Cruz is now 5 weeks and 5 days old. He has changed so much and is getting so stinkin chunky. I wish I had a baby scale to see how much weight he gains everyday. Here's a little bit about our one month old...
*His eyes are looking more blue everyday
*Most people say he looks just like his Daddy especially when he does his wierd facial expressions
*So far he's been the total opposite of how Jedidiah was as a newborn.
*He sleeps from around 7pm-7am and wakes up at midnight and 4am for feedings, but usually goes right back to sleep. Unless of course I decided to have pizza... then he's up for a while farting.
*After his morning feeding he is so much fun trying to talk and giving us all kinds of smiles.
*He has some pretty big chee-chees when he's slouching down.
*He will take bottles like a pro which makes me so happy. Jed used to have to be brougt to me on my lunch breaks to nurse him because he 95% of the time wouldn't take a bottle.
*Loves bathtime.
*Had his first up-the-back poo today on 8-21. So proud.
Can't think of anymore monumental happennings with him right now... but we just love watching him grow and change.
As for Jedidiah.... Yikes. jk. He hasn't really been too bad adjusting to his new brother. I was totally prepared to have to keep my eyes glued to him 24/7 but he hasn't once tried to hurt his brother or anything like some horror stories I've heard. Thank God. He just loves kissing his brother, supervising diaper changes, and shoving his bink in his mouth. He really does love him so much and that makes me and Chris so happy. It's an amazing thing to see. Tear.
Okay now to brag about Jed... He has turned into quite the little prayer warrior. Just about everyday he fakes a tummy ache so I will pray for him. ha. But he has been praying for just about everyone and everything lately. My Mom hurt her toe pretty bad a few months back and it is still hurting her so I asked him to pray for her.. "Father God, we thank you for Nana's toe. Jesus' name. Amen." For my Dad... "Father God we thank you for Papa. Please give him the job. Jesus' name. Amen." My favorite prayer so far was when Cruz was just like two weeks old, he starting getting kind of stuffy (which is normal for newborns, but I was freakin' that he was getting sick since my whole fam had been sick when he was born. ha) I asked Jed to pray for him and he went on for a good 2 min praying for his brother... "Father God, we thank you for baby brudder. Help him to feel better... he don't wanna get sick... help him to sleep... thank you for baby brudder... Jesus' name. Amen." Something along those lines. He's amazing.
