Hoppy St. Patrick's Day!


We may have a little Irish in us....but if not, at least we look good in green :) Here's Camron in his Hoppy Frog bouncie seat.... in green! Perfect for St. Patrick's day!



It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day on the 17th, and we had an appointment at Hamot with the lactation nurse, to see how the breastfeeding was going, and then at the doctor's office for the one month check-up. The nurse was very excited and pleased that he was doing so well breastfeeding. Of course he did everything perfect since someone was watching ;) I was a little worried that he wasn't getting enough, but she weighed him before and after eating and he gained 2 ounces. She said that was good. Then off to the doctor's office. His one month weight is 8 pounds 8 ounces, and length is 21 inches. He's finally starting to outgrow most of his newborn clothes and getting into the 0-3 months size. My baby is getting so big!


He's been kind of fussy this week, but that I'm going to blame on gas. I ended up going to the drug store to get Mylicon (gas drops) and it seemed to help him a little. It may be from the formula.....since we're starting to integrate that in a little at a time. Or maybe he's just fussy because he wants his mommy to hold him. And I do! I've gotten over the tired, frustrated phase of being a new mommy and now I just enjoy every moment, crying or not. Pretty soon I won't have so much time with him during the day. And then he'll get big even faster.

It's so much fun watching him grow. Going back to work is very hard, but you will really appreciate the time you have with him even more.
You are an awesome mommy! Camron told me that :0)
