Here is Jack at 5 weeks old…

Jack is growing! He has finally reached just over 7 pounds and we are thrilled. We also changed pediatricians and I am worrying so much less about…everything. He not only checked out our Jack, but checked in with me and helped put so many things in perspective. Whew – what a difference the right doctor makes. I am a much calmer Mama.

Jack often passes out after breastfeeding, which I find adorable. Here he is after a bender…

We tried Jack in the sling carrier for a walk to the grocery store, which was fun. We plan to take many more walks throughout the neighborhood as I gain strength…

Here are a couple of cute photos from Week 5…

This week our boy finally fits into newborn pajamas, so he no longer has to wear the same pair of pants to keep his legs warm. I am enjoying seeing him wear new colors and get cozy in his pjs.

Jack is still waking up to eat about every 2 hours at night, but we started using the Happiest Baby on the Block technique and WOW, he goes right back to sleep afterward and so do we. Hooray for the Five S’s! Sometimes I sneak him into the bed with us and he snuggles in the early morning for a bit. He is such a great cuddle buddy.

And for his final Week 5 photo, Jack is caught with his tongue out…

Jack weighs 7lbs, 1.9ozs and measures 19 3/4 inches. We’re gonna fatten up those thighs!
