A little prune juice gets things moving...

Jed's a very healthy baby, but sometimes he gets a little...um...stopped up. This makes for a very uncomfortable baby. Here's Grandma Oswald giving Jed a bottle of good 'ol prune juice, at the recommendation of our pediatrition. The juice works (when he chooses to actually drink it!).

Can I Take My Tie Off Yet?!


We had a few weddings in late June and early July. Needless to say, he almost received as much attention as the brides . . .

After A Bath


I love to snuggle after a bath! OK, really I just love to snuggle!

Bath Time!


He's graduated to the kitchen sink . . . and is loving it! This was the first bath time with no crying . . . until it was time to get dressed.

Weeeeeee!


Well, not quite yet. This was Jed's first time on the swing - he really didn't know what to think about it yet.

My Circus Book


Elephants are neat! They come in such pretty colors!

Dad On Paternity Leave


Jarrod was blessed to be able to stay home with Jed for 5 weeks while I finished up the school year. They had a grand time - taking walks, talking, visiting mommy for lunch, and (best of all) napping!

Jedidiah Jump Up!


Jed just loves to kick, but for some reason knawing on the front of the seat is more interesting . . .
This is a rare moment of him 'jumping.'

Even sleeping can be dramatic!

I'm getting sophisticated!



I can hold my rattle for a long time now (like . . . 5 minutes)! Mommy is so proud!

I'm all bundled up to go watch my first soccer game! Aquinas vs. Holmen

He's growing too fast!



These two pics reiterate what all of the parents we know have already told us--"enjoy every moment with your children because they grow up so fast!" And to think its been only a few inches thus far!!

Shake, shake, shake!


Since the last post, I've transitioned back to teaching and Jarrod is now at home with our little one! While my mom was helping us with the transition we discovered that Jed would hold onto his rattle for short periods of time!

"I'm such a big boy!"


Jed hanging out on the front steps with Mommy. At his appt. on April 26 he was just shy of 13 pounds and 24 inches long.

Getting outside


Now that spring is here, we can take Jed outside on nice, warm days. He really takes in the sights and smells of the outdoors. (Mommy made sure he wore his cap in the sun).

Happy baby!

This is one of his first "real smiles" (i.e. not gas).

Sleepy

" Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....."
(actually, Jed makes more of a goosey "honk" sound when he sleeps than a "zzzzz")

Talking on the changing table


For some reason, Jedidiah loves to talk and smile on his changing table. Sometimes we spend several minutes just communicating after changing him.

Stripey jacket


Jed looks so handsome in stripes, doesn't he?

Making eye contact

Jed loves to look deep into your eyes.
