Soy formula...

About a week ago we switched Aidan to soy formula due to reflux. He has what is called happy spitter reflux. Which means he spits up ALOT but is overall happy and is not losing weight. I mean he was spitting up around 20 times a day and I was doing lots of laundry. So we took him to see Dr. Farley. He said Aidan definitely is not having failure to thrive...lol yeah since he weighs 18lbs 9oz lol. So we are trying different formula and so far it seems to be helping. That and putting a wedge under his mattress to elevate him some. My only complaints are that the soy formula smells way worse than regular formula! And the soy constipates the poor boy. But we will keep at it and hope it continues to help.

Tomorrow is Aidan's 6 month birthday! He is getting so big. I will post a picture tomorrow.

New Pictures!












Here are the newest pictures that Kerri did a few weeks ago. They came out great as always. We went to a park in Gladstone and luckily the Oregon weather cooperated with us. Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!




So today was Anthony's first father's day and unfortunately he is sick. But Aidan I did make a couple of very cute gifts for him. First we put Aidan's hand print on a baseball for Anthony. It is first official autograph before he becomes a famous baseball player...lol. The other gift we did for him was I got big letters and I took pictures of Aidan holding the letters to spell out dad. I then put them in a three picture frame. Aidan did such nice smiles for the pictures they came out so cute. Above are the pictures that are in the frame. Last we did cards for Anthony and all of the grandpas and great grandpas with Aidan's foot and hand print in them for his signature.

Anthony loved all of the presents that we gave him. He had a good Father's Day.

Update!






I haven't been on here in awhile so it is time to update on everything Aidan has been doing. He is rolling over now for about a week. But he can only roll from back to tummy so eventually he gets made when he cannot get off of his tummy. lol. He is working on sitting up, he does pretty well with the boppy around him. He is eating his baby food like it is going out of style, he loves all fruit and peas and carrots so far.
We took our first trip to Redmond at the end of May and stayed for the weekend. It was Aidan's first big trip and staying in a hotel. He did really well on the 3 hour drive we only had to stop once for him. While we were there we took him in the pool and he did really well he let me float him on his back even. We were in Redmond with my sister and brother in law for truck pulls. Which if you don't know are loud big trucks seeing how far they can pull a sled. So Aidan had to wear headphones to block out the noise, which he did great with.
His sleep is still about the same he wakes up about once a night but that is okay. He is starting to do better with his naps, not really any longer but at least he will lay down in his crib now for them.
Sorry this was so long have not been on here in awhile. So I will leave you with some pictures from all the recent things Aidan has been doing.
