8 weeks

Jack Thomas, you were 8 weeks old on January 16th. This time is flying by so fast.

Can't believe you are so big

Just taking in the outdoors

My smilin' Jack

Holding my head up and pouting.

Jack,

• you are growing into your clothes more and more. Some outfits are even *gasp* 3 months!
• you are getting better control over your body temperature, but still seem hot-natured.
• you started going on walks in the stroller. I push you and daddy walks Bailey and Scruff. Usually you sleep through the walks, but you were awake for the last one. 
• you are still loving the swaddle. 
• you still move constantly. Sucking on your pacifier is the only time that you are still. It helps to calm you I guess.
• you have started smiling and cooing at us. You will smile spontaneously when you see mom or dad and you especially love us to sing. daddy has a much better voice than mommy! Plus the songs he makes up are much cuter!
•  you are still in a newborn sized diaper and we are using cloth diapers when we are at home. 
• mommy had to take you to the doctor because you began screaming all the time again and would not sleep. Doctor C increased your Zantac to .75 ml and we started rice cereal in your bottles. The difference is amazing! You have pretty much stopped spitting up and are overall a much happier baby now. 
• you are so much more alert now and always want to be able to see what is going on around you.
• you are eating 4 ounces every four hours. we are trying to work up to five ounces.
• you are very happy to see your daddy when he comes home from work. it's adorable!
• your favorite sound on your sound machine is the rain. it makes you fall asleep very fast.
• you can hold your head up now and sit up without falling over if you have something to lean against.

You are growing like a weed, little man! we love you more than we thought possible!
