Update on the meds

Well, N doesn't love the taste, but after having the pharmacist add some cherry flavor to them I'm able to get him to take most of the does. They do seem to be working, which is great! He didn't spit-up nearly as much yesterday and he seemed a little less fussy. Hopefully that keeps up!!

Here are a couple new pictures of him... (or just one, I can't get the other one to upload at the moment)

He likes to stick his tongue out all the time now

Back from N's weight check

Well, after only gaining a little over a pound in 2 months he gained half a pound in 2 weeks. Little stinker. lol
We're still going to try him on some reflux meds because he's been especially fussy and not sleeping well lately, so hopefully that will help tons!! The doctor said it could make him spit-up less, or it could just make him less fussy and still spitty, but I guess either way is better than what we have now.

Just for fun, he's a cute one of N from the other day.

Little Toes

N has found his little toes and loves to lay there and hold them anytime he doesn't have socks on his feet. I had this idea in my head of how I wanted a picture of him doing it (the ones where only his feet are in focus). I'm not sure how I like it, kind of artsy for me but I think it works... He was in a good mood, so I caught some great smiles too. :)

Some pictures

Just a couple pictures...

R dancing to HSM2, he loves that movie! lol


Just a cute one of M & N :)


N started grabbing toys this week...

4 month appointment

N had his 4 month appointment today. He's doing well other than the fact that he's not keeping up on the weight gain. He's 25" (60th percentile) and only 12lbs, 15ozs (15th). He had been in the 60th for length and 30th for weight at almost every appointment before, so the doctor is a bit concerned. I'm going to take him back in two weeks for a recheck and if he's still not gaining I think we're going to try meds for reflux. He spits up a ton, but so did M and R, so I didn't really think much of it.

Other than that he's meeting all his milestones and got 2 shots and one oral vax.

Here's his 4 month picture from yesterday. I've been taking one each month in the same spot (did the same thing with the other two also). I just really wish I would have picked a different place to take the monthly photo, I'm never happy with how they turn out in that chair. lol Oh well...

Earthquake

Let me just say that I hate earthquakes, and I've somehow managed to be out of town for every big one we've had here until yesterday's 6.5 quake.
Matthew was at the shop, and I was here with all 3 kids by myself. Luckily I had N with me in M's room, and R was playing in his room right next to hers. There are a lot of times during the day where the kids are a lot further away from me (like right now). I was able to grab all 3 of them very quickly and get us all under the kitchen table before it was over. It was shaking pretty hard, I'm not really sure how we all ran down the hallway without falling, but we did.
Amazingly only a few little things fell and nothing was broken in our house. We didn't even loose power. From what I've heard we did a lot better up here than Eureka! Matthew's shop was a wreck, stuff everywhere and cracks in the floors, and there are lots of buildings taped off that might be unsafe now.
So, that made for quite an exciting weekend! Matthew's at work now helping field all the calls they're getting and the kids and I just watched a movie.

N is 4 months old today, I got some cute pictures of him smiling that I'll try to get posted tomorrow after his appointment. :)

Thankful List

I'm totally stealing this idea from my friend Paige (who stole it from another friend). I started a list on the side of my blog that I'm going to try to update everyday with one thing I'm thankful for. Hoping it will help me to be more positive each day. :)

And because I haven't posted this cute picture yet, here's one of Mr. N grinning from the other day. :)

A new year...

Well, with the new year it seems to be the time to post resolutions on the old blog, so here are a few of mine:

Finish unpacking and moving into our house.

Put things on the walls in the kids' rooms.

Keep flat surfaces (ie: bookshelf, end table, and my DESK) free of clutter (this is going to be the hardest for me I think).

Continue to exercise more regularly.

Enjoy my family more and remember that the kids will grow up fast.

Hopefully those won't be too hard, like I said, the clutter thing is going to be my hardest, but I think I'm getting better at it already.

We didn't do anything for New Years Eve. I almost made it to midnight, but only because somebody decided he didn't want to sleep in his crib and Mommy was a much better bed.



I can here him talking in the other room now, he just woke up from his nap. We have his 4 month appointment in a week, I'll do an update on him then. :)

Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year!
