Weight Check

Playing on the bed at Great-grandma's

Hey Oakley, what are you doing?

Jace went to the doctor last Thursday for his weight check and he gained a whole pound! So that puts him up to 14 lbs and 4 ozs. So pround that he gained weight, I was starting to get a little worried. Jace is spending the day with Daddy today, Kyle is usually off work on Monday's but his schedule has been a little strange for the past month or so, so finally we are back to normal. Great grandma Pat and Great-grandpa David are babysitting tomorrow. They are leaving this weekend for Florida for the month so they wanted to get in some much needed Jace time before they take off. They went to Mexico a few weeks ago and had Jace's pictures taped up on the bathroom mirror so they could see hime everyday! Too funny! I start my coding class tonite. I am dreading it but I know that it will be for the best in the long run. Jace has been doing well with eating cereal, he likes to help feed himself. He likes more to make a mess of himself and then laughs and thinks it is funny! He is changing by the second lately. We don't have to go back to the doctor until 6 months, for more dreaded shots! However I will be calling soon to see when we are to move on to fruits and veggie's. Take care and hurry up SPRING!!

Love,

The Howard's

4 Month Check-up

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated, lots of things going on. We went to the doctor last Thursday(2/5) for his 4 month check-up and shots! He weighed 13 lbs. 4ozs. and was 24 inches long. He dropped down to the 14 percentile for his weight, and the doctor seemed concerned about that. We are still having issues with his reflux. I was told that our next option would have to be surgery, to tighten the stomach muscles. However, I told the doctor that we would not be going straight to surgery without trying some sort of medicine. Needless to say we are now on Zantac! We have to go back on the 19th for a weight check to see if the Zantac is helping. We have also been instructed to start spoon feeding cereal. Jace has had rice cereal in his bottle since he was just a couple months old. So on Saturday we started with spoon feeding. It is going well. He is not really sure of what to think about it, but did good the first few times he was fed. The babysitter said she had a hard time yesterday getting him to eat it, I think he was just overly hungry and wanted to eat immediatly. And I tried to feed him some last night and he made the funniest face, like it was awful!
He has been very funny lately, talking up a storm! His newest thing is growling and grunting! He also likes to play on the floor with Daddy. Kyle gets him laughing so hard that he gets the hiccups!! I start my coding class on Monday, so wish me luck with that! My good friend Erin took it and said it was really hard! Well I better get back to work. I will update next week after his weight check to let everyone know how he is doing.

Take care,

Kendall
