Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Jack is really starting to show his personality and it is so fun to interact with him. Here are a few shots from the other day...he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and LOVED it.

Rub a dub dub

Since it took awhile for Jack to loose his umbilical cord, we have been patiently waiting for our first real "big boy" bath! Unfortunately, our little man wasn't so excited....at least for the bath part. He did enjoy his nice robe afterwards (hey who doesn't!)

'Nuff Said


Liquid Gold

Our family has started the next step in our baby journey with the process of pumping our breast milk. The thought being that we can express milk and save/freeze it for when I start back to work in a few months...that way when Baby Jack is at Daycare (ohh yeah, I need to figure that out too...ok on the list for Monday) he can still get mommy's milk. Also, in the short term, it will allow Daddy to help feed Jack with all those late night feedings;)



Well - mommy always heard of "liquid gold" and how precious this milk is once expressed...well I didn't realize that term was so right on. I have been pumping for 2 days now and I swear the MOST I get is 2 oz at a time...usually it is just 1 oz. So in addition to the many normal feedings for Jack mommy is also trying to squeeze in 3-4 pumping sessions just to get one bottle at night for daddy....



How is this all going to work???? When do you get ahead and start freezing, etc??? I've read that you begin to produce more milk as the baby gets older, hope so or I may start scouring Ebay for mama's milk;) just kidding.



On a separate note - new photos of Baby Jack below....Don't forget to check out our Facebook page as well where we can post more than just a few pics.

The many faces of Jack Reid,,,,

People always tell us that the name "Jack Reid" reminds them of a secret agent or spy....well our little man has proven that he has many many different faces - so could easily disguise himself as a variety of different personalities. You can see from the pictures below and from some previous posts. He is very versatile;)

Sweet Dreams


I love sleeping in my mommy's lap and dreaming of playing with my Daddy and my doggie Doodles. You can tell by the smile on my face that I really love it here;)

Our first family date


And if anyone knows the Reid's it is not a surprise that our first family dinner date out was at DuClaw down the street. Everyone there was so happy to see and meet Jack! It was nice for mommy to get out and sit out on the patio for dinner with the fresh air.
