Okay, so my cutie-pie will be SIX MONTHS old on Sunday!!

We had a bit of a rough start when we first brought him home. He may have had his day/nights mixed up....anyone that has gone through a newborn stage, the first few weeks are a giant blur. My surgery went well, but the pain was worse this time for some reason.

After about 4-5 weeks, we figured out Jay's tummy wasn't right....he seemed to have some colic and some acid reflux symptoms. He was always upset and it was touch & go in the way of comforting him. The doctor prescribed him some antacid, which after a few days seemed to do the trick. Even Ellie...trying to console him. pitiful!
He gets cuter everyday!! People...let me just tell you....we have a thumb sucker. he could care less about "BINKY." It's so cute---and i honestly don't know what is cuter, when he discovers it or when he realizes that it is soothing to him.

He smiles...all the time at whatever is in front of him. He likes people faces, bright colors, things that move, like the ceiling fan, of course.




He doesn't like NOISE. Yes, he is noise sensitive. He has done okay in daycare, but he doesn't sleep at well as he does at home because of the noise. When he first started there, the girls said they couldn't talk to him when he was getting his bottle--you had to be quiet, otherwise he got upset. hahah.

He eats solid foods. We tried rice cereal. Then sweet potatoes, pears, peas and this weekend I will try apples. He does okay, but he likes to chew on the spoon. So you have to hold his hand away from the food, otherwise, you can't get any food in there.
Hmmmm, now that i think about it...he has lots of cute little quirks that are his own...wait, isn't that the definition of quirky?
He was sticking his tongue out all the time. it was silly and i wondered & worried if he was defective or something? YES, I did Google it. I'm shameless. Nonetheless..here it is..



Okay....so let's keep movin' here.....bath time. Ah, fun. he seems to like it. he doesn't mind it and honestly, i feel so great putting him to bed nice and clean, dry & snuggly warm. Always makes me feel like a good mom.

Well. I'm done for the day. I will try & post a little video too. He is trying so hard to sit up. it's so cute. He really is a cutie!!!!! That picture is him him after bath....lookng at himself in the mirror!!! heehehehe
