Fun with Jack!

Jack is doing the "I've found my feet but don't always grab my feet;

instead I'll just do reverse sit-ups" thing:

He's not a huge fan of tummy time, but look

at how well he does holding his head up!

(slightly blurry, sorry)

The Cards are in the World Series? What?


GO CARDS!

Fun with Lincoln!

Lincoln had a good time eating his Nutella-banana sandwich

for dessert last night:

Yoda ears & Toy Story slippers! A perfect combo.

Look! Spiderman!


No, it's Darth Spider Yoda Man!

"No, it's just me, Mommy!"

"Me, who?"

"Lincoln Atticus Welch!"

He is so much fun!!

Pre-pregnancy weight!!

OK, I have to post this somewhere, and since few people read this, it seems like a safe place to be excited but not be seen as bragging too much!

I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight!!! I've been really close for over a month, and now it's official. Of course, most of this is flab, not muscle, but I'll take what I can get--and hopefully get back to more muscle later.

I'm just so proud of myself, and so thankful. I'm proud of myself because I worked my rear end off after my 6-week checkup, going to the gym 3 times a week until I came back to work. I wanted to lose the weight, and I did, through sheer sweat and pain!

I'm thankful because it is a huge blessing from God that the weight is off. If it hadn't come off, I would have to buy more clothes that fit (but that hopefully wouldn't fit long and would thus just be a waste of money--except that I can't come to work naked), and there is no money for that right now. This was all God!

So with God and sweat, I am blessed to be fitting into almost all of my old clothes. YESSSSS!!!!!

3 months old!

Jack is 3 months old!

And he is uber-smiley:

Our baby boy weighs 14.01 pounds--a pretty big guy! I keep forgetting to measure him, so let's just say he's longer than he was a month ago. :)

Tummy time is getting more interesting, although it's still a challenge

for Jackson to hold his head up:

Lounging:

3-month favorites:

Sleeping through the night until 6:30 or 7:00 AM

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Lincoln, Lincoln Lincoln. Jack watches him all the time!

Smiling, cooing and razzing. All the time!

Eating. Jack is doing great switching between bottle & Mommy

since I'm back at work.

The baby in the mirror. Just today, Jack smiled at and

tried to bat at his reflection for the first time!

Farting. Pooping out of his diaper.

Having his nose sucked (most of the time). It's funny how much he smiles

and coos when having his snot suctioned!

Dislikes:

Being congested. For 3 nights last week, Jack woke up every 5 to 30 minutes

because of nasal congestion. NOT fun. He's still a bit congested.

Not getting to eat right when he wants to!

Being overstimulated

On to month four!

Things are going well in Welchland!
