So it's been a while since I posted last! Lots has been going on, and we are pushing on down the track. Vi has been enjoying her summer break, she went off to equestrian camp and had a really great time; and was surprised at how much she missed her brothers while she was gone!
The boys are sleeping through the night, and have been for a while now! Our new schedule has them eating at or around 7-8 and then 11-11:30, 3:30, 7:30 and then in bed around 8:30, 9. And yes, they sleep ALL night and you don't hear a peep. *of course, now that I have said it aloud, and written it down, I am DOOMED because I swear they are living only to prove me wrong at every turn!
We had our 4 month check ups, and Beef is 18.1lbs, Pook is 16.13 and Mr. H (now called Sonny) is 16. Sonny boy is the one to keep my eye on! He has started Rolling now and enjoys getting his feet up on his brothers' heads, spinning around and rolling over onto his tummy and getting angry because he can't get back. Pook;,is he such a gentle soul, who smells of canned cream of mushroom soup all the time. Why does formula smell oh so badly? The poor thing doesn't get as much attention as the others and people just don't want to hold him as much because there is a 98% chance that you will leave also smelling of cream of mushroom soup. I recently bought a can of soy formula to start self experimenting on him with various types to see if anything helps, it had seemed to be working well; noting a significant decrease in the spitting up, but then it all went horribly wrong! I made a fatal mistake in formula switching; and went WAY too fast. :( My poor baby got constipated and was in so much pain this morning. I was able to help him pass it by massaging his tummy and pressing his legs up to his abdomen. When he passed it, it was a doozie and made his poor bum bleed. I feel/felt so bad that I caused him this pain for my selfishness of not wanting to deal with the puke anymore. And this is what motherhood is all about. Joy and guilt. I will be going off the soy and back to the norm, puke or not.
At the check up, they found that Pooks head circumference had grown 4 cm from last check, so he is going for a scan of his head; this is to see if there is any hydrocephalus going on (fluid surrounding his brain). I don't feel overly concerned of this matter, due to his head shape, I think it could just be a miss-measurement; but would definitely be happier to be safe than sorry! That appointment is scheduled for the 26th of Aug. The same day T comes home.
and for Beef; he is HUGE, so huge in fact that at 4.5 months of age (3 months and 1 week corrected) he requires 6-9 or 9 months sized clothing! I call him my Great big beefy beautiful boy, and he really is. Such a flirt, he laughs and squeals and gurgles to get attention and of course it works every time!
So that about covers it, Will post again soon as I feel like I have lots to say today!
