Don't Ask Me

Talk to his mother. Apparently 1 month is the age to begin accessorizing.

a long afternoon

It's been kind of a long afternoon. Jacob has had some issues with gas and hasn't eaten very much. He and Magy finally tuckered out about 20 minutes ago though. Looks like they're down for a little while!

Rolling the Dice - Sleep vs. Gas facial expressions

I'm on spring break this week and had a little time on my hands. Magy and I have become accustomed to the many faces of Mr. Jacob over the last few weeks so I thought I'd share a little glimpse into a minute of his day. I'm trying out a new method to post videos using YouTube and embedding them into the blog. Hope nobody has any difficulties getting the video to open.

This little video tracks the Sleep-Gas-Sleep expressions that we see countless times a day. He makes us laugh all the time at the goofy little things he does. We'll be sure to save this video for the first girl that he brings home!

On a side note, Jacob turns one month old on Sunday. Grammy and Grampa Morton will be in town to celebrate with us. If anyone would like to stop by during the day, you're more than welcome.

Yeah, I'll just lay here to make sure mom gets some sleep.... Just let me know if you need something. Maybe a daily dose of cuteness? I've gotcha covered on that one mom.

Just Chillin' with Dad

You know, catching up on some TV and lounging around the house like the big people

So we went to the doctor this morning. The diaper rash almost went away but then manifested into some strain of jock itch. The little guy just can't catch a break. We noticed some little pimply looking bumps yesterday on his lower abdomen, and the doctor said that was the beginning of a yeast infection. We bought some Lotrimin and are combining that with some A&D ointment.

Aside from that, his cord stump has been bleeding more than normal so the doctor put some silver nitrate on the spot that was "oozing" to try and cauterize the area. No more washing the area with alcohol now, just soap and water.

While we were waiting for the doctor, we took advantage of the scales and discovered that his weight has increased to right around 9 pounds. We could find the measuring thing they use for length though, so we'll just have to do an at-home measurement for that.

My next little project around the house is to modify the Graco Pack N' Play music/vibration control center. The stupid thing has a 15 minute auto shut-off for both the vibration and the music part. So right about the time he falls asleep, all that stuff shuts off and he goes into a little tear. We don't use the vibration a whole lot, but when we need it - WE SERIOUSLY NEED IT. I may crack that open later today and see what I can figure out. It can't be that hard to change right?

Cruisin' para chicas

So Mommy was getting a little tired of seeing Jacob in onesie gowns for the last two weeks and decided it was time for a new fashion statement - pants, socks, and all.

Let's go scootin' now, everybody's learnin' how . . .

The weather outside is weather . . .

We've been trying to keep him awake for an hour after each feeding before we put him down for his naps (at night he'll just feed and go to sleep though). Mommy was supposed to be keeping him awake but was falling down on the job a little - a little too interested in making baby announcements for some reason. So I thought I would strap on my Baby Bjorn and toodle around outside.

But what outing would be complete without a little scooter time!?!?
