Where did the past 6 weeks go? I can't believe Derek is going to be 6 weeks tomorrow. He is growing like a weed and is adjusting to his new life outside of my belly. He's a wonderful baby that loves to do baby things...eat, sleep, cry, etc, etc. Derek has a little bout of reflex which he is zantac for (seems to be helping a little). But, he doesn't like to lay flat on his back because of that. So, lots of baby carrying and tummy time for the little man. And, he likes to eat ALL THE TIME so hopefully he'll be even more rolly polly here pretty soon...

So, I am now a fan of "baby wearing." I got this wrap (Moby baby wrap) and although it takes some getting used to initially to tie it up, it is fantastic. Derek loves it and I love that my hands are free. I rotate between this and the bjorn to get any kind of cooking or house cleaning done. Highly recommend!

He starts like this...

And ends like this...(actually he's flipped over to his back a few times from his belly). He's our little "Shaker and Mover."

Bright eyes

One of his favorite positions. Laying on his belly, a little inclined on the boppy, and legs squished underneath him.

The back view


1 month photo op. He looks thrilled
