Eating: As a nice gentlemen said the other day, "He certainly doesn't miss a meal!" No, he does not. Meal time is every two hours with the exception of one longer stretch (maybe 3-4 hours) at night. He consumes anywhere from 4-6oz and likes to take his sweet ol' time. My milk supply was having a hard time keeping up with his demand but thankfully a friend of mine was awesome and gave me some of her breast milk to help feed him. I also started taking Fenugreek which has made a huge difference. I now have about 100 oz. of milk in the freezer.  I am hoping supply won't be an issue from now on but I've been given the all clear by our pediatrician to start giving him solids at four months if need be. 

Cheeks: Need I say more?

Sleeping: During the day he only takes cat naps, sleeping for maybe 20 minutes or so. You can see him fighting sleep while he's swinging back and forth. The whole time I'm like, "DUDE. Don't fight it. Sleep is awesome!" At night the longest stretch he's ever had was 7 hours, one time. At this point Ruby was sleeping 12 hours all on one stretch so I am anxiously awaiting for the time when Jasper will do the same. I've been pretty rested considering but that may all change when I return to work in a couple of weeks.

Disposition: Ruby was a good baby and I am grateful that Jasper is the same. He likes to snuggle more than Ruby did, he "talks" a lot and gives big smiles and laughs. He is ticklish, loves to stare up at his mobile and the painting by his changing pad. He's generally content with going along with whatever is going on which is good because he doesn't really have a choice! He likes to sleep in the car (so he road trips like a champ) and somehow, whenever shit is hitting the fan with Ruby he remains calm so that I can take care of her. I have thanked him several times for being so awesome. 

I don't know what it is, maybe it's because he's a squishy newborn and she's three, or maybe it's because I've stayed home with him longer but I am in l-o-v-e love with this little guy. Like I feel a stronger bond with him than I did with Ruby when she was the same age. If we were in Canada and maternity leave was a year long I could see myself staying home with him for that long. He's just so friggin' sweet! Those cheeks, his little chubby thigh, his willingness to let me to cram those little chubby thigh into skinny jeans. Yeah, he's a keeper!
