2nd Month

Well, it's official. Our little boy is starting to grow up! He's finally moved out of the "newborn" size diapers and into size 1, although we have to wrap them pretty tight to get them to stay on. They make size 1-2 where is the size N-1? Monday, the day before Eli turned 6 weeks old, he found a way to get out of tummy time. He rolled over from his tummy to his back! Now he only does it when we put his arms underneath him in push-up position but he did it like 5 times in a row on Monday, how big is he?! I have to be right there though because he'll knock his head when he flops to his back if I don't catch him :) And, last weekend we moved him out of our room and into his crib.

Our other development is that we decided to stop the reflux medicine. I've never been fully convinced he has reflux and on top of that we've come to the conclusion that the medicine is making Eli constipated. Even though it happened to only 5% it was the number 1 side effect listed for use in children. We found that in the fine print on the label after almost 2 weeks of wondering why he hasn't been pooping the same and coincidently 2 1/2 weeks of the medication... Only a mother would write about their kids poop! So hopefully that will help his tummy to feel better. Well, that's all for now. Maybe next time he takes a nap I can add some pictures.
