Evan One Month Old

Evan continues to grow each and every day.  He had his one month check-up on Friday.  Currently he is 9 lbs 4 oz which puts him at the 30th percentile for weight and he is at the 60th percentile for height.  We'll see if the height continues.  He has been very fussy the past few weeks whenever he is awake and spits up a lot after feedings.  We didn't realize there was a "problem" until recently when he is awake more often and not sleeping as much.  At his appointment I discussed this with the doctor and determined it is acid reflux.  This is a challenge with trying to calm him down and taking care of Kelsey at the same time.  Luckily, the doctor gave us a prescription which helps keep him less fussy, but doesn't help with the spit-up.  Thanks Grandma for all of the great burp cloths, we wash them often. :-)  

Enjoy the pictures of our little man from the past week.  His one month pictures were taken late because we never could get a picture of him awake and calm.  Things are better with the medicine but we'll see how it continues.  

 Over the weekend, April 12th and 13th, Whitey, Krista, and Madden came to visit along with Jamie and Justin to work on the basement and spend time with Evan and Kelsey.  Madden loved giving Evan pats.

 On April 9th our friends from church, Kelly and Josie (3 and 1/2) came to visit.  Notice how Josie is holding Evan and not Kelsey.  We'll see if one day we can get Kelsey to hold her own baby brother.

 On April 10th I took the kids down to visit my godmother Jari who had been in the hospital over back pain and hadn't had a chance to meet him yet.

 On April 8th Wendy came to stay with us on her way back to Florida.  It was great catching up and having someone else to hold our fussy baby.  This is why we love living near the airport, we get to see people. :-)
