I just realized I haven't said anything about little Bear lately. He's such a wonderful and easy baby that we are enjoying every minute with him. Before he was born I had worried that as a second child he might be short changed. I was concerned that we might not be as excited about his milestones since we had already had a baby who had crawled, walked, talked, etc. Well, now I know that we are just as excited about everything he does as we were with Jackson. The only difference is that with him I don't have the stress, worries or general paranoia that I had as a first time mommy. Bear is cooing and laughing so much and just always happy.
Jackson goes to sleep around 7 or 7:30 and Baron goes to sleep at 10 so Jay and I have a few hours alone with Bear each night. We just love playing with him and making him laugh. He's such a joy and a blessing. At this point he's making it really hard for me to not want a third baby.
He's eating very well and has been sleeping 9 straight hours for several weeks. Unfortunately he's making me very spoiled because last week on two separate occasions he woke up to eat in the middle of the night and I felt like my world had turned upside down. Not that it wouldn't be totally appropriate for him to wake up once during the night but I just wasn't used to it. How quickly we become spoiled!
Anyway, Baron goes to bed by 10 most nights (he stays up as late as 11:30 occasionally)and sleeps until around 7 a.m.
Yesterday he rolled over from his tummy to his back three times. I'm not sure if he intended to do it or not so we will see if it happens again. Pretty much the only time he is unhappy is during tummy time. He's definitely not a fan of being on his stomach.
Jackson is such a wonderful big brother, he loves so much Baron and at least once a day kisses his little feet and talks about how much he loves those tiny toes:) Recently, he has been taking care of his little teddy bear (a gift from my friend Kristin when Jackson was born) which he named Barry. He swaddles Barry, feeds Barry, sings to Barry, puts him in the swing and the bassinet. It's very cute. When I change Baron's diaper Jack changes Barry's diaper. Funny stuff.
I'll try to post some good pictures soon but I wanted to give an update on our little guy on his 11 week birthday:) Also according to our scales he now weighs 14 pounds 8 ounces and he's currently wearing 3-6 month clothes. We are so blessed to have two healthy, happy boys!

I didn't think it was possible for you to have another son as sweet as Jax, but you definitely do! And I just love watching Baron watch you -- he sure does adore his mama!
