11 Weeks Old

Sorry buddy! I got behind on your weekly updates! You have been a joy to be around. I can tell your reflux is getting under control and over all you are a happy baby.

You are a wild thing and colicky around 2-5 everyday and its rough. But I am hoping to figure something out to get us both through that time!


I swear you are teething because of all of the drool, rash and the fact that you keep putting your hands in your mouth but the ENT said you weren't. Speaking of which you saw the ENT this week and you did well. I felt so bad for you! They did an endoscopy on you, used a microscope in your ears and nose and cleared them out. I had to help hold you down it broke my heart but I guess its just part of the job. The ENT said you only had milk swelling. AMEN!

You started nursing a few weeks ago. Not full meals more like snacks but it was something. Then this week you are actually latching on and taking meals. We have nursed several times a day which is so awesome!

We also are starting to get on a schedule. At 5 I bathe you and start the whine down process. You are passing out around 7 and I started going to bed around then as well. Before I would stay up and go to bed around 10 but that just wasn't working for me. Now by going to bed around 7 I can get around 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep before you wake. You get up around 12-1 and 3-4 then 6. But the past week or so you are ready to rock at 4. Again, another thing that needs to be worked on. The past two days I nursed you at 4 and only moved you from the cradle to my bed so you weren't really woken up and ended up sleeping until around 8. That extra sleep helped both of us!

oh, I almost forgot you had real tears today (thursday)! Break my heart why dont ya?! I guess nap time is a very sad thing :)

You weigh 12 pounds 8 ounces and are 24 1/2 inches long!
