Jack at 7 weeks old





He is such a happy little guy! He smiles so much and coos and already laughs! He blows bubbles and holds his head up very well, now. Actually, it is hard to burp him because he is so strong and he stiffens up and holds his head high. He rides very well in the car and doesn't mind eating in restaurants like Greta did -he just looks around and then dozes off. We do have a rough time in the evenings when Jack just doesn't seem comfortable, but we draw a warm bath for him and soothe him with a baby massage. We still aren't sleeping more than 4 hours at a time, and every night is different, but we are ok with it and are doing what makes Jack thrive, even if we suffer a bit.

And, Jack is really starting to acknowledge Greta and react to her attention! He loves it and smiles at her and kicks his legs at her. I must admit that the joy he brings me is absolutely doubled by seeing how he and Greta love each other already. I get to watch their relationship blossom. Family is pretty darn cool.
