Nothing Smells as Good as Fresh, Clean Baby

Baby GERD

Since last friday Sean has been spitting up quite a bit. Looks like we've got a little (well, actually a lot) reflux (baby GERD). I'm trying to feed him smaller meals more frequently and keep him propped up to minimize the messes. I am loathe to take him anywhere now because he spits up all over himself, me , the carseat, the floor in Macy's, etc.

Our pediatrician said that medications can be used if he seems uncomfortable. But the medications only decrease the acid in his stomach which is not the reason he spits up (immature sphincter between his esophagus and stomach). He does cry sometimes but mostly he smiles and laughs after he has spit up. Has anyone had this experience before and if you tried medications, did they work for your baby?

He Has Daddy's Eyelashes

Such long lashes! You know the joke - they don't belong to a girl, but they will someday. ;)

It's Too Early to Be Awake on a Saturday

This was after Sean's 6am feeding. Aren't my boys the cutest?

Back to the Crib Campaign

Well, last night was the first night that we started to put Sean to sleep in his crib. Yes, he's been sleeping with us this whole time. (gasp!) It went better than expected, but we still have a few more nights to make this a habit.

Two Month Check-up

Sean had his two-month check-up today. He's in the 50th percentile for height and weight at 22.75 inches and 11 pounds 10.6 ounces. Of course the highlight of the doctor's visit was the vaccinations.



He calmed down quickly afterwards and is still friends with the nurse.

Our Sunday Morning

Matthew thought the second video was especially funny.
