Reflux

Mommy and Daddy have really been struggling for the past month trying to figure out why I don't have a very sunny dispostion. I kept telling Mommy that my belly hurt but I guess she does not understand baby language. She asked all sorts of experts what could be going on but they kept telling her I was just a cranky kid who wanted more stimulation but that I'd grow up to be extremely bright. While Mommy and Daddy thought this was awesome news they still thought something had to be going on, and boy am I glad they didn't stop the investigation.

Today at the doctors office he told us that I have a case of reflux, it is pretty common in babies and most of us go through small bouts of it. I don't projectile vomit like some kids do so I guess my case isn't too severe. The doctor prescribed me some Prevacid, it is a cherry flavored tablet so it tastes pretty good. I also get to have some rice ceral in my bottles to keep the good stuff down.

As I am writing this I've had my first dose of the Prevacid and feeling so much better; Mommy is relieved and feels like our outlook on life has greatly improved.

Papa Boogs and I love this video, we had to show it off to his niece since they have a new baby. I know they were jealous of all the attention you get, but we think you are worth it.
Love - G
