Cam colicky??

So, my sweet little baby boy is so colicky. Some days he does pretty good where he sleeps like a newborn is supposed to and other days he cries from the time he wakes up at 8 or 9 until the time he goes to bed at night which can be anywhere from 8 to 10:30. I looked up online at webmd.com to see what caused colic and what home remedies I could use to calm him down. Come to find that colic is not always caused by excesive gas. There are many factors that could be the cause of colic ( i think the list was about 12 reasons) Danny gets pretty frusterated with him and tells me i need to take him to the dr so they can give him drugs, but I have a pretty good feeling that the pediatrition is just going to tell me he'll grow out of it. Which takes about three or four months, and he's almost two. Hopefully he grows out of it before Danny swears off having any more babies!!! (if he hasn't already)

Easter weekend

Then Sunday afternoon, we blessed Cam. He looked so handsome in his little blessing suite and alex and Dad in matching suites.

Sunday morning we had a big, family Easter egg hunting pajama party!! It didnt take long for Alex to get the hang of it and he was running around saying "eggs, eggs, eggs". He had a blast searching for eggs and running around outside.

We went to the fair Friday afternoon, and Alex got to ride the ponnies, which he really loved!! He went around saying yeeha, yeeha!! So cute! We decided to try to take him on some rides, but as you can tell, that didnt work!!! He was so tired and it was past his nap time, so he just wanted to go home.

One month old!!!

Our little prince turned one month old on Friday. He is such a sweet little thing, and he's growing like a weed!!! He can now focus on people, and the t.v. ;) and loves his older brother who is constantly giving him hugs and kisses, but also kicks him in the head on occasion (what are big brothers for?!) He is not as good as a sleeper as he was the first two weeks. He now wakes up every 2 to 3 hours to eat and gets super gassy at 3 in the morning. Last night he actually kept us all awake (including Alex), but thank goodness for gripe water. He gets so gassy that even gas drops dont help, but gripe water works miracles!! We feel really blessed to have him in our lives, for he is such a sweet little thing!!! I cant wait til he sleeps a little better, though. I actually do enjoy the bonding time we get together with a couple night time feedings, but every two or three hours is kind of rough!! I wish I could sleep in, but with Alex that's non existing, and with napping, they happen to not want to nap at the same time. I think they like making my life a little more stressfull!! I try to take a nap after Alex wakes up from his nap and Cam is finally asleep, but Alex throws toys at me, so it's kind of hard to sleep. Anyways, I cant wait for him to start smiling real smiles and he has started to try and coo, but i think that is about a wk away or so.

Bobby and Cam

Today the cousins (Bobby, Tara, and Mattingly) came over to play and Bobby wanted to hold Cam, so here are a couple pics from that:)

Some pics of my boys:) and update

Cam will be two weeks old tomorrow. Let me just say that he has been a dream!!! He is down to only waking up two times during the night. I put him to bed at 10, 10:30, just depends on when he wakes up to eat then he doesn't wake up until about 1:30 to 2:30 then he wakes up again at about 5:30 to 6:30 then sleeps until 8 when Alex wakes up. I just keep waiting for all hell to break loose, for him to just stop being so good, but hopefully he'll comtinue to be a good boy.

Our adjustment (mine and Alex's) to having another baby has been, also surprisingly easy.I really thought that Alex would become a complete monster, but he hasn't been all that bad. He is such a momma's boy i thought that he would freak out about the other baby taking most of my attention, but Alex really loves his little baby and doesn't mind me holding him. So far, all my fears have not been an issue, and HOPEFULLY!!!! they will continue to be a non issue.

Kids' dr app

So, today my kids had dr app's. Cam was a follow up after his circumcision, which has healed up very nicely and Alex was going to get shots but we realized it was just a little but too early (which was good because he was already super cranky!!) Cam has almost gained a whole pound since birth, weighing 7lbs 5ozs at todays app which puts him in the 25 percentile and Alex was 26lbs and about 34 inches long ( he wouldn't really hold still for the nurse to get a really acurate measurement) but he is in the 50 percentile for hight and weight. My boys are just growing so fast!! They need to slow down!! Anyways, other than Alex screaming most of the time, it was a good morning, spent with Aunt Noni, and myself of course:)!!

PIcs of my handsome baby boy!!
