I seriously cannot handle how fast my baby is growing...8 weeks?!! YIKES! Where did the time go? I have had the best time being on maternity leave and watching this little guy grow. The second month of Stafford's life brought lots of road trips and he did so good traveling! We went to Oxford for a few football games and to Dyersburg for a week. We had the best time! I was a little nervous making the 4 hour drive to D-burg but he did so well...slept the entire time! We went to our first Halloween party at CCJ and had a great time! Thanksgiving week marked my first week back to work. It wasn't too difficult but I do think that the short work week helped ease me back into it. I could easily get used to working 3 days a week instead of 5!
Stafford is doing great!! He is currently sleeping through the night (for the most part...11 pm - 7 am is through the night for me right now!!), eating every 4 hours and we have finally found a formula that doesn't make him spit-up constantly. We started out on Similac Advance then switched to Enfamil Gentlease. Neither one of these worked that great with controlling the spitting up issues. I had a few friends tell me that their kids couldn't handle the powder formulas and to try the ready-to-use formula instead. After 2 months of trying different formulas, we ended up with the ready-to-use Nutramigen and it works like a dream! The Nutramigen, coupled with the Prevacid has made a huge difference...FINALLY!!! Sweet boy weighs 8 pounds, 11 ounces and is 23 inches long. We go to the doctor, soon, for a round of shots which I am seriously dreading. Below are a few pictures from the past 4 weeks:
