Project Yearbook: Week 5

This is being posted a little too late because Ziggy’s fifth week actually ended last Monday and his sixth week will end tomorrow. Anyway, better late than never. Here are my favorite fifth week photos of our baby boy.

Ziggy has been growing so much and people actually don’t believe he’s only five weeks old. Some of his newborn clothes are so close to not fitting anymore and will probably won’t fit by the end of the month or earlier. He’s so heavy that he really gives my arms a workout whenever I carry him, which is a lot of the time lately.

Though he’s developing normally, he also got colic, which started on his 3rd week. I know it’s normal but it’s a pain, not just for him but for me as well. Sometimes it occurs late afternoon or at night when I try to put him to bed. He keeps crying, won’t eat and won’t even accept his pacifier. Sometimes not even rocking him to sleep works. Not even music works. Sometimes nothing works. It’s enough to drive me crazy especially since I’m the only one who takes care of him at night since his daddy works nights. I feel like I’ve tried every trick in the book. The only thing to do is to wait until it fades and he’s able to finally go to sleep, which may take up to 2 LONG hours. The fact that this could last up to his 3rd month just kills me!

All in all, though, we’re enjoying him more everyday since he’s awake for longer periods of time. We’ve taken him out a lot already. We’ve taken him to church, to the mall, to the grocery, etc, and he’s been good all the time, just pretty much sleeping and letting us do what we need to do. He’s a really good baby and despite the colic, I am one happy mom.
