6 more days....

So, only 6 more days until I have to go back to work. I am completely excited and completely devastated at the same time...mostly I'm afraid Jason will completely screw up, but I'm sure Oliver will be alive when I get home...lol...

Hip Ultrasound

Oliver had hip ultrasounds done on Monday because he was a breech baby. It was just to make sure his hips formed properly due to his position....so after waiting 45 minutes at Sparrow...which is a miracle but still completely annoying...everything checked out just fine! So now, we go back to the Pediatrician on January 12th for some immunizations and a growth check!

First Christmas

Odie's first Christmas was definitely an eventful one!

First he went to Allendale to Uncle Greg and Aunt Ashlee's new house. He had a wonderful time opening presents and playing with his cousins Alexis and Beckham. Aunt Sara and I are convinced they will be BFFL (Best Friends For Life) except Great Aunt Tracy says boys don't do that...

Then Odie went to Grandma and Grandpa Feazel's house for his very first Christmas Eve...He got some great presents, including his first MSU robe, but spent most of the night snoozing...


Then Finally...Oliver went over to Grandma and Grandpa Garrett's house for Christmas Day! He got wonderful presents and was able to spend some time with his Aunt Saundra and Uncle Adam...not to mention the Amazing Evan!! (Or as he has been called...Even...he he) We can't wait to see what trouble these two will get into next Christmas!!

6 week pictures from Portrait Innovations!

Smile!!

So, I can't get him to do it for the camera...but I got a little smile with my cell phone :)

1 Month Check-up!

So...more like 6 weeks...but anyways...

He weighs 9lbs, 13.5oz and is 21.25 in tall! He sure doesn't feel 2 pounds heavier than last time, but I guess as he grows ounce by ounce I get used to it!

With all his gas and spit-up, the pediatrician recommended that we put rice cereal in his formula to help keep it down. She suspects that Oliver has some reflux.

Other than that, everything went well...no immunizations today...but next time he will have 3 shots...so bring on the Tylenol!!

Also, I can't wait for Oliver's pictures on Monday...I doubt I will get a smile out of him, but I hope he's at least awake and happy!! Who knows...we might not get a single good picture...he he.

The switch to soy...

So, Oliver has been in so much pain from all the gas and such, we decided to try a different formula. Today has been our first day on Isomil Soy formula. It's lactose-free and is supposed to be digested easier.

So far, so good...he's waiting almost an extra hour to eat each time and the gas has already been cut down drastically. He's been sleeping without waking up in pain all the time...so let's hope this is it! I kept feeling so bad for the little guy!

Yesterday he went on his first antiquing trip with Mom and me. He slept most of the day in the Baby Bjorn in a little reindeer suit...I should have taken a picture...I will have to next time!!

Speaking of pictures...he has his first professional shoot next Monday, the 15th...I can't wait!!

1 Month Already!!

So, in about 9 hours, Oliver will be 1 month old!! His 1 month appointment isn't until the 12th, so I don't have any new stats to share, even though I think he's gaining weight by the ton :)

I took a few pictures of him...
