Well the colic hasn't broke, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. (As I write this, he is screaming his head off with Jon in the other room...) I had always wanted to take photos for our Christmas card this year but was worried about his colic and being able to get the shots we needed. Above is the money shot. That's what we paid for, basically. 7 weeks old and looking oh-so-cute. Because in between every decent shot he was screaming and we were bouncing him or blasting a radio or trying to show him toys in hopes of getting one or two good shots. It was a hectic and a kinda stressful afternoon, but I'm glad we did it.
Thanksgiving. Hey, at least his sweater is cute.
We started him on probiotics (BioGaia) and I really have seen some improvements since day 3 of starting them. He is actually happy in the morning after he wakes up and we have been playing. I even heard his first laugh the other day! So much fun. And now he smiles all the time and we can get him to smile for us, before it was sort of random. Nothing better than seeing his smiling face.
As tempting as it was to get a cheap tree from Costco...babies first Christmas, blah blah blah. We bought an overpriced one from the tree farm. He slept the whole time in the Ergo. Family of 3, yo!
Holding his head up like a big boy. We are playing catch up on tummy time, since he wasn't a fan in the early months. He wasn't a fan of anything, actually. So in his few happy moments we weren't going to ruin it by putting him on his stomach. Trying to squeeze lots of TT in now.
We are loving baby clothes from American Apparel and Old Navy! Don't let his face fool you.
I miss this space. I miss all of you! I hope to not let so much time pass before another post.

Who has time to read through their entire blog roll as a new Mama right? that said, I always click on yours in my favorites to see if you've posted. I was happy to see this new post! :) because it also means there is that light at the end of the tunnel. YAY!
I feel like a terrible Mom because Felix is SO NOT a fan of tummy time, that I haven't pushed her to do it. :p I wish I had been better at the beginning but now I try and do it with her leaning against my chest (I read that that was a solution for tummy time haters).

Hooray for an update! I've been thinking of you a lot..wondering how that little guy has been. He is so cute. Even if he is screaming all the time. So sorry you're going through that, I cannot imagine how tough it's been, but I'm so glad you are seeing some changes.
I'm glad he's feeling a little better... he's a little cutie and you're looking gorgeous ;)
