Yesterday, Kaden turned 2 months old! It’s really been two months already?! He’s been a little cranky lately and has been wanting to be held a lot! I decreased the amount of Rice Cereal we were putting in his bottles because it was so hard for him to get the formula out and we were constantly having to shake the bottle thru the feeding just to make it work. I think that may have affected the reflux…I started putting a full scoop back in today. We will just deal with the constant shaking. : ) I tried a faster nipple but he couldn’t keep up with what was coming out.
Perhaps the most exciting news of the month is that Olivia has FINALLY given up her binky! She took her binky's to the store and traded them in for a new Leap Frog Computer. She gave them to the lady and the lady promised that she would give them to the binky fairy for her so that she could pass them out to all of the other babies in the world. : ) Nap time when we got home went horrible! She screamed and sobbed and ravaged her room looking for binky’s for 2 hours before I finally gave up and let her get up and sit on the couch with me. Night time didn’t go so well that night either. She cried for quite awhile but it only took her about an hour to fall asleep. The second day was a bit better and by the third day, she stopped asking for it completely! She even brought me one that she found and she threw it in the garbage without one single complaint! I am so very proud of little Preschooler!! The sobs coming from her room were heart breaking and exhausting but I knew she could do it! She is becoming such a big little girl and she makes me laugh every day with the silly things she says!
On a sadder note, we took our Dog Gypsy in last month because her head seemed to be sinking in and we were very worried. Turns out, she has enlarged heart. Her heart should measure at a 9 and it measures at 13. She also has fluid on her lungs. I thought she was doing better since we put her on the meds, but lately she seems to dragging a lot again. Last night I tried to wake her up to get her off the couch and it took me forever just to get her to stir! We need to take her back before her meds run out and reassess. If she is doing worse, then we need to make the decision to put her down. :( I am not ready to have to explain this to Livie…It’s going to be hard. : (
