2 months

 Oh hi, welcome back :)

We have been trying to stay above water here. 

Jack developed quite the case of reflux which made meal times and in between really fussy and uncomfortable for him. After a trip to the doctor's office, we tried Zantac, but that didn't seem to make any diffierence, and instead, we noticed things were getting worse and it was getting harder and harder to get ANYTHING in him. We considered  2oz in 40 minutes a HUGE success. 

So we recently switched to Prilosec and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

He's calming down and handling eating much better. Now we'd love it if he could tolerate larger feeds so we could go longer stretches of time between feeds. 

Steve has also been battling a cold, so we are doing our best to avoid each other. Jack and I live on one side of the house, Steve on the other. We don't want Jack getting sick!!!!

Here are the pictures I've managed to capture when we're not doing that whole eating and changing diapers stuff.

You can't tell in the picture, but the right side of the pack'n'play is at about a 30 degree angle. This is to help Jack with his reflux at night time. 

I'm thinking it doesn't help as much when he squirms his way down the ramp and ends up turned and flat at the bottom. 

 

Straining his head around to watch the ladies on The View. I had him facing the other direction and sneeky Jack just had to have things go his own way. 

We're working hard to keep those double chins growing!

He has officially reached 10 pounds though!

My sister brought her kiddos over to play one day. Grammy stopped by too and got a picture with both Grandsons.

Enjoying more tummy time on Mommy. His activities aren't varied much.

 

 Tried to get a cute 2 month picture. Instead we ended up with the many faces of Jack.

See, the reflux has influenced every area of life.

Jack got to go to his first birthday party too! His cousin Hannah turned TWO!

She had a Minnie Mouse party and Jack mostly showed off his stellar sleeping through anything abilities pretty much the whole time we were at the party.
