He is such a happy baby, except in these pictures he had just woke up and all he wanted to do was watch TV. I could barely get him to look at me. It must be that he loves his Baby Einstein Mozart and watches it every morning when he wakes up while I get dressed.
We are still breastfeeding which I had to start taking medicine to keep up with the little guys demands. Motillum is not used in the USA but helps with lactation as an off label use over here, seems to work well so far. We have been topping up with some formula (Similac Immunity) to keep his belly full, but he still prefers the real deal.
We will start some rice cereal in 3 weeks time, hopefully that will help to keep his food down better. As of now with the reflux he throws up twice every feed and then spits up for a bout 2-3 hours after. And that was on medicine, we thought it wasn't working so we took him off but quickly realized in a days time that the throwing up was MUCH less with the medicine. He takes Losec (Omperzole) twice a day for the reflux. I can't wait to start solids and keep more food down!
We also got our 4 month vaccines at the doctor, took them like a champ. We quickly found that his hands are a comfort and he sucks on his fingers all the time, well at least when he isn't talking. He started sucking his thumb as he was getting his vaccines. Made me want to cry to see that, Dirk was the brave one and held him.
The boy is a chatter box too. He won't stop talking, giggling, babbling. I am a little confused to where he got this from? Aunt Lela maybe?
We did start Gymboree class for infants 0-6 months. Dylan is still ok with it and does well with everything but tummy time while looking at the other babies. He is ok when we do it at home, but he screams when he does it there. It is a terrified scream. He doesn't make that scream very often and I only know this because if I sneeze while feeding him the same scream comes out. It is kind of funny when that happens because I can't really control my sneezes but he gets really upset when it happens.
