Yeah sure, sometimes you wake up all sleep deprived. And then you look over at your kid and you think, OMG he is so cute and then he smiles at you and all of a sudden, you can't wait to start the day again.
Funny little holiday this Mother's Day. It was originally conceived by a woman named Anna Jarvis of West Virginia who held a memorial to her mother two years after her death. Thereafter she launched a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday and succeeded when Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday 1914. But, by the 1920s, Anna become disenfranchised by the commercialization of the day and she and her sister spent their family inheritance campaigning against the holiday. Both died in poverty.Jack is now 9 weeks old and recently went to the pediatrician for his 2 month well-baby exam. We learned that he is now over 12 pounds (an average of 60% of kids weigh less than he does) and is 22.5 inches long (an average of 30% of kids are shorter than he is) - all perfectly normal. He continues to be exclusively breastfed.
Jack is learning quickly and can now lift his head up 45 degrees, is much more vocal, laughs, and smiles spontaneously in addition to responsively.
Speaking of which, watch the following video as Jack giggles at Daddy's voice and hones his early language development skills in a conversation of the upcoming day's activities with Mommy.
