Weston is 4 Weeks Old!

Though Weston won't be officially one month old until Saturday, he is 4 weeks old today! We cannot believe its already been FOUR weeks! It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital, awaiting Weston's arrival.

Though he hasn't really started "fattening" up yet, he does seem to getting longer by the day. We are still struggling with Weston's reflux. Unfortunately, the spit-ups are seeming more like throw-ups these days. We called the Dr. about it on Wednesday of this week and she has us set up to go have an Upper GI done tomorrow. While we were a little down that it looks like we might be going down the same road we did with Jackson, we are just thankful that we will get it all figured out soon!

Doesn't he look just like his Daddy?

What a sweet smile!

Jackson absolutely loves his baby brother!

Having a Swinging Time

Weston is enjoying the larger swing these days! Although he isn't quite big enough for it yet, it does prop him up quite a bit, which helps his reflux. Speaking of reflux, because it was seeming to get worse and not better with the prescribed Zantac, the pediatrician decided to switch him over to Prevacid. That is exactly what his big brother takes as well. Hopefully this will make a difference because we are starting to go through bibs like candy!

Jarrod & Ernesto Visit

We always have such a fabulous time when Jarrod & Ernesto come to visit. This visit was particularly exciting because they got to meet our dear, sweet Weston! Trenton, J&E made scrumptious food and we all overate the entire week long! Jackson couldn't have been happier to have them here - two more big guys to play with!

Here are a few pictures that Ernesto took of the boys while he was here. Enjoy! And thank you, Jarrod and Ernesto for coming to visit!

Watch Me Grow!

The angles are talking to him - what a sweet smile!!!

Cars, Cars, Cars!

Jackson's toy(s) of the week are all of his cars. This week, for some reason, he insists upon bringing one of his playroom chairs into the TV room and setting up shop on the coffee table. Vrrrrmmm!

Daddy & Jackson Feed Weston

Trenton had the chance to feed Weston for the first time today, with a little help of course! Jackson could not wait for the chance to hold the bottle all by himself. He did NOT want his Daddy to help him. He was so excited about it he practically shoved the entire bottle in Weston's mouth. We are still working on being "gentle"!

Heading Out For My First Walk

We took Weston out for his first walk today. It was pretty slow considering I am still recovering and Jackson couldn't decide if he wanted to ride his tricycle or walk. Weston slept through the entire walk - yea! So once we get a two-kiddo stroller, we should be able to take nice long family walks!

Snuggling with Daddy

Davey, Davey Crockett...Errr, a Super Hero?!?

Davey, Davey Crockett! Jackson loves to dress up and pretend he is all sorts of characters. This day he said he was a super hero. Who knew a Davey Crockett hat, bandana and Boppy pillow had such super powers?!?

Note JCC's black eye - a run in with the slide!

"Up, up and away!!!"

Double Doctor Visit

We had our first double Dr. visit experience today. Weston had his 2 week check-up and Jackson had an eczema flare up. The visit went well overall!

Dr. Smart gave us some medication to help with Jackson's eczema which has really seemed to help. The flare up is most likely due to the increased pollen count this year. Pretty flowers = itchy child!

Weston is right on par with his growth. We also had a chance to talk to Dr. Smart about Weston's projectile spit-up. She went ahead and put him on Zantac, which should help with all that spit up and fussiness.

Here are Weston's stats @ 2 weeks of age:

Weight: 7lbs. 15.5 ounces

Height: 21.5 inches

Head: 37.5cm

A little brother lovin' after the appointment! Aren't they such sweeties!?!

Weston's First Bath

Weston had his first bath today! While he loved the water running on his head, he wasn't too fond of anything else! But he sure smelled sweet when we were through!

"The water feels so good!"

"Jackson helped Daddy put lotion on and dry me off!"

All clean and relaxed!

Bouncy Seat First

Enjoying my bouncy seat for the first time. It comes highly recommended, my older brother loved it when he was a baby!!!

Easter Madness

Easter this year was crazy! For some reason, I felt that it was absolutely neccesary for me to be home by Easter morning to be there for Jackson. So, even though I should have stayed in the hospital one more day (and almost came home without pain meds - apparantly pharmacies close for the Easter holiday - yikes!), Weston and I arrived home from the hospital around 9:30pm Easter eve.

I am not sure why I thought my presence was so important or would even be worth it. I was drugged and in pain, so the only part of the day I took part in was watching Jackson hunting eggs - from the couch!!! Oh well...

Thanks to Daddy and Grammy, Jackson got all dressed up and handsome for church (my nephew, Andrew and I apparantly have the same taste as he picked out the same suit for himself as I did for Jackson!). He went to church with Grandma and Paca and had a grand time. He sang loudly during the service and had a wonderful time hunting eggs with his cousins... well sort of hunting. Apparantly Jackson was quite picky with the eggs, picking each one up and opening it to evaluate its contents. If the contents were deemed "worthy," Jackson took it, if not, he tossed it aside! Too funny!

Thank you to all of my family members and husband who pulled off Easter lunch at our house while Weston and I were sleeping! Since it rained, the Easter bunny hid eggs upstairs. Weston and I made a short appearance for the hunt. The kids looked adorable!

The day was a ton of fun for Jackson, a lot of work for Trenton and a blur for me. It was a blessing to be home with our new addition and to have all of our family there to enjoy the day!

Jackson's New Sandbox

While Mommy and Daddy were still in the hospital with Weston, all the grandparents really stepped up to take care of Jackson. Opa and Oma spent Saturday morning with JCC and gave him an early Easter gift-a sand box!!! Jackson loves it!!! Thank you Oma & Opa!

Fun Times with Grammy & Pawpaw

Jackson had fun with Grammy and Pawpaw while Mommy, Daddy and Weston were still in the hospital. He went to the park, played outside and even talked them into taking him back to Chuck E. Cheese's!
