The Geesaman's: 2 Months & Watch Me Grow

It's hard to believe that Caden is already 2 months old! He is growing up so fast. At the same time, though, its hard to remember what our life was like without him. He is occasionally sleeping through the night (from about 11 until 6 or 6:15). He did that twice last week. It is amazing to have that much uninterrupted sleep. Now if only I'd learn to go to bed when I put him down.

He had his 2 month appointment with the pediatrician last Thursday. It ended up being a few days earlier than originally planned because he was having some major spitting up issues. He was spitting up whole mouthfuls...sometimes I wondered if he was even retaining anything that he ate. He was also really fussy. Andy really noticed this when he was gone for a week and a half and came home. Anyways, he has a mild form of Reflux. He is now on Omeprazole (Prilosec) and it seems to be helping. It is a challenge to give it to him though. Unfortunately there is not an infant liquid available. So we have to open the capsule and split the beads inside of it. Then he gets half of the beads each day. To give them to him we have to crush them and then stick them on to his wet pacifier (Good idea Grandaddy!). He makes an awful face and sometimes gags. Hopefully after he starts on cereal in a few months we can mix it in there and the process will be a lot easier. The doctor is not overly concerned because he is still gaining weight. He now weighs 11 lbs. 10 oz. and is 23 inches long. His head measures 39 cm.

Pappy and Grammy got Caden a BIG teddy bear. We decided to start taking a picture with Caden each month to see how much he is growing. Below are the pictures taken at 1 month and 2 months. Can you see him growing?
