Turning the Corner



We finally turned the corner with Ozzy being a difficult baby.....we think.  Now he has been taking the bottle really well, cries so much less, and plays by himself on the mat or in his swing very well.  He is such a chill boy now and it is such a difference from the first couple of months.  I used to be terrified of being home alone with him because if he was hungry he wouldn't take a bottle from me so he would cry (no exaggeration) for hours until Em got home to feed him the way he demanded.  All that is behind us.....hopefully.  (Although I think I'm still struggling with a mild form of PTSD from my trauma.  Here is a few pics of the new, chill Ozzy (with the exception of the first pic:



This is the look he gave us before the waterworks started

It Hasn't Been Easy

Ozzy isn't quite as "easy" of a baby as Owen was.  That isn't to say isn't a sweet baby or cute or anything.  He is amazing!  I only mean that he may have a little tummy issues that make him very uncomfortable after feedings that if you don't get burps or toots out....he is very uncomfortable.  This makes him very irritable and difficult to get him to rest.  

Today he is 7 weeks old and he was very good this evening.  He laid on his mat right beside me on the couch for about an hour just cooing and sucking on a pacifier (also a tool which we didn't use much with our 1st child).  I hope this is a "turn of the corner" for Ozzy....as it is exhausting for Em & I to try to figure out what else we can do to help him.  

Here are a few pics of the little guy in his short time with us:


At least he is very cute


Finally sleeping


Emily was convinced he had jaundice...
until the yellow rubbed off on her cheek.
