Family Update

Weston- He will be one month old in just a few days! We took him to the doctor a few days ago after two evenings of hours and hours (seems like an eternity) of crying and not being able to really comfort him. I thought for sure he was sick, or had a cold or something. Turns out he was just fine and healthy, but has a little "colic" the doctor says. They think he has acid reflux so they gave us some medicine for it. Doesn't seem to be helping yet, hopefully soon. Poor little guy seems like he has gas though all the time and that it's painful :( I've already cut out all dairy, chocolate, and gassy, spicy foods, and any thing else I could think of that might hurt him, from my diet. I'd hate it if my milk were causing the problem. So I'll try some gas relief medicine too. It's a little frustrating, but he is doing well otherwise and cute as can be. We just love him so much. Oh yeah, and he was 8 lbs 8 oz at his doctors appointment, growing like a weed!

I went up to Logan for a few days. My parents are so awesome, they volunteered to wake up and feed him at night so I could get some sleep. Wonderful! I'm feeling a little sleep deprived even though I only wake up twice to feed him, I guess I have a really hard time functioning without my straight 8 hours :) I'm seriously such a wimp! He is completely worth it though and here are some recent pictures of Weston and of his stay at grandma Krogh's.

I love it when he goes cross-eyed.

He loves his little play gym.

This is the first time I put him on his tummy and he actually enjoyed it and didn't start freaking out.

Hanging out on grandma and grandpas couch.

He wore his cute moose pajamas the grandparents gave him for Christmas, they are my favorite.



I think he is starting look more like Kyle. What do you think?

What a cute little guy! My Kaden had colic as a baby and it is for sure a challenge. Hang in there. They do seem to grow out of it. My kids both loved when I held them and bounced on a big exercise ball. Something to try if you haven't already. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that he is colicy. Morgan's baby had it too and it just seems to be some thing that they have to out grow. AND definately he looks just like Kyle as a baby.

Yep, I think he looks like his daddy. I am already looking forward to seeing him again next weekend!
