Eating...

We are at the end of another week. Today Callen is officially four weeks old...Sunday he will be one month old. Time has completely flown by. I really wish it would slow down, I just want to relish all those moments...even though I know things just get better with their age.

Callen has been on his colic medicine for a week now...we still have our moments! However, we have had three peaceful evenings in a row....each night Jason and I hold our breath until about 10. I am just happy that we have a happy baby once again.

Speaking of happy...Callen just laughed for the first time as I was writing this. He was sleeping on my lap and woke himself up because of his laughter. It was rather cute, and brought tears to my eyes. He started really smiling this week (I know, some will say it is gas), but it really is a smile.

Now onto the title of this post...EATING. Not just Callen, but me too! This week C has started to want to eat about every 1 or 1.5 hours. Which is fine (I guess)...I guess he has to keep up with that 10 lb baby body. I of course thought this eating was a little much; however, the doctor said let him eat as much and whenever he wants! Great, thanks Dr. Dimski!

Now, onto my eating. Since C has colic I watch very closely what I eat...which is difficult! I for one love Mexican food...and of course that is out of my diet...along with anything else with flavor. I find myself reading all the ingredients in something and then find myself disappointed when it has garlic or other spices in it. So..I eat bland, boring food. I make two batches of food when I cook. One with flavor for Jason and one blah for me. It is totally worth not getting to enjoy eating if it helps Callen feel better...but, I can't wait for some good food with flavor! Also, with his colic I have once again given up pop/tea etc....which is really hard since a good night's sleep hasn't been had in four weeks...however, if it makes C better I will gladly give up my COKE.

We have a wonderful little boy that loves to be held (maybe too much)...however, I hold anytime he wants it because it won't be long before he will be too big to be held. It doesn't help that he was sick all last week and didn't want to leave my arms. Guess, that is pretty much my fault. Jason told him last weekend he needed to be independent...I don't think C listened to his dad. Which is fine with me...I will love him up!

Things are seeming to look up in the Life of Callen...hopefully it will continue!
