-He weights 16 lb. 12.5 oz., 27 in. long. He is in the 3% for his weight, meaning out of 100 boys, 3 are smaller than him. I had to laugh. He was 4% when he was born, went for awhile to about 10-12% and now he's back down to 3%. He's healthy and gaining weight so there is nothing to worry about. I just thought it was funny- my boy is TINY!
- His allergies are flaring up so he's to get .5 tsp Zyrtec in the morning and .5 tsp Benadryl at night. He should start sleeping better and breathing better.
-His skin, mostly his legs, is getting bad once again with eczema. We need to lotion him up really good two or three times a day as well as an oil we got three months ago.
-Acid reflux is still as strong as ever. As long as he is given the medication correctly he is fine. He is given the Axid on an empty stomach, usually two hours after his last meal or when he first awakes in the morning. In exactly 30 minutes, he's given Eryped, and needs to eat a full meal immediately. The Axid is for heartburn. The Eryped is an antibiotic that upsets his stomach so it pushes the food through faster. The longer the food sits in his stomach the more likely it will come back up. Only 10% of infant acid reflux cases do not end at 9 months. Rarely in that 10% does it not go away at all. So hopefully and there is a big chance that this will be over it in 3 more months. But because he still gets sick when we're off on his meds, we are too keep going as we are and at his year check up, then we'll see about reducing his meds. It's not what we wanted to hear, but it could be worse.
Jamie is growing so fast. He just learned to crawl about two weeks ago. He's already pulling himself to his feet. Anything and everything is used to get to his feet. He can't quite get himself back down.
Jamie is growing fast. He has three teeth, two on bottom, one on top. He loves to pull himself onto his knees, maybe he'll just skip crawling. Then again, he can now get on all fours, but he just sits back down or flops his feet out and lies down. He can scoot himself around really good though. He loves to get himself caught under couches and beds. 
He'll be nine months next week and has his check up in two weeks. Hopefully his acid reflux will be gone (please, please, PLEASE) , or at least starting to ease. He is not spitting up nearly as much as he used to, but when we're in between medicines he makes a decent mess. The Doctors say at nine months, infant acid reflux is gone, unless of course that infant is Jamie and his case is clearly abnormal. We'll let you know. Hopefully it's starting to ease and can be gone by his birthday. YIPPEE!!!
Well, we are doing great. Loving every minute of Jason being home. I am fulling taking advantage of Father and Son time, I get to sneak away by myself for a few hours. But for the most part, we're just hanging out.
