Truman's Second Month

This week we had Truman's two month check up. He weighed in at 13 lb's and grew 2 inches to a height of 24 in, which put him in the 75th percentile in both categories.

Over this month his reflux has seemed to get a little better. At the beginning of the month he was really struggling between feedings because it was so bad. If we weren't holding/swaddling him he seemed to just want to cry. But we went in to see Dr. Garrett and she prescribed some medication for him (Zantac I believe it was). He did a little better when we gave him two dosages a day, but still wasn't showing significant signs of improvement, so we took him in again, she upped the dosage to three times a day and he has been doing a little better each day since.

After his feedings he is really starting to be fun. He laughs and smiles at you...it's enough to make your heart melt. It makes all the frustrating times worth it.

Here's some pictures of the little guy's growth progress from week to week over the second month.

Truman's Baby Blessing





We had the opportunity to give Truman his first blessing this past Sunday. My parents and sisters were able to come down from Idaho and Utah to spend some time with us and meet baby Truman.

While they were here we decided to show them a real good time, so we went to the Arizona Botanical Garden and go to the butterfly exhibit. It was awesome; they imported all these different varieties of butterfly's and a couple different types of moths from Florida. It was pretty fun to have them land on you and to be able to get up close and personal with them.

It was a really enjoyable weekend and we were so happy to have been able to spend it with family.
