Jack...The First 3 Months

Hello again, long lost bloggers! In an effort to not completely overwhelm myself and feel like I have to blog details of the past three months, I have decided to do a "brief" overview. I am also going to do a month-by-month scrapbook of Jack's first year like I did for Anna, so this won't be the only documentation of his first few months. Enjoy!

Jack's dedication: May 1st at 3 months old
These first three months have been a whirlwind, but oh-so-sweet and such a blessing. Jack is such a perfect addition to our family. He is growing so fast and we try to enjoy every moment as they go rushing past. Right now, he weighs 14.5 pounds and is pushing the limits on his 3-6 month clothes. He is finishing up the last batch of size 1 diapers that were opened (we gave several boxes to Caroline) so we can move to 2's. He is sleeping from 11 pm until 7 am and eating about every 3 hours during the day with naps in between. He DOES NOT like his car seat and hasn't from the beginning. He is getting a little better about it since he has to spend a decent amount of time there by default. We dealt with some reflux in the 3rd and 4th weeks, but ever since he started on Prevacid, he has been so much better. He is such a happy baby (when he's not in his car seat), always smiling and talking, especially right after his belly gets full. Our hearts are overflowing with love for him and we thank God every day for blessing us with such a precious miracle!
