Six Weeks

Little man has had a rough two weeks! Not only does he have colic, but he is now battling with reflux:( I started noticing the signs right around 4 weeks and they just kept getting worse. It's been a battle with feedings and he was making so much noise while nursing that it was waking Chris up at night?! The worst part was when he would scream and start crying but try to eat again because he was starving. No parent wants to see their child suffer like that! Dr. Bishop put him on Prevacid and it seems to help. We still have at least one bad feeding a day where he struggles to eat, but the doctor said to give it two weeks before we try something else. Praying for relief!!

Onto better things, Caleb is smiling at us! Last night when Chris got home from work I was rubbing and blowing on his tummy and he just kept smiling at us with a big ol' grin on his face:) He also smiles a lot when he is sleeping or fading into sleep after he gets a good feeding. It is the sweetest thing to see! I'm still working on capturing one on the camera.

He is out of newborn diapers and into size 1. They are still a little big but the newborn diapers were way too tight! He is also pushing out of his newborn clothes. It makes me sad to know that he's not my tiny baby anymore but happy that he is healthy and growing:)

He is such a strong boy! We were at the Presswood's house for a pre-season Texans game (for the Daddy's) and he was practicing tummy time with Krista. He was kicking and moaning and grunting like he wanted to go somewhere so she put her hands by his feet for him to push against and sure enough he started scooting across the mat! Slow down buddy because I'm not ready for you to be crawling yet!! He can also hold his head up for a while. His favorite thing lately is when you put him over your shoulder like your burping him, he holds his arms out and picks his head up to look around at whatever is behind you. Cracks us up because he has the funniest look on his face:)

Our little monkey LOVES bath time! He just sits back, looks around and is perfectly content. I even caught him checking himself out in the mirror the other day...good heavens!!

I can't wait to see what the next two weeks have in store for us!!
