“Extra, extra read all about it!
The stats are in for baby boy Declan Smith”
Weight: 16p 6oz (3p in one month!)
Height: 26 in
Putting him in the 75% in height, weight and head circumference, our little dude is perfectly proportioned. I didn’t need no stinkin doctor to tell me that ;)
He has a little eczema on his elbow and his cradle cap is getting worse, no need worry about either.
He is lactose and soy intolerant. We already knew that but, we finally got confirmation from the Doc.
He has reached all of his developmental milestones and was flirting with Dr Hahn. He was smiling and cooing at her until she checked his ears, that made him a little upset.
The only thing he isn’t doing is, well, much of anything when he is on his belly. He made a liar out of mommy by hanging out quite contently on his belly while the Doc checked him out. He is holding his head well but she wants him to be able to roll over so I need to put him on his tummy more. I am now committed to a few tummy times through out the day to help move that one along.
He is reaching out grabbing things and shoving everything into his curious little mouth. Oh, the horror, I do not look forward to the things my little boy is going to taste.
As for his reflux, he has good days and bad days. Today was a bad one, every time he ate he would spit up large quantities until he needed more food to replace what he had lost. Eating small amounts and sitting up a lot has helped, being able to easily distract him has made this possible. Not so sure how much the Zantac is helping though. The doctor said reflux usually goes away between 4 & 6 months, I can’t wait!
We are still waiting until 6 months to start immunizations. I, on the other hand, am going to get the flu shot to help keep him well this winter :)
