We will soon have a bald baby. It’s so sad to see his soft newborn hair coming out in clumps. But, I’m curious to see the new hair that grows in. Maybe he’ll be blonde?

14 lbs and 14 weeks, originally uploaded by punquin.

Our little man has doubled his birth weight! At 14 weeks old, he weighs in at 14 lbs. I’m still exclusively breastfeeding him, which certainly isn’t the easiest route at times, but I’m willing to put in the work. He’s a big comfort-nurser, which has me up with him at least 2 times a night before sunrise. That and his internal alarm clock that’s set to 5am.

Jax had snowsuits when he arrived home from the hospital, but all of them (whether newborn or 0-3) were way too huge to wear. Dan was bummed Jax never got to wear the cute gray bear suit he picked out. Well, it fits now… just in time for summer! I had to take a photo because he is just too cute.

On the 5th Jax turned 3 months old! Time is sure flying… He has started losing all that super soft hair he was born with. I miss it already! He has been “talking” all the time. Here is a video of him cooing at his toy.

Here are some photos from today. You can check out all our vacation pictures here.

We are starting to see more and more smiles. They are the best thing in the world!

We’ve started putting him in his nursery at night. Some nights are good, most are not. We are working on a routine, so I’m sure it will get better. Eventually.

We are both working again – me from home. Jax is an angel during the day and makes it easy for me. Nighttime is hit or miss. Some nights he will go right to sleep when we lay him down, some nights he has to be held to sleep. He is breast fed, so nighttime is mommy’s responsibility. He wakes up around 2 times during the night if he eats right before bed and first thing in the morning.

We are finally having some well-deserved spring weather, so Jax has been going on walks with us. We are looking forward to his great grandparents visit next week!

I have color versions, more poses and printable versions for any family that wants them.

Jax is great, though he is hungry all the time which gets in the way of sleep. He loves taking warm baths now. He is really good at riding in his baby carriers – he is finally big enough to ride with his daddy in the Baby Bjorn. Right now he is snoozing on my lap.

He’s been doing great – eating all the time. We just went to his 1 month doctor’s appointment and he is up to 8lbs 6oz and 21″ long. He had his first shot (he hadn’t gotten it in the hospital). He only cried for a few seconds – some kisses from mommy and a hug from daddy made it all better.

We are finally expecting weather that isn’t freezing or snowy this weekend.  We are looking forward to a spring filled with lots of walks with Jax and the dogs. We’ve been stuck inside way too long!

I’ve been adding plenty of videos to our video page:

I hope to take some nice photos of the little guy this weekend in the sunshine.

Thank you to everyone who has visited or sent well wishes!  We are looking forward to visits from our west coast family in the coming months.

Jax is doing well. He’s a little milkaholic, as you can see by his chubby cheeks. Despite some sleepless nights during his current growth spurt, we still think he’s awesome!  I think we’ll keep him…

We signed up for Sykpe last night so that family and friends can video chat with Jax. It makes things easier with so many of you on the other side of the country. Let me know if you’d like my username.
