The Passage of Time


My baby boy is already two months old. Every single day I look at him in utter amazement of how he is growing and changing. He is the most wonderful thing I've ever (and will ever) done with my life. At his two month appointment he weighed a whopping 13lbs1oz and was 24.5 inches long. He received five shots (3 pokes, they can combine 3 of them) and screamed while they did it...my poor baby. He was fine until they actually poked him. He was fussy later that evening and ran a slight fever. Other than though he was fine. I love seeing how he is responding to our smiles and our laughs too. If I lean over and smile at him he just smiles back and coos at me. It's so great!!!


As some of you may know, our little monster had terrible gas. Seriously, he would fart and it would smell like a man...and he would get so backed up he would scream. We would give him Mylicon drops and that would calm him down almost instantly but I hated having to give him those. They are not absorbed into the system which is awesome but still...I just didn't like it. So, I was speaking to a friend about the formula she gives her daughter and decided to make the switch myself. Seriously...the past few days he's been on it he has had almost zero gas (just a few farts) and has been the happiest baby in the world. He wasn't very fussy to begin with unless his tummy got really hard but now he only fusses when he is fighting sleep or "starving"! So THANK YOU, NIKKI! I know you didn't try and get me to change but I did thanks to you so Caleb and I are grateful. :)


So did anyone out there know that some babies have one pupil that dilates larger than the other and it's just completely normal? Well, I did not. So our little man was into the pediaric eye doctor yesterday morning to get that checked out. Thankfully, he is just fine!!! <3>


We went looking at houses this past weekend and Tanner & I found one we just love. The rep said he would be there for at least the next 18 months selling those specific models so we are hoping to purchase one within that time frame! There's so much going on in the next two years that there doesn't seem like there's enough money for everything but a house is on the priority list so I hope we get there!!


Well, I have a ton of work sitting on my desk...yuk!

Me?? I hate to assume, but all the details add up :). I am glad you made the switch. And to think, I was just telling you about it because it was SO much cheaper. What a bonus that it helps with the gas!! I am really glad you switched and I bet you are too.

I had never heard about the pupil dilating thing. Glad to hear it is normal.

What did your doctor tell you were the percentiles for Caleb? We had Serena's appt. yesterday and she was 12lbs8ozs and 23.5 inches which she said was 90th. But babycenter says differently so I was just wondering!

Caleb just gets cuter and cuter every day!
