2 months old

Ethan is 2 months old today. We had his baby well check and here are his stats:

Height: 24 1/4 inches (90 percentile)

Weight: 12 pound 4 ounces (60 percentile)

Head: 14 inches, i think (25 percentile)

He is getting bigger by the day and he is also a lot more active. He smiles and coos for us all the time. It is so fun to talk to him and get a reaction from him. At the doctors today some kids were playing and he just sat on my lap and watched them. It was so cute to see him focused and interested on what the kids were doing.

Okay, so it has been a long time since I posted and a lot has happened around here. So to start it off her is my post that I started on January 31st.

6 going on 7 weeks:

I can't believe Ethan is almost 7 weeks old and that Jeff has to go back to work on Monday!

He is going to need a lot of coffee to get going in the mornings as we are still learning all about Ethan. He has decided it is a wonderful idea to scream and cry from around 7 or 8pm until 1 or 3am. It is sad when we feel lucky to be asleep at 1am. And assuming he went down at 1 he is up at 3, 5, 7 etc... and every time he wants to eat!

However, he is a great baby during the day and we are having so much fun with him, we just don't want to have to go back to work just yet!!

And since I haven't posted in a couple weeks here are a couple of pictures, he is getting so big!!

So that post was never posted because Ethan went from screaming and crying at nights to screaming and crying all the time, so obviously there was no time to blog.

The painful crying lead to some googling and self diagnosis of the problem, which we then confirmed with the doc. Ethan has acid reflux and food allergies. He is most likely allergic to dairy and soy, but this won't be confirmed until a blood test at 3 months. I have changed my diet and must avoid all foods with allergens and caffeine(ouch, that one hurts). But since my diet has changed and the meds for reflux kicked in he is one happy baby who finally sleeps again!!

So now that my baby is better I can blog and share some cute pics of Ethan.

*** okay, I lied no pics on this post....but pics to come along with the story of Ethan's first visit to the ER, don't worry he's okay!!
