Heathies: Jack: One Month

Wow! One month. Can you believe it? This past month has kind of been a blur. Luckily for most of it Brandon has been home (winter break) which has been absolutely wonderful. Aside from the busy holidays we have had quite a bit of time together as a family trying to adjust to a new addition around. It's been hard; little sleep and recovering from giving birth, lots of family, bills, looking for a bigger place to live and trying to give everything you have to this sweet little angel.

It's amazing to watch Jack grow and I get so excited to take him to the doctor so we can weigh him and find out how much he's gained. And then there was the issue with his poo. Yes, another joy of parenting. Jack's poos changed and it was concerning so we took pictures (wanted to know that didn't you?) and we're checking with the doctor to see if we could remedy the problem. She thought maybe a food allergy. Well, all Jack "eats" is breastmilk so it meant a no food diet for mom. We start out removing all common allergens; dairy, wheat, soy and eggs, for a week and then each week after we add something back in.

side note: I HATE DIETING! I don't believe in it. I like to eat what I want. I try to be conscious about what I eat, but if I want to enjoy a sweet, fatty little treat, I do.

Here we go; meat, fruit and veggies! I hope I don't starve to death!

He is just the sweetest little thing and he has the cutest little sad face when that bottom lip sticks out. One night Brandon and I were watching a movie and I was holding Jack, he was sleeping. Out of no where he lets out this "waaaa", and back to sleep, not another peep! Silly kid. We just love him to pieces.
