5 Weeks: Smiles, Coos & Dairy Free

Week five of Jake Martin's precious life have brought little coos, 2 real smiles for Mommy, and a check-up at the pediatrician. He weighed 9lbs,13oz (50th %ile) and measured 22" (50th %ile). He checked out great, except Dr.Hunsinger noticed his belly looked bloated. Because of that and since he still has congestion from birth (due to C-section), she recommended I go dairy free. She also had me start him on probiotics and gripewater. He's a lot less gassy, but still has some congestion. I thought a dairy free diet would be a lot harder than it actually is; I'm sooooo thankful for coconut creamer for my coffee! Sleep is going well; he did a 7.5 hour stretch last night/this morning. Enjoy this week's pictures!

All ready for Tuesday morning Bible study in a cute shirt from Nadine&Daniel



Jake reminds us so much of Sydney when she was a baby.

Sweet times

Reid dressed himself like this...accessorized with the lunch box and all! He says he's in the army when he wears this raincoat.

I asked Ethan to rock Jake's carseat when he was crying and I was packing lunches. Check out the rope; Ethan said he made "an electric machine!"

Love the pics. Your family is beautiful.

Sarah Kramer is a name you should google. She has amazing vegan cookbooks. Even if you aren't giving up the meat, you'll find great things within her cookbooks for pancakes, breads, sides, main dishes and such.

Have a great week!
