We’re Back!!!!

Well after a long break from updates, I’ve managed to get back to it and start writing some more – the good thing about writing after so long is that lots of things have happened.

There are some Firsts:

• First Laugh
• Moved out of the Bassinet
• Changed Food – On 100% Formula Now
• Started to Teethe

The big thing there was that mom can get him to laugh by making the noise ‘ah-gooo’ and tickling his tummy.

Ayden had some issues going poo – we studied things and came to the conclusions that he wasn’t constipated.. constipation is described as being dry and clumped. Ayden’s poo is wet and thick  like paste. Now the key was that it was dark – really dark green.. IRON. Iron does that… So we started by cutting out his Iron Supplement… Then the similac we were giving him was IRON fortified so we cut that back and low and behold he’s doing just fine.. pooping lots… the Similac formula he’s on now is half of what the Fortified version.

Ayden is doing great with his head and neck movements, every day he spends a few hours on the floor playing with toys and using his muscles, he’s lifting his head for longer and longer times now. He was just weighed tonight and he’s 12lbs,  12ounces. Ayden drools like crazy right now and has discovered his hands.. so in his mouth they go.. which leaves a large pool of drool around in most cases. Ayden spits up from time to time but it hasn’t been anything we feel alarmed with.

Other than the little guy as started to sleep longer (big yeah!!! hooo) he typically sleeps from 10 till 5 or 6am… well that’s it for now we’ll try and keep the updates more frequently.

cheers little dude.
