Ceci comes to visit

Jill's mom, Ceci, came to visit and help out this week.  She arrived on Saturday and couldn't wait to get her hands on Jordan!  The week started out with Jordan sleeping a lot and eating well....but as the week went on, Jordan began crying a lot and having a lot of gas pains.  Mommy and Daddy tried every trick in the book, from Mylicon drops to Gripe water.  We also employed the 5 S's, a series of techniques that actually seem to help Jordan calm down.  All we can say is thank goodness for the swaddle and for our swing!

Ceci enjoyed holding and rocking Jordan everyday.  Most nights he slept well, only waking up to eat...but one night he really put us to the test by crying almost all night no matter what we tried!  That was a really tough night and thank goodness Ceci was here or we wouldn't have been able to catch up on our sleep the next day.  We think it's safe to say that Jordan has colic and we are learning to roll with it.  Hopefully it won't last too long!

We were able to dress Jordan for his first Clemson game, with a matching shirt for Daddy.  Clemson won, so that will be something he can brag about when he (hopefully!) goes to school there!  We also had a photo session in order to find the perfect picture for Jordan's birth announcement...which we did and geez, is Jordan cute!  He cooperated so well during all the pictures that Mommy took.

Clemson fans!
