Jayden Matthew & Eli Samuel

Hey everyone!! Sorry we're lame and its been a few weeks since we updated the blog. Jayden is now 7 1/2 weeks old. Can you believe it? We had his 8 week check up a bit early so Daddy could come before he heads off for Kenya. Jayden weighed in at a strapping 9 pounds, 10 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches long!!! That means he's gained 3 pounds and 7 ounces since coming home and grown 2 1/2 inches!! The doctor said he looks "just great"! He also had his first round of shots and screamed like crazy but recovered pretty quickly. His reflux is getting a little better. We have good days and bad days. He's sleeping like a champ some nights, even going 10-5:30 one night (Sarah thought she'd died and gone to heaven!). He is now on Prilosec for his reflux which is helping way more than the Zantac did. So yay for that. Here are a BUNCH of pictures since its been so long!!

This one is very exciting!!! We took Jayden to his first Dodger game and he met a Dodger, Wilson Betemit!! And after meeting Jayden and rubbing his head, Betemit went 3 for 4 with a double, single, and a home run. We think Jayden is good luck!!














Here's Jayden hanging out in his crib one day, watching his "birdies" (its a mobile with birds on it, we're just weird and call it his time with his birdies!).













Here's some from today of him sitting up against the couch cushions. He's become quite the little smiler but its hard to catch on film. And then here's one of him asleep on Daddy, his favorite place to sleep. Daddy doesn't mind too much either.













And then here's one Sarah caught of him crying. He really didn't cry very much for the first four or five weeks so we kind of think its cute still. I'm sure if he screamed a lot we wouldn't!! Thanks so much for checking in and reading. And any of you L.A. folk, Sarah will be around for two weeks so come by, call, come see Jayden!!
