In an effort to give Caleb INSTANT GRATIFICATION (lol), I was premixing milk and refrigerating them. Lately, Caleb has been having major issues with his stomach and would start eating, then start screaming and fussing as if in pain. So...putting two and two together, (even though I didn't think this was the cause cuz sometimes he'll eat the cold milk like nothing) we decided to try giving him room temp milk again...just mixing it as he wanted to eat. I was scared cuz we started it because he would throw a major fit when the milk didn't come quick enough...but last night we tried it out and it was wonderful...he ate calmly, peacefully, and more quickly than usual. No fits. Even today, with his shots and the fussiness from that, there was no fussiness with eating. His appetite seems to have slowed a bit compared to the past couple days (not eating as often) but that could be a side effect from the shots. I feel so bad that he was in pain cuz of our mistake...

Today's shots experience wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be...he screamed, but his fussing stopped as soon as I picked him up and he promptly passed out hard. He slept for a long time and had only one truly screaming, fussing, crying, holding breath spell...we thought he'd be like that the whole day. Right now he's in his bouncer, smiling, talking, chillin...no fever so far...we've given him the Tylenol twice and will give him another dose before bed time to hopefully keep it that way.

So cute...on his bouncer thing, if he hits the hanging animals, it will light up and play music for a little bit. We're trying to see if he's making the connection that if he hits it, it will respond. So far he's done it several times...could just be coincidence but I'll believe it's cuz he's a genius. Lol.

Two months - 13 lbs 13 oz and 24.5 inches. Average size for a three month old baby. I thought he'd be closer to 15 lbs! Doctor said he's very proportional, so that's good.
