Our little man....

I absolutely adore this little guy! He is an early riser and I get a little annoyed sometimes with how early, but then I get to see this smile and it just melts my heart.
So Jared and I's schedules are a little crazy. I am back to work at Primary Children's working a 7on/70ff schedule on the graveyard shift (7:15pm-5:45am). Jared works M-F 5:45am-2:15pm at the U of U hospital. So on my weeks on, he drives Jamison up to the hospital, we switch cars, I go home with Jamison and Jared goes to work. While at home, I try to sneak in what sleep I can when Jamison takes his little cat naps (how do I get this guy to take longer naps??!). Jared gets home around 2:30pm, I try to be in bed by 3:00 and get a few hours of sleep before getting up and getting ready for work. Jared get Jamison during the night time and most nights he is up several times after 1:00am. So needless to say, each of us are extremely sleep deprived. We try and take little naps along with Jamison when we can.
When Jamison is awake, he is very curious about things around him and will stare at things for several minutes trying to figure it out. He already has some great facial expressions. He cracks me up sometimes.
He is a little bi-polar when it comes to tummy time. He is okay for the first 5 minutes smiling and cooing and then he starts screaming bloody murder out of nowhere.
It fits! This adorable outfit was giving to him by GG (great grandma). I love it! So soft and comfy. Such a handsome little guy :)


It is so fun to see this little guy progress everday! He loves to chatter! I don't know where he gets that from :) I can't wait to hear his laugh! His eyes are still mostly blue. We will just have to wait and see if they stay that way. The last few days he has decided his hands are the best things to suck on. And he is noisy when he does! We got one of those baby play mats and he loves to look at the flashing light and music playing above his head. He is so adorable in the morning! When he gets up I change him and then put him in his swing for a little bit so I can eat. He just smiles and chatters away! I think I will keep him..........although, when he gets up for the 5th or 6th time in the middle of night I am not so sure).

Yeah, those little babies are so precious but really tough on the sleep! Esp with you working those hours man! You guys are way busy. One book I would recommend is Babywise. It works for some and not for others. It worked really well with Skylee but not for Jaston so it depends on the temperament and stuff. Anyway it might be good to check it out. Good Luck! you are doing amazing!
