7 weeks old. He's developing his own little personality. He is smiling a lot more now and is doing great at holding his head up. He rolled from tummy to back on July 19 and I caught it on video! I think it scared him. Here's the video, rolling over is at the end.

Swim Lessons

Avaree started swim lessons today. She has them for 2 weeks, Monday through Thursday for 30 minutes each day. There are 5 kids (age 3-5) in her class and there are 2 instructors. She did great. She was more confident than I thought she would be in the water and I was very proud of her! I can't wait to see how well she is swimming after 2 weeks!

And a video!

Silly Boy

He's a Mover!

Jace has been moving A LOT tonight! Here's a video of my Little Man!
