Lil’ Man is doing **so** much better now that we’ve got the gas problem under control (yes, I’m still off dairy and all cruciferous vegetables, doing baby chiro with him, small amounts of probiotics for him and feeding him 100% breastmilk with no supplementation) and we are having **so** much fun with him. He’s just starting to gurgle, coo and shriek in delight. We’re routinely getting smiles and just waiting for that first peal of laughter.
His personality is starting to come through. He is very chill, very easy going and absolutely loves his shower time with Daddy (for that matter, his clear preference in parents is for Daddy right now). He’s also a big fan of both sets of Grandparents. We are so lucky to have such a supportive family on both sides.

Daddy calms Jamisen down by playing James Brown for him. It’s quite funny.
Lil Man is also getting some leg strength and some serious neck strength. He is adorable when he’s doing tummy time – he just kicks his little legs and is either delighted and falling asleep on his tummy or angrily kicking his legs out and demanding to know why I’ve plopped him unceremoniously on the floor. =)

Soooo adorable AM! The pictures of your family with your son are very sweet. Love the video of your hubby and your baby, too funny! I miss the baby stage, it goes by so quickly. I hope your getting some much needed rest now ๐
Laurie says
OMG so cute. I miss my boys being so little. Just wait until he starts talking and saying what’s on his mind. It’s hysterical. Enjoy!
Anne-Marie says
He’s already talking a lot but unfortunately, it’s in a language I can’t understand (ha ha). I read to him every morning though …
Joanna Schmidt says

We totally are – though they go by SO fast when you have to be in bed by 8 to even get 6 hours of sleep by the morning =)

Awwww. Kawaii desu! What adorable pix. Thanks, A-M! I am so happy to hear that things are calming down in the, ahem, gaseous area. What a GOR-jus fam.
Anne-Marie says
You and me both! It’s so much fun to see his personality when he’s not feeling ill (and therefore, ill-tempered!) =)
Stephanie Bismuth says
Oh!!! Makes me REALLLLLY want to have the kid number 2! You look so happy! Enjoy! He is already growing so fast!

bonnie says
Congrats! Children are the greatest blessing! Thanks for sharing your blessing with us.
Anne-Marie says
He is totally and completely the light of our lives. I cannot imagine not having him around – and he’s only been here six weeks! =)
Rebecca says
Seriously? What FUN. What super-duper FUN!
Tell your hubby another fun trick is if you hold ’em so their chest is leaning on your forearm, and you hold J’s one arm so he’s stuck to you like glue, and then hold his bum in your hand…you can make him DANCE! Put some James Brown to THAT! ๐
Anne-Marie says
I forwarded him your trick. He will LOVE it! Plus, anything else to console lil man is definitely something that we want in our bag of tricks =)
Clear says
Gorgeous Photo’s! Thanks for sharing your family, especially the precious lil man with us Anne-Marie ๐
Anne-Marie says
Aw, thanks. I’m pretty in-love with them all. My entire family is so supportive and great. =)
TeresaR says
Oh my gosh…are you guys the CUTEST family ever or what?! And I don’t know who’s the better dancer, your hubby or Jamisen? LOL!
Anne-Marie says
My husband clearly has the moves, doesn’t he? (ha ha). He’s such a good sport – I love to dance and he’s not so much a fan but he’ll go dancing with me every so often. Hopefully our son takes after me in the rhythm category!
