Appointments and other going-ons

Myles had his 8 week appointment today. He is getting big fast! He is in the 70th percentile for height at 23.5 inches, 80th percentile for weight at 12 pounds 5 ounces, and 90th percentile for head circumference. All of our boys have huge heads. He has GERD which causes him to gag/choke/stop breathing when he sleeps. It's real fun. Our doctor gave us a Zantac prescription which we will keep if he gets bad. If you remember, Izyk had reflux and we tried Zantac and we didn't like how that made him. So we are keeping a close eye on him and changing sleep positions to see if anything helps. He just started sleeping through the night and we have him in the crib which makes me a little nervous because I can't hear him as well through the monitor in case he might need to be adjusted when he has an episode. We are making it work. Myles smiles sssssooo much. He loves being talked to and getting kisses. He is such a happy little boy. Charley loves his littlest brother, Izyk still kind of ignores him for the most part. Every once in a while, he will stop and pat him on his head but then continue on his way. Izyk is becoming more talkative and his vocabulary is expanding. Charley has been testing us a lot lately but we are also working through that. :)

I returned to work last week....bbbboooooooo. It's so hard to leave my babies and to get used to a whole new routine. I'm not a big fan of pumping and having to do it again causes me anxiety. I'm slowly building our freezer supply but I'm hoping to get a decent supply so if there's any early self-weaning (ah-hem...IZYK!!!!!), we can still give him plenty of breastmilk.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Myles is ready for Easter!

Happy boy!

We have another belly sleeper!

I love it when he smiles.

We have started to potty train Izyk VERY slowly. He's interested in the potty. He always wants to sit on the toilet but we are trying to make that connection between GOING and GOING ON THE POTTY. We are in no hurry.

That tongue of his...

Izyk up from his nap...


We got a new microwave in the mail and it came with the huge bubble bubble wrap. We put it across the kitchen floor and the boys ran across over and over again. It was fun to watch them. :)
