Happy Dane

3 month photos

Well time is just flying by and we have not been so good about updating the blog. Dane is just constantly talking and chewing these days. Every time I go to take a video of him he is either chewing on his fist or talking up a storm. I am just amazed at how alert he is and how much you can interact with him now. I love being a mom so much. We also went through a whole church service without having to go to the hallway. He really loves worship but usually gets a little noisy once the pastor starts preaching.

3 month photos with my bear. Sorry I cant figure out how to turn them around :)



Beary cute but upside down :)


The last few weeks have been busy. Since there are so many new babies and stay at home moms now we have started a moms group and are meeting twice a month. It is nice to have some social time while playing with the babies. I hope to post some pics next time but this time I never got my camera out. We also had lunch with our friends Melissa and Finnley. I met Melissa in the breastfeeding group and it is so nice being able to compare baby stories and hear what is in the future for Dane, Finnley is about three weeks older. Here is a picture of her and her chubby cheeks. I love how the pacifier makes indention's :)
I have recently started volley ball again. It feels so good to do something physical. I really missed playing. We also finished our basement. We are so excited about being able to entertain down there. We bought new extra comfy furniture and a new tv and surround sound, Heck I hardly see my husband at all (joke). We also have a big kitchen table for playing games and a large area for the babies to play once they get mobile.

Tummy trouble and infant massage

Well we thought the zantac was working because he seemed to be spitting up less but the last few days have been really bad again. I talked to the doctor and she told me to go ahead and try soy formula. I am going to have to adopt him out if this works because no son of mine is lactose intolerant. I am totally kidding but seriously how? I love love love milk and dairy. If this doesn't work I am going to talk to her about pepcid because i have heard from several people and read on numerous blogs that zantac didn't work for them but pepcid did. Wish us luck.

Last night we attended an infant massage class and Dane really enjoyed it. They had us start by massaging their heads. I started massaging Danes head and all the sudden he just started giggling so loud. Everyone started cracking up and I just lost it. It was so adorable. I guess it must have tickled or he thought it was just ridiculous. I will have to try it tonight after his bath to see if it helps him to sleep better.

Just gets better and better

I tell you it really does get better and better the older they get. Dane and I have so much fun these days laughing and playing. Here is a video of him and his daddy having some fun at the changing table. For some reason Dane is happy almost all the time when he is on the changing table. I think it is extra cute that he giggles when you wipe his butt.

Dane laughing and talking

Daddy is so funny sometimes

Results are in and Doctor says....

The doctor called today and the results to Danes sonogram were completely normal. I am supposed to give the zantac a few more days to see if it is going to work before we try anything else.

Week full of doctors appointments

So Monday I took Dane to Childrens Mercy to meet with the urologist. His circumcision surgery is scheduled for June 15th. Tuesday I took him to the Pediatrician because he is constantly and I do mean constantly throwing up. My guess is that he has acid reflux. The doctor prescribed him some zantac and told me I could try Enfamil AR which has added rice and is for babies that spit up frequently. She also ordered him to have a sonogram to make sure he doesn't have some sort of tumor muscle thing in his stomach that is sometimes common in first born sons. She didn't think he does but she wants to be on the safe side. The appointment was made for Wednesday. So here we are back at Childrens Mercy. The worst part of the whole deal is that I had to make him fast for 4 hours before we went. This was so awful because he doesn't understand and he just cried and cried for like an hour because he was hungry. I just held him so he would know I loved him. When we got there they gave him a vanilla pacifier which helped. The sonogram went well and they should have the results to the doctor in a day or so. Dane was so wonderful during the whole visit. He is such a big boy. After the appointment we went and found a chair so he could chow down on a much needed lunch. Aunt Michele came down and kept us company and made him feel all better.

I wasn't too concerned about the test because I really thought it was acid reflux but neither the medicine or the formula seems to be working. He has spit up all night long. It is so bad he spits up at night too and rubs his head all in it until he wakes himself up. The positive about going to the doctor was I got to weigh him which we havent done for at least a month. Dane is now 15lbs. I am going to have to start looking for a new car seat because it only goes up to 22lbs.

Sorry if I worried everyone. Thank you for all the prayers.
