DF got his last booster shot for kindergarten and was very brave- didn't shed a tear!
Nora was happy and proud to tell Dr. Slay she got her tonsils out. He was very impressed by how well she was healing and mostly how happy her spirits were. Said there was still a small amount of scabbing that will fall off this week. He said many are still complaining of pain at this point but Nora hasn't in 5 days!
She is 34 lbs and 38 inches tall. She was in the 70th percentile on both height and weight. Said her growth and development are great! She had to play catch up on her immunizations since she's been sick so much and couldn't get them at "well child" check ups. She even had one from her 18 month mark she was late on so poor thing had 4 shots today. It was awful and Franklin and the nurse had to restrain her. Franklin had a bite mark on his arm from her but it's all over and she's caught up- whew! I gave her Motrin before we went to prepare for it.
Isaac is 26 inches long and 20lbs and 3 oz. His head circumference is 17". He is still on the charts, but barely.
97% in weight....Dr. Slay said so out of 100 babies, only 3 would be bigger. He also said that they would be formula fed. Isaac is exclusively breast fed. Although I bought some formula just in case and he said it's time to start with the rice cereal.
What Ikey's up to:
He's in size 4 diapers, has found his feet and is starting to grab for toys, he can roll over from his back to his tummy but not the other way. He gets quite mad on his tummy. He smiles and laughs easily, he isn't swaddled anymore and seems to have begun teething. Nothing has come through but he has lots of drool, hands in his mouth and his sleeping has been horrible this week- worse week of sleep for him. He's been up about 5 times a night, about every 1-2 hours crying. I don't think he's hungry so Slay suggested Tylenol before bed to ease the pain. We will be praying that helps! He isn't on a schedule as much as the others were and I would like for him to be on more of one but it would be very difficult for our family if he was to scheduled right now. For instance, he still falls asleep after almost every feeding. He takes 3-4 naps each day. Some times they are little cat naps in the early morning or evening with longer naps at the regular morning and afternoon nap times. This is something I have trouble regulating since these cat naps often occur in the car. Yesterday I needed to go pick up DF and Nora so his crib nap was interrupted but he fell back asleep in the car. He's very adaptable that way and he needs to be or we couldn't live our lives and would be trapped at home. His feedings are every 3-4 hours though and pretty regulated so that helps. I wish his naps were more scheduled and will be happy when that happens but it's likely to not be until the end of the summer when school starts.
Other than this trouble at night, he's the perfect baby. He's starting to coo too. He likes his Paci, but doesn't love it or need it like he used to. He can easily fall asleep without it when we are out and about but likes it in his bed. Slay said he is a Paci fan so we will keep it around.
We are blessed with a good report on all of our children. We thank God for good health!!
David franklin asked me to take this picture. He said look mommy, he's hugging me back!! Take a picture, so I did :)
After naps I called out for Nora and she said I'm right here...I said where and followed her voice. She said "in here, Isaac was crying so I came in here to check in him." Boy oh boy do they love their" baby bubbie".
