2 Months old tomorrow


I can't believe it. My lil man is going to be 2 months old tomorrow. Isn't he sweet and HUGE!

Check out the cheeks.

Baking cookie cake



My youngest daughter loves to help and wanted to make some cookies but since I never know how much time I have before the baby wakes and starts crying we opted to cookie cake instead... just as good and alot less time consuming.



She did most everything herself except for the oven of course.



And loved icing it. I heard it was yummy but I didn't have any- trying to loose some baby weight!

Oh my gosh, colic stinks!!!!

Well, I'm having a hard time blogging or doing anything for that matter because my poor little boy has colic! I cant stand it- seeing him in so much pain and I cant do anything really useful to help him. I feel so powerless. I took him to the chiropractor for the first time Tuesday since a few days after he was born and he did great for 2 days and now he's back to crying, lip quivering and jerking in pain again. I feel so bad. Please keep him in your prayers. I'm going to try and take him to Divine Liturgy tomorrow and have father bless him.

Walking him around in the Moby wrap seems to help some and also my 7 year old daughter has the magic touch and always seems to calm him. It makes her so proud.
Hard part is she is only 7 and he's heavy for her to carry around for too long at darn near 15 lbs.

One Month old in his Woolies




Wow has the month flown by. I cant believe my new little guy is a month old already.
He is such a joy, a really sweet baby with just a touch of colic in the middle of the night when everyone else is sleeping which is good because the other children would probably be afraid because the cries in so much pain its heart wrenching but I;ve been through it so many times now I just remind myself to try and make him as comfortable as possible but I cant really help him or stop his pain. Although that is hard it was much worse for me with my first little girl, I felt so helpless and lost as a new mom when she would cry in pain for hours and I couldn't take that pain away or even ease it. What a horrible feeling, I don't even like thinking about it. Anyway, let not talk about that look at my adorable new baby in his warm woolies. The new blankie is from Engel and is soooo super soft and warm. I just love the smell and feel of wool. This blanket is an early Christmas gift from his daddy and me. He is laying on what was his sisters and brothers lambskin so he is just surrounded in soft warm wool, I'm kinda jealous, wish I could be.
