Baby Update!

Had the little man's 2 month appointment today. He's up to 12 pounds and 25 inches!!! 97th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. So, tall and skinny. Not really surprising. ;-) He also had his first round of immunization shots. :-( He didn't do too bad. Cried for a little bit, but then it was just sort of over and done. He has been pretty fussy for the rest of the day. But so far, so good.

We were also given the OK to go ahead and start weaning. He's been taking a bottle for a couple weeks now, so I'm not too worried about it. Just hoping he's not too fussy about formula. Cos that crap is EXPENSIVE. Oy.

WTG, little guy! Griffin LOVED formula. He was so much happier on it. I think my milk was substandard (little tyke didn't gain weight for 2 weeks). He was fussy all the time because he was starving. We used the Heinz one, and never had any of the issues people freak out about, like poor immunity (he was never ill once while on it) or ear infections. The only problem we had was constipation, so watch out for that. I'm sure you'll find one he likes. I see you've got a few different samples, which is good.

I'm hoping he got my super immune system and we won't have to worry about him getting sick too much. Not looking forward to the super poop, though. Ugh...

Wait until he gets onto solids. PHEEEWWWW! *g* Griffin got a bit constipated from his formula, but from memory the poop wasn't too horrid when it did come out :o)

The poop can't be much worse than it is right now! LOL He's not going every day (which the doc said was fine). But when he does, it's A LOT and boy is it STINKY! I gagged the other day when we changed his diaper. *shudder*

Griffin used to go every diaper change and then just stopped. He didn't poop for a week, then had a gigantic orange up-the-back blowout while we were visiting one of my old school friends. He was wearing white, too. We had to stick him in a bucket of water. Ahh, the joys of babies. :o)

Ah, yes. The blowout. Or, as my husband is fond of calling it, the poonami! LOL We've had to cut him out of one onsie already because of that. Blech.

OMG, really? You had to cut him out? LOLOLOL. Babies are amazing with the amount of poo they produce. We used to call it The Apoocalypse :o)
