finally pooping every day!!!
well, we have had quite a hard time with Ayden and his bowel movements. When he was on breast milk almost every diaper was dirty but when we moved to formula he became a 5-6 day pooper…meaning that it was only every 5-6 days he would poop and he would not go on his own. I had to give him glycerine suppossitories or use a trick a doc taught me with a q-tip and some ky jelly…You hate to assist as babies will become dependent on this and will only go when they are helped but you can’t let him go too long without pooping…so in the last week and a bit we have introduced oat cereal into his diet and as you read below yesterday we started on carrots. Well the solid foods are definately helping his system. After we gave him the carrots last night,...
First time eating cereal!!!
Well last night August 4th was Ayden’s first time eating cereal. We bought some Nestle Oat cereal (as we heard that the rice cereal is a bunger) and thought that we would give it a go. Now Ayden is only 5 months and 10 days (11 today) past his due date, but he was giving us big cues that he was ready for some food. He was watching mark and I like a hawk when we were eating, following the fork from plate to mouth. So we consulted Aunt Tory last night on some specifics to the feeding and away we went. We gave Ayden his normal night time bottle at 8 o’clock and the finished with a few teeny tiny spoon fulls of cereal. He loved it!!! As soon as I put the spoon to his mouth he knew what to do. He spit up only once, but seemed to really enjoy it. So now...
a few good and crazy days
Well little one, you have had quite a crazy few up and down days. Friday night (July 24th, 2009) was a really really hard nite. You and I had a good day, but around 4pm for some reason you started to cry….and this was not a whiny cry, this was a full out scream cry where you are in some sort of pain but mommy can’t figure out whats wrong. To top it all off, daddy was working late and did not get home until after 8pm. Mommy managed to give you a bath all by herself and I tried my best to calm you down but nothing worked. I rocked you, I bounced you, I swaddled you, I hugged you, I put you on the floor, I put you in your swing…I did everything I could think of to make you comfortable, but none of it worked. finally when daddy came home, he managed...
Photography Day!
For some time I’ve had people asking me “Hey when are you gonna take some artsy shots of your son?” so we had some time today and I took some shots. I’m not super happy with them, so they’ll be another photoshoot at some point. But here are some of the highlights.
