I am NOT so excited to report that our little boy has a tummy ache.
I have been plagued my whole life with a "delicate" system... my husband, not so much. I am so sad to see this same issue play out in our sweet child, especially when it seemed a genetic 50-50 chance of NOT having to deal with it!
He continues to be the sweetest possible child, smiling and hugging even when he doesn't feel well, but his periods of peace are much more interrupted by the discomfort he is obviously feeling. Our arms are his primary medicine right now, with unrestricted access to nursing as the other prescription we've given him. We're currently waiting to hear back from the pediatrician about what else we should be doing, if anything.
In slightly related news, at his 4 month well baby check up on August 11, he weighed TWELVE POUNDS, 9 OUNCES!!! and was TWENTY FIVE INCHES LONG!!! His head circumference was 41 cm... that's 15th percentile for weight, 50th percentile for length and 30th percentile for head size (Totally normal, Jess...)... that was a weight gain of TWO pounds, nearly all on Mommy's "home brew"... Growth is beautiful!
Also in growing up news, mommy started school, so Auggi has experienced his first shift away from mommy for a whole SIX hours. I think it was harder on mommy than on him, as his Nonni and Daddy were available to love him...
All that to say, enjoy this child... as if you could avoid it...
Nap time in Tio Bobby's old school kicks...
Those culprit black beans... but, MAN! did he love them!
Hanging out with Nonni on Mommy's first day of school... and not being such a big fan of sweet potatoes...
Rocking the tux before he completely outgrows it...
