What a blur!

After our first week with Faith she started having some really bad tummy problems, so we ended up switching her formula several times. The doctor said she is colicky due to an immature digestive system. Since this last change her stomach cramps have eased up quite a bit and she's getting a lot more sleep. We are VERY thankful for that. Colic should clear up by 3 months. That's not long, right?



Grandma Bonnie stayed with us all of last week and helped us out a lot! Dave and I even got to go on a date Friday night. Aunt Jenny, Uncle Scott and cousins Sam and Katie were here from Bismarck for a few days this week and helped me quite a bit. Dave had a work training in South Dakota, so the timing for help was just great. We had lots of fun with cousins!



When we visited Grandma J's a couple of weeks ago Isaiah had his Norwegian flag out, so Faith got her picture taken with it. She will surely know her heritage.

Getting some airing out time on the floor with Dad and big brother Oscar.

Faith's umbilical cord fell off, so she got to have her first real bath. She did very well and even kind of liked it!

Aunt Jane from Fargo stopped in to meet Faith on her way down to Minneapolis.

Faith in her ducky sleeper. It says "You Quack Me Up".

And in her cute strawberry sleeper. She's quite the fashionista.

Oscar decided he was going to help feed Faith. Or maybe just jealous that Faith gets all the attention from Mom. It would be nice if they made oversized glider rockers. Then I could juggle both a little easier. Oscar has been very good with her. When she cries he just hangs out nearby and plays with his toys or eats his bones. Every once in a while he just looks at me like "really, you're holding her again?" I think they'll be very good friends when she gets a little older.
