good news: he's back up to birth weight which means i'm feeding him right! it took two stressed-out weeks, but i'm proud to report we just about have the nursing thing down. it's not a joke when i say i count this among my bigger accomplishments in life.
our pediatrician gives us awesome reading material on child development and such, and tonight we read some of it together. one part says, "talk to your baby often to help him develop language skills. describe what you're doing throughout the day. for example, 'this is a washcloth. i'm washing your hands. i love you.'" maybe i'm just sleep deprived but i thought this was hilarious. now b and i walk around telling jack all sorts of things like "you just exploded in your diaper. i love you." and "i'm going to kiss your dad now. i love you." good times. i'm still laughing about it.
two weeks and one day till we move back to utah! i can't believe how fast the summer has gone -- i'm sad to leave colorado for sure, but i'm weirdly excited to get back to utah. or maybe i just miss my cowboy boots and crockpot.
in closing, here's a few more pictures from tiffany, just because they're adorable. my baby is now asleep so i'm going to bed. i really love sleep.

beautiful! you have one cute little boy on your hands!
and I can't wait for you to come back to UTAH. I didn't realize it was so close... YAH!
I'd be missing my cowboy boots and crockpot too, if we were separated. I can't wait for you to come back! I can't wait to meet Jack! He's such a cutie.
Oh my gosh- that first picture of J is to die for!! So cute!! P.S. Jealous that nursing only took you 2 weeks to figure out. Took me a MONTH!
still think he's as handsomely beautiful as ever! what a sweet post lynds... keep em coming!
haha, I love this post for so many reasons. First, I believe it is a a MUST to have one middle of the night blogpost once you become a mom. Second, I love that you explain to baby jack that he exploded his diaper...too funny. Next, HOORAY that he is nursing! Way to go, you are my hero. And lastly, I LOVE the pictures and want to eat him up. So cute.
helloooooo! 2 1/2 weeks? That's amazing!!! Can't wait to meet Jack and I'm so glad his feedings are going better. I'm trying not to be nervous about how that will go over for us.
J is just SO freaking precious. I can't get enough. I may have to make a special trip to Utah just to meet him. Good luck with the move!
i'm excited that you are coming back to utah! hurry back so i can see you and meet little jack!
Cuuuute. I'm excited that you'll be back soon, although I know you'll miss Colorado.
