Week Three

We spent the biggest part of John Reid's 3rd week of life focusing on eating (I guess it's really drinking.) He needed to gain a few more ounces from week 2... he managed to put on 6 oz in 7 days! Sometimes it gets a little messy.Reading with Daddy More reading and playtime!
John Reid is focusing much better and seems to love his mobile more and more everyday. He is following objects by moving his head and has started to focus on mommy and daddy's face!
Texas weather has us a bit confused. We played in the backyard yesterday on a beautiful Sunday, but we are expecting SNOW tonight, Monday.
(BTW, John Reid went to church for the first time yesterday.)Hanging with Rivers and Barnabas

The dogs seem to be adjusting well to the new sounds and smells of a baby! Mommy's New Trick- To get things done around the house (and a sure way to get him to sleep) I seem to spend a lot of the day with the Baby Bijorn on!

Daddy's New Trick- Instead of dealing with burp cloths Chris has decided the best and cleanest way to burp John Reid is to hold him over the sink. Imagine my surprise when I walked in on this scene. I was laughing so hard I'm glad I got this shot.

Hip Update- We went to the Orthopedic today (Monday). He said John Reid's hip has already tightened up! Yea! Now we just wear the harness to keep everything where it should be for a few more weeks. He said probably 7 more weeks and then we will look at weaning him off. That's when we can take it off for playtime and baths. Then, we will move to just night time wearing.
