Stat Update

So, we weighed Spencer again yesterday. He's a whopping 12 lbs. Yup, 12. He's almost doubled his birthweight! I swear I'm not feeding him too much. If it was up to this kid, he'd take double what I give him. 12 lbs means he could fit in size 2 diapers! Are you kidding me?! We just moved into size 1 2 weeks ago! He's basically a monster. What amazes me about this is that the 0-3 month clothes are supposed to fit kids 7-12 lbs. So...he's supposed to go into the 3-6 month size now?! I JUST had this kid!!

Yesterday he turned 7 weeks old!

Newborn sized pants fit him like shorts. Newborn sized onesies fit him like muscle tees. I guess I can pack those bad boys up.

In other news, his eye is all better. We've moved on to Zantac (from the Axid) and have only given him 2 doses, but I feel like there's been an improvement already. Last night he slept from 9:45-1:45, woke up, ate, and slept until 3:45. Then he woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep unless he was cuddling with Mommy. So we slept from 4ish-5:45 together. Yes, we started our day at 5:45. If you know Mommy, you are about as shocked as Daddy was to find Mommy and Spencer sitting on the couch hanging out when he woke up at 7 this morning. To be fair, Mommy and Spencer both took much-needed naps from 7ish to 10.

Up this weekend: Nana and Poppy are moving to town! They will be here on Tues. Grandma Cindy is watching Spencer tomorrow while Mommy and Daddy go to the Open. And Sunday's HUGE here - the Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl!

GO CARDS!

ROAR!!!

It's "cold" here in Phoenix, with a high today somewhere in the 60's. This is what happens when Mommy thinks it's cold, and she has a super cute outfit she wants me to wear:

He Rolled Over!!

Yes, he actually rolled over on his own. From belly to back. We were in the midst of tummy time, and the little dude rolled over! Of course, it probably was a fluke. And of course, he probably did not intentionally think "I want to be on my back rather than my tummy, so let me flip myself around." However, it was a milestone nevertheless!

Oh, and no. I do not have a video of it. The one time I wasn't taping tummy time. Bah! Sorry grandfolks!

Daddy Got Me Dressed Today

And this is what I look like:

Chillin' In the Bumpo

First up, Spencer giving a shout-out to all you blog-watchers out there. Next up, Spencer checking out his Bumpo chair. He's still a little wobbly in it, but he seems to like it, and how adorable is that little half-grin?:

His eye is looking MUCH better these days. He's still a little stuffy from the cold, but I think it's on it's way out. It's certainly not keeping him down!

As for the tummy issues...well...I just don't know what's going on with that. At times it seems like the medicine is working. At other times, I almost feel like he's worse than he was last week! Per the doc's instructions, I am giving it tomorrow and then giving him a call.

Super Bowl Bound

This blog's been updated to reflect the Arizona Cardinal's recent win over the Eagles, giving them their first ever berth in the Super Bowl!!

Also, as a shout out to Daddy who we just saw on TV at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL.

Reflux. Clogged Tear Duct. Cold.

Well, I would post pictures today, but Spencer has definitely looked better. He's currently suffering from a clogged tear duct (which he's had since day 1), that has been exacerbated by his cold (which he managed to catch from me/Daddy). So everytime he wakes up, his right eye is caked shut. Gross! He's also had some tummy issues for a while, and they seem only to be getting worse. Lastly, he had a stuffy, runny nose all weekend and a slight cough.

With all those things going on, I decided he better see the doc today. They got him in ASAP (yay docs!).

The Verdict: his gas is actually reflux, so we now have our 5 1/2 week old baby on antacid (I swear he's not 65). We have ointment for his eye to unclog the duct. Oh yeah, and that cold? Just let it run it's course.

Supposedly by Friday this kid will be like new. No gas, tummy problems and no gross eye boogers. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, how about this cute pic from back in the day:
