Jaydan had his 2 month check up on Friday April 18 (yes, I know I'm late posting this). At that time he weighed 11 lbs. 13 oz. and was 23.5" long. The boy is growing strong!! He's still sleeping pretty well - we get up about twice a night for diaper changes and he basically nurses at will at my side. His doctor says he's growing great and is super healthy... we couldn't ask for more than that!!
We had a BIG weekend for his 2 month "birthday" too. Friday night we went out with Donnie and Joy and Jeff and Kelley to the Met for a nice dinner. It was Jaydan's first night out in Seattle and he was fantastic! He slept for the beginning of the meal and then was anxious to watch everyone around us throughout. He loved spending time in Joy's arms at the table too. Then, Saturday night we went out with Bill and Linda for Dirk's 34th birthday. We had yummy Thai food at Indochine (our favorite south end spot) and he slept through the entire meal!! He was really, really good and because of his happy disposition at every Grandma and Papa visit, they're starting to think that we're lying that he ever cries.
Anyway, things are well and the boy is amazing. We love him more than words could ever describe. He's so much fun and we're ecstatic to have him!

Jaydan's Blessing
Last Wednesday Jaydan had his baby blessing. We held the ordinance at my parents house and Daniel gave the blessing; Bishop Lee (from our Duvall ward) came as well as the Novelty Hill ward Elders. It was very nice and I know that I'll remember it forever. Jaydan looked so sweet in his white outfit. It was amazing - he was extremely fussy all up until the blessing and once Daniel took him and all the men started bouncing him in their hands, he calmed down and was completely relaxed. Of course, shortly after he was desperate to eat (again).

To DIE for...
PCC has wheat-free zucchini muffins that are TO DIE FOR!! I highly recommend them... they're good even if you don't have to avoid wheat products!!

Diets Don't Work
At baby showers, at your in-laws... diets are just plain TOUGH.
So, for gas and colic reasons, I've been put on a NO dairy and NO wheat diet for Jaydan. The dairy thing has been going on for several weeks now and has made a somewhat noticeable difference. The subtraction of wheat from my diet began Wednesday April 2 and is on trial for at least 2 weeks. We'll see how this all goes. Seriously though, the dairy wasn't that rough on me to give up. This wheat thing has been a rocky road - ever since committing to giving it up, all I've wanted are baked goods and bread... go figure! In all this change, I've been surprised to find out all the things that I CAN eat. I found wheat-free fig newtons that are really good, gluten and lactose free macaroons that are AMAZING, wheat-free granolas and oatmeals, gluten free pancake mix and all-purpose flour, and I saw some gluten free blackberry muffins that I'm dying to try. That's just the beginning of the adventurous snacks that I've tried... dairy hasn't been too much trouble since there is lactose free milk/soy milk available everywhere. The hardest part about the no dairy has been avoiding foods with butter. Oh well.
I went to Steph Fuhriman's baby shower on Saturday - she's about 6 months along and I'm SO excited for her. But, even in the midst of the happiness, all I wanted to eat was the pasta salad and chocolate covered strawberries! I succumbed the temptation and settled for a plate of grapes. Then, today at my in-laws, there were homemade chocolate chip cookies and chocolate sundaes! Wow, talk about feeling left out! ;) No, I know that even though I complain this is all for the health and well being of my baby. Hopefully it won't last forever (his pediatrician thinks that about 12 weeks will do it) and I'll be able to go back to the unhealthy foods that I crave.

Nothing new...
Well, it's been awhile (again) since I've updated the life in the Huebner house. The main luxury that Dirk and I have been experiencing lately is SLEEP. Jaydan is sleeping for 3 and 4 hours at a time at night!! It's AMAZING and is making life much more enjoyable.
Jaydan is still a bit colicky... he fusses every night from 5 or 6 until about 10 or 11. It's rough for Dirk because that's pretty much the only time that he gets to spend with him during the weekdays. I think it's getting frustrating for him because he would LOVE to see him when he's more content.
Not much else is new... Grandma Linda and Papa Bill are home from Arizona now so we're looking forward to spending some quality time with them. Jaydan has changed so much so it will be fun to see their reaction. He's in 3 month clothes so he's definitely bigger!
