5 Week Update

Well, the honeymoon is over. About a week and a half ago Jason switched from the dream baby whom you could forget was in the house to a "regular" newborn who fusses & cries & requires work to settle down. He has not been too bad, but he has definitely required constant attention from Brad or I throughout the day because he chooses not to sleep. This of course has led to a behaviour change in Sydney.

To start Sydney was pretty good with the transition, cut over the last few weeks there has been a progression of behaviour changes. First she wanted to be carried everywhere, then would cry when she fell, then began to whine & cry for most things that she wanted, and finally if our tone is at all "stern" with her she will cry. All behaviours I believe are normal, but I hope that we move out of this phase soon & see the return of our happy-go-lucky little girl. Brad went back to work today & Sydney returned to daycare, so maybe the return to our regular routine will help move things forward.

Jason had a doctor's appointment today & here are the results:
Weight: 9 lbs 8 oz
Length: 54 cm (20.5 inches)

It looks like Jason is growing nicely. Well I definitely see that Jason is his daddy's boy. Strong genes there. Sounds like the two's may be hitting Sydney, those were similar trends Macie went through when the two's came close. Hope things settle with both soon. Great smile by the way.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 16th
