Christmas in Nebraska

First road trip with two babies was a great success

Life is good for this little girl

Cutest little elf around!

1 Month

This little guy has been growing so fast.  He is nursing like a champ and taking long naps during the day.  He definitely has a loud high pitch scream and likes to let himself be heard. He still hates to get his diaper changed.  He started to become more fussy after about three weeks, spitting up buckets-full and being more irritable so we had to put him on some reflux medicine.  The medicine seems to be helping a little, but you still hate to see your little one in pain.  We can be seen bouncing with him on our exercise ball at all hours of the day and night.  He is feeding about every 2-3 hours and definitely doesn't like to miss a meal.  It is amazing how quickly he is gaining weight for the quantities of spit-up and poop that is coming out of this child.  I do believe that this mommy produces heavy cream for milk.  Even through the fussiness and spit-up, this little guy has already stolen our heart and those chubby cheeks get lots of kisses.  

How can he look so big already?!

 

Sweet times with these two
