Jack's Likes and Dislikes

I know he's young, but Jack is already establishing his likes and dislikes. Many of them are not the same as Mommy's likes and dislikes!

LIKES: Being held. When he is sleeping and doesn't realize that he is not being held, he's fine. If he's awake and aware that he is not in your arms, he cries.

DISLIKES: Being put down when he is hungry.

LIKES: Eating out of a bottle.

DISLIKES: Breastfeeding but will eat the pre-pumped variety.

LIKES: Riding in the car. He falls asleep as soon as we put him in the car. I have had to pull over a couple of times to check that he is breathing.

DISLIKES: Being put into the car seat and strapped in.

LIKES: Feeding time.

DISLIKES: Waiting for feeding time. The 5 minutes it takes to warm up a bottle are like an eternity for a very impatient Jack who is never shy about expressing his displeasure.

LIKES: Snuggly jammies

DISLIKES: Diaper changes. It's hit or miss. If you change him after a feeding, when he is in a milk coma, he may be okay. Change him before and he'll scream bloody murder.

LIKES: Bath time. He seems to love laying in the water. He gets this look on his face like he is thinking and remembering what it was like being in the womb.

DISLIKES: Being taken out of the bath. He doesn't like being cold and naked. He expressed his displeasure about his first bath by pooping in his towel.

LIKES: Peeing in Mommy and Daddy's face when they are trying to change a diaper. We go through, on average, 3 outfits a day due to things like this.

DISLIKES: Knocking the pacifier out of his own mouth and not being able to find it.

LIKES: Laying in bed with Mommy and Daddy and snuggling up.

DISLIKES: Tummy time--though he is a good sport about it.

LIKES: Farting

DISLIKES: His blocked tear duct when Mommy wipes it and puts ointment in his eye.
