5 weeks!

Jamie will definitely be surpassing Em on physical milestones. He rolled over three times this morning! Safety disclaimers:

1 - This is the last time tummy time will take place on the couch, clearly.

2- I did not hop up to grab the camera to take this amazing footage. I had my media assistant (Emmeline) get it for me.

Car Seat Safety

If you have car seat(s) in your car, check out this website: http://www.seatcheck.org/. There are locations in every state that will check the installation of your car seat. We had a small problem with Jamie's about two weeks ago (his seemed to be rolling to the sides a bit much when we'd take a corner particularly fast...or at all.) I made an appointment with our local place, and they checked both Em's and Jamie's. Both were technically installed correctly, but had way too much wiggle room. It is scary to think that although both Shawn and I had checked both seats to make sure they were in right, these officers were able to tighten them so much more. Jamie's was also at the wrong angle. I'm sure they both would have been fine had we been in an accident, but there's only one way to know for sure, and I'm glad we didn't have to find out. They were able to do both seats in less than 30 minutes, so it's not like it was a big hassle.

Emmeline "Green Thumb"

We have started our garden! Emmeline loves to water her plants, and check to see how everything's growing. We have one planter with just herbs, one with just flowers, and one with veggies. To be honest, I don't even know what got planted, since Shawn did all of that. It will be a surprise for me!

What a Couple of Cuties!

She really does love him, she's not trying to twist his head off.

Tummy Time

How does a 2 week old contract pink eye? Don't know, but ours did it.

Speaking Poundage-wise...

Jamie was exactly 7 pounds when he was born. Like all babies, he lost a little after he was born, getting down to 6lbs 4 oz (I think) at his lowest. I took him for his 2 week check today and he's up to a whopping 7 lbs 13 oz! Whoooo! He's gained a net 1.5 pounds. That equals a LOT of nursing. Luckily, Jamie mastered breastfeeding about as quickly as Emmeline did. It's certainly not easy, but once mom and baby get it, things turn around. He weighs less than his big sister did at this age, but he'll catch up eventually.

I caught a gas smile. Priceless!
