Seriously??

Has no one invented a device to slow time yet?!?

Not sure that I really want it stopped, but I do sorta. (Well, maybe in a few weeks when 8 hours of sleep is happening every night). My point is that time flies.

Jack is 1 month old (well, not "technically" but he is 4 weeks. Same difference, right?).

Time is flying by me! I am feeling more normal and pretty healed, which is SUPER to feel like a normal functioning human being again (and, I slept on my stomach last night. It was heavenly.).

Jack has awakened from his newborn coma and we are finally able to appreciate his big dark blue eyes. :) (So far, Janelle: 3 Chris: 0, on eye color). He is on a similar schedule to the big kids (as far as wake up and bedtime goes) and has only 1 middle of the night feeding, which is super. I'd be lying if I didn't say I am anxiously awaiting sleep (but I remind myself every.single.night not to wish away even one second, as I've seen just how quickly babies grow up.). He rarely does the newborn curl up thing (you know, how they turn into a ball when you hold them on your chest? So sad, that's one of my favorite things). He is smiling now, though I have been completely unsuccessful in capturing it in a picture. He also has a dimple on his right cheeck in the exact same place as Ryan. They are like twins as newborns (note to self, label their pictures so I can tell them apart in years ahead).

Must I be bothered to wake up? BIG yawns! :)



He only goes cross-eyed when he poops. Ha!



Simply precious



Sleeping. He's now rolled over to his stomach 3 times. I may or may not have thrown in the towel and put him down on his stomach most of the time...



Look at that neck support! He's been holding his head up for a few minutes a couple of weeks now.

Eli does the cross-eyed thing, too. And, we are full-time tummy sleepers over here...he throws a fit if I even think about putting him on his back.

Too cute! Rachel was a tummy sleeper since week 1. You weigh the pros and cons. I was worried with how I might be had we continued to struggle with the back sleeping. Rachel was waking immediately after going to sleep on her back. Once I allowed tummy sleeping, we were all MUCH happier!

He is adorable! Great pictures!
