Like a Weed

Little Man is growing so fast! He had an appointment last week on Friday and was 8 pounds, 9 ounces fully dressed. He'll be a nine pounder in no time!

The bad news from his appointment is that the poor baby has reflux. He's got some medicine that is helping, but he still has some episodes of sore tummy. We're looking into some other soothing options since he is downing gripe water along with Zantac and gas drops almost every day. It's heartbreaking to see the pain on his face after he eats. We are learning what helps each feeding, so hopefully he'll be fixed soon.

In other news- the boy proved his courage when a tornado blew by recently. We avoided damage, but the storm did pass right over us. It touched down nearby and there is quite a bit of damage in our area. Charlie and I hung out in the closet as the storm neared. He did not care for the lightning and the roaring sound was enough to literally scare the poopies out of him. Yes, it was scary, but Champ survived with very little crying.

We'll have pictures and updates from the 5 week appointment later this week.
