this week wasn't super ground breaking but still happy nonetheless. :)
*rolling a ton more! He's doing much better going from tummy to back. He learned that first and has known how for a long time, he just doesn't do it. Well he does now, at least a bit more.
*we finally tried rice cereal again and he seems much more ready! I still have to time it right (not full, not starving, not grumpy, not over tired) but yay!! While at the Drs (I'll get to that), I asked and got a little more info about solids! I have been itching to go find some baby food cookbooks!! Barnes and Noble didn't have much!!! But for now, he's getting rice cereal 2-3 times a day and its not replacing any meals.
*ok Dr appt. I emailed the Dr about his tongue and lip tie. She was on vacation. By the time she got back and responded, I had a new question about silent reflux. We set an appt to address both. She agrees there is a problem!! Finally!! Someone acknowledges that although he's gaining weight and is healthy, its from lots of hard work ans stress and its not normal!! She also agrees with his lip tie but wants us to try antacids medication first because its less invasive. After a few weeks, if no improvement, she's sending us to the ent. I was disappointed (although this is what I wanted just two days earlier, but I changed my mind haha) because I think its just treating a symptom, not the cause. But I figure we should try the less invasive just to cross it off the list. Besides, at this point, what's a few more weeks? It would be nice if this helped. But probably not... We will see.
*we took dean to the pumpkin patch! He liked it, but mostly just being outside and with daddy haha. KR worked reallllly hard to get off a little early yesterday. Normally a full load is two patients for one student. He had three!! So I'm grateful for how hard he worked! And he still did a good job and didn't rush it. It was worth it for the fun time we had and just time together as a family.
*Well this week really didn't have too many little milestones. Although I guess he did grab the side of the changing table this morning!! I hope he doesn't start trying to roll while changing him!!
*oh and this morning I had him in his cradle bed and he was being a little fussy but I was being lazy. It was 5am!! Poor KR, his alarm was going to go off soon. I hate waking up before the alarm but that close. Anyway, so I finally roll over to Dean and he was like arching and twisting!! He seriously could get out if he worked at it long enough!! So I got up ans bounced him to sleep and put him back in the crib (I always start him out there at bed time. The first time he wakes up, I give him his pacifier. The second time, which is usually like 5-10 min later, I try the pacifier one more time. If it happens one more time, I bring him in to his cradle because there is no way I'm doing that all night!! Haha.
Well if I think of something I missed, I will write it. In the meantime...
