Poor little J...he didn't like the water but now he loves it!

Jonathon is 4 months old now!

I can't believe my little J is 4 months now. We took him in for his 4 month appt and he weighs 14lbs and 6 oz and he is 24 1/4 inches long. He is now in the 25th percentile as compared to the 50th last time we checked him at 2 months. He is still a healthy boy! Jonathon is "talking" to us constantly and really starting to grab for objects to put in his mouth. Jonathon has also rolled over! Yay good job little man! He is such a good baby and is very low maintenance. He sleeps all night with the exception of getting up once and we put a pacifier in his mouth and he goes back to sleep. He is still drinking breastmilk (yes I am pumping at work) and I plan on feeding him until he gets teeth or just decide to be done, but my goal is 9 months old for Jonathon. He has been ok'd to have rice cereal and we have started it but he doesn't know if he likes it yet. We try it about every other night. He has also tried bananas and seems to like those. My pediatrician told me that really he doesn't need solid foods right now because breastmilk is really all he needs until he is 6 months old.

We have been taking some fun trips this summer like going to Yankton camping with the Gould's, we have been camping with my parent's in Okoboji twice this summer, once on memorial day and once on my b-day. Jonathon loves being outside and Jamison has a blast camping too!

Jamison has his 3rd b-day coming up and we will be doing a "Cars" theme along with a pool party at Steve and Roxanne's house.

Jamison is doing really well with Jonathon and he gives him kisses good night and plays with him. Jonathon also laughs at Jamison and they just keep eachother entertained for a little while. We love spending time with our boys!

Jonathon is 2 months old!

Well I realized that I haven't written for awhile and I better post something soon about our little bug. We celebrated Jonathon being one month old on April 19th with Steve and Roxanne coming over and we made supper and even topped it off with some cupcakes (which Jamison loved) Jonathon weighed about 10lbs according to our baby scale and was eating every 2-3 hours day and night.

I took Jonathon in for his 2 month appt a week ago and he weighs 12lbs and 6 oz and is 23.5 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for head circumference, height, and weight.  He is so much bigger than Jamison and we love having our chunky baby! He is eating every 3-4 hours now and only gets up once during the middle of the night which makes for one happy mommy! My mom (grandma) will be staying with Jonathon until he is 12 weeks old so he doesn't have to go to daycare until then. We love having Grandma around! Also Jonathon is starting to coo and smile a lot and he even rolled from his back to his tummy twice when we were outside..but I haven't seen it since.

We also got Jonathon baptized on Mother's day and it was the best Mother's day present ever. Then we had all of the family over for some fried turkey with the fixings. Also recently we have been camping in Okoboji with my parents and have gone to the zoo twice. We have had so much fun. I will be posting pictures soon!

Jonathon is almost 2 weeks old!

Wow I can't beleive almost 2 weeks have gone by already. Andy has been off the whole time and is now going back to work. He has been a big help with taking care of Jamison while I am breastfeeding Jonathon. Jonathon eats about every 2 hours to hour during the day and sometimes 2 hours to 3-4 hours during the night if I am lucky. = ) We had taken him in for his first well visit the day after we were discharged from the hospital and he was a little jaundice so I went to the hospital and they did a bilirubin and it was 11. 5 which the normal for 3 day old baby. His weight at the Dr's office was 6lbs. We had a follow up visit on Tuesday of this week and Jonathon weighed in at 6lbs. 10 oz. He had gained 10 oz already and he didn't need his bilirubin rechecked. We also got the newborn screen back and it was negative. We were so excited for this because with Jamison he was positive for the CF gene and we had to do further testing.

Jamison is really good with Jonathon and likes to hold him, however he has been more naughty than normal. He is just adjusting to the new life with his brother. I hope the adjustement doesn't last too long. ; )

Also last week we bought a new car. It was a big day for the Gould household. We went to the Inifinit dealership in Omaha and bouth an Infiniti G37x. We love it and Jamison calls it his "race car".

Here are some recent pics of our new family of 4! http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157629621513925/
