Our Growing Boy

James is over a month old now. Sometimes it seems like we brought him home yesterday, and others it seems like we've had him forever (although, sometimes I think this feeling is derived from lack of sleep). It's so much fun to watch him develop his little personality. He had a checkup yesterday and Paul and I were guessing his weight. I said 10 pounds, Paul said 10 pounds 6 ounces. We were both way off. He is now over 11 pounds (and 3 ounces if you want specifics) and continues to eat like crazy. His eyes have turned light blue and I'm really hoping they stay that way because they're SO pretty. He'll kill me in 15 years for saying he had pretty eyes, but oh well. He has horrible reflux and gas (the last one shouldn't surprise me considering who his daddy is) and it's taken us a while to find relief for him. We tried gas medication, but it just wasn't cutting it. We finally discovered the miracle elixer that is Gripe Water. It's a homeopathic medicine for colic and I'm telling you it's a lifesaver!! I let him sleep on his tummy during the day when I can watch him, which seems to help so he's now a relatively happy baby, except at night when he turns into a fussy monster, but we love him anyway :)

All clean in his little robe. He LOVES baths.
