Boulder Creek Festival and Cadi!

Here are some pictures of Jack at the Boulder Creek Festival yesterday. He had a great time seeing the sights and meeting his friend Cadi in real life! Cadi's mom Cori is a coworker of mine. We were both pregnant at the same time and both had preemies in the same NICU! We always swap stories about motherhood and our darling babies.


Cadi's not too impressed with meeting Jack...



Chillin' in their strollers.





So cute together!!

7 Month Update

Jack is now over 7 months old. Where does the times go? He's also almost 17 lbs! He's quadrupled his weight since he was born. He's still growing out of some of his 3 month clothes, but he's mostly on to the 6 month size now.

The other big news is that he is sitting up on his own! He loves being able to sit up and reach for his toys and see the world around him.

He's also growing in some hair (it looks a little reddish to me) and his eyes are definitely not blue anymore...in fact, they are the exact green-brown color of Adam's.

Surprisingly (for me), I'm still breastfeeding. At first I thought "I'll try it for a few days," then it was "At least for the first six weeks..." then I thought I'd quit once I went back to work full time, but...I'm still doing it. I pump twice a day, every day, at work and feed Jack twice in the evening and once in the morning at home. So, it's a lot of work. But hooray for me! At this point, it would be harder to quit than to keep on going, so I don't see stopping any time in the immediate future. Anybody have any suggestions on weaning (and dealing with it physically and emotionally)?

Okay, that's all for now. I know I'm not very good at updating this, but the evenings are pretty short when I get home at 4:30 and Jack goes to sleep at 7:30. I usually want to crawl into bed right after we put him down!
