Well - we are in week 6 and I think Jacob is growing and changing lots! He has more control over his head now (building up his neck muscles) and he is starting to grab things that he means to grab. I can tell that he knows my voice and will follow it with his eyes, he is "talking" way more then before and I think he makes a new noise coo everyday?! Next week we have our 6 week appointments and then the week after that is his immunization and my surgery! That week will be a crappy week for both of us, I hope hubby realizes that he will have his hands full?! This weekend we are going to the annual slow pitch tournament out of town and I think I have everything in order for that!? I bought Jacob a little "Cars" (the movie) suitcase for all his clothes and stuff that he might need. The good thing about camping at the ball tournament is that it is still in the town so if I did forget anything I can run to the grocery store or Wal Mart to pick it up. I'm sure I will have to go there at least once!!
We changed the formula Jacob was on, originally it was Enfamil A+ but it seemed to make him constipated so we switched to Parents Choice (Wal Mart brand), which is a lot cheaper and it seems to agree with him more. So yesterday I went there to get more and I seriously stood in front of the formulas for about 20 minutes trying to figure them all out?! I noticed this time that there was a "regular Parents Choice" formula and beside it was "with Iron Parents Choice" ~~ the cans looked almost identical so I was trying to remember which one we had bought before and then I noticed another one that was "with Iron and Omega 3 and 6" still Parents Choice!??? So now I'm wondering which one is the best one to buy and is it OK to switch his formula again to one that may be better? What if it makes him plugged up again? But I know that Omega 3 and 6 are really good vitamins that he should probably have? and what if it was the Iron that made him have problems before? I know that it's the iron in prenatal vitamins that usually causes problems and if you can't handle it to switch to a different vitamin? It is soooooo confusing, why can't they just make one that is "cow based" and one that is "soy based" but make them the best ones? Why so many choices?!!? So I think I will go back to Wal Mart today and get the one with Omega 3 and 6, they are important and I don't think by adding extra vitamins to his formula will plug him up? ? At least I hope not!!

OMG!! He is so adorable!! I love the picture of your puppy and Jacob too :) Charley has just discovered the dogs tails and she just giggles, it is too cute! There are tons of more cute things to come. Isn't it wonderful when he coos and recognizes (sp?) you!? Keep posting the pics!! Sorry I can't comment as often. I usually just have time to read or read from work (where I can't comment) but I am sure you understand!! Enjoy him!!
We had Evan on the iron formula mostly because the omga one wasn't around yet. I say give it a try, he'll let you know if he doesn't like it, or his body will, so then just switch back. Evan got diffrent stuff for the first 2 months too, he's turned out fine, don't worry. Like everything there is some experintation involved.
Luv Ya, have fun in Edsen.
Jacob is the cutest wee munchkin I have seen in a while!
