Mr. Serious: Four Months Old!

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

The baby is already four months old! He was sleeping through the night for two weeks, but abandoned that practice a month ago. I want to think there's something I could do differently to help; but I'm at a loss. He is sleeping in Sweet Pea's room where he cannot smell me. He's taking Xantac for reflux. We do a long nursing and a diaper change right before bed and try to keep him awake and engaged during the day. The last trick up my sleeve is giving him formula. He has refused the size 4 nipple; so we need to dig out the size 2. I'm hoping this makes a difference.
 
 
He is deep into PT for torticollis and has improved his range of motion. Nevertheless, he will likely continue for 2-12 more months so he learns to crawl and walk symmetrically. He may be getting the helmet too because: 2017. It's the enlightened thing to do.
 
 
He is just so loved by everyone in this home!
 
 
His current stats are:
Height: 25", 39th%
Weight:13.5lbs., 11th%
Head Circumference: 17", 88th%

Getting the Message: Teeth-Brushing

Wednesday, February 8, 2017

*A few nights ago, this one came into our room at 3am to ask DH to brush his teeth, which DH did. Then he went back to sleep.

*Yesterday I brushed his teeth after breakfast. He decided to take a snack bite before pre-K drop-off. (Literally, ONE bite.) Then, he wouldn't get into the car until I promised him he wouldn't get a cavity from not brushing his teeth after that one bite.

*At pre-K pick-up, he explained wide-eyed to the school director, "We have to brush our teeth so that sugar bugs don't eat holes in them!" He has been warning everyone about this issue.
