Ahh... how they grow fast. This is from the kids on Easter. Jacen was shoving as much candy as he could into his mouth before dinner. Somedays you just pick your battles with that kid, and that day was the only day he could eat candy before dinner. Plus I had gotten a bout of mastitis (again) that day and I wasn't about to start fighting over food.
Poor Andrew zonked out after dinner. He is so cute! We can't get enough of him.
Then these are his 4 month old pics. I couldn't decide which one was the cutest, so I put them all on here. He now weighs 16lbs 4oz, and measures 25 3/4 inches long. He's 80th percentile for both height and weight- he's trying to catch up with his brother! He smiles a lot (more than I remember Jacen smiling at this age), and he loves to hang out with everyone. He's started reaching for objects and tries to play with things. He rolls to his side but flat out refuses to be on his stomach because of his vomitting issues.
Speaking of which, he's still having issues with his projectile vomiting. He had switched from Zantac (which quit working) to Prevacid (which helped how "far" his vomitting went), but the pediatrician just wants to stop the meds altogether to see how he reacts without it. He stills arches and cries right before he's about to projectile, but we wonder if the meds are making him that way. He also mentioned that if we started giving him rice cereal, he would quit spitting up. So that's our plan for when we get back from vacation: stop the Prevacid and start the rice cereal. I hope it works because I'm tired of cleaning puke off the carpet!
Although he's got quite the gastrointestinal issues, overall he's a happy little man.
We sure love him to pieces :)
