Boston is 4 months old!


You might have guessed it and it's true...Boston is getting bigger every day! He found his feet for the first time on Monday and likes to pull on them and is trying to bring them to his mouth for a nibble! He loves to chew on everything (the doctor calls it "pre-teething") and big brother can get him to smile like no one else! Boston is still such a sweet boy...he's working hard at trying to roll over from tummy to back and he is doing a great job of holding his head up. After about a week of HORRIBLE sleep, I consulted with a sleep coach and his pediatrician. After hearing all of his symptoms (an ongoing runny nose, hiccups, fussy when nursing, problems sleeping for long periods, lots of spitting up, etc), they made the diagnosis of infant acid reflux. He started Axid on 10/21 and it seems to be making a big difference. He seems overall much happier and is only waking up 1-2 times per night as opposed to the 4+ times in recent weeks. He likes to laugh at us when we are changing his poopy diapers and he is very ticklish, especially on his feet! Boston has started to be interested in watching us when we eat, looking longinly at our mouths when we chew. I remember Benz doing this too and seemed so happy when he finally got to indulge in some baby food. Only a few more months, Boston! And he's now officially outgrown most of his tiny clothes:( I had to update his closet this weekend with 3-6 month outifits and size 2 shoes!
