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.

I Rolled Over!

This growing up stuff is getting easier. Today I rolled over from my tummy to my back. Mom missed the video the first time but got it the second time. As you can hear in the background she is quite a cheerleader. Oh, and Dad spiffed it up a bit too.

Happy 3-Month Birthday to Me!

This weekend we invited Quincy, and his Mommy and Daddy over for a BBQ. It was a nice sunny day and Daddy grilled up some yummy burgers. Quincy is getting so big; he's 6 months old now and is crawling. I'm so jealous - I can't wait until I'm mobile. Quincy enjoyed chasing Cisco and trying to tackle me. I think that kid is going to be a pro wrestler before he turns 2!

Today, according to Grammy, was grandparents day. We met up with Grammy and Grandpa in Edmonds to do some window shopping and talk about plans for our trip to Europe. I really liked a toy store that we went in but Mommy and Daddy said I wasn't quite big enough for the toys so I didn't buy anything, they promised we can go back there one day soon.

Tomorrow Mommy and I are starting a yoga class in Kirkland. She's really excited but I'm a bit skeptical. I mean what kind of yoga can a 3 months old do? I wiggle so much I can't even do a good shavasana!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend Pawpaw and Kathy came up to see me from Oregon. We had a BBQ at our house and went out to eat a lot. I tried to be good while we went out to eat, and even slept though breakfast on Labor Day.

They brought up some tax-free diapers from Oregon (not sure what this tax thing is, but oh well, Mommy and Daddy were happy).

Dad had off 4-straight days from work, so we got to spend a lot of time together as a family.

Back to school already?

This week has been really busy, for someone on maternity leave my Mommy sure has worked a lot! I think the district technology department has adopted me as their official mascot. I've got them in the palm of my hand as long as I keep these eyelashes.

On Wednesday Daddy got to experience his first day as a stay at home Daddy. He did a really good job but was beat by the time Mommy got home. We did guy stuff, like going to Home Depot and fixing my rocking chair.

Today I got my pals, Tom and Quincy, and their parents together for a baby's day at the movies. We saw House Bunny; I enjoyed the colors and the girls but didn't get the jokes. Afterwards we all sat around outside enjoying the nice weather while the Mommies and Daddies ate bagels and gabbed about us boys.

Mommy says that Tuesday is going to be her last day spent at school until January when she is actually paid to be there. I hope this is true but I don't believe her. We need to enjoy our time together because it is going to fly by.

Hope everyone has a happy Labor Day!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...

...so hopefully you'll forgive me for only posting photos this time.

I'm Watching You!

Another Bath!

Mommy and Daddy gave me another bath today (well Daddy took pictures and Mommy bathed me). I really like the warm water, and I really don't like getting out of the tub. Daddy got a good picture of me enjoying the bath, check me out!

Road Trippin'

Yesterday we went to visit the town of Leavenworth, WA. The Shermans had never been to the other side of the mountains so Mommy and Daddy thought it would be a nice trip to show them more of Washington.

We ate lunch at a German restaurant and then toured the town while we snacked on pretzels and other German fare. It was a really sunny day but a bit too hot for me. Blane and I slept all the way to Leavenworth and most of the way home.

Today the mommies and the boys went to the movies. We saw WALL-E, a neat movie about robots. I didn't like this movie as much as Mamma Mia! but it sure was fun to see a movie with my pal Blane and my Aunt Wendi. Our new friend from class, Grayson, even came to watch the show today.

Tomorrow the Shermans are heading back to Texas; I sure will be sad to see them go but boy is our house going to be quiet!
