Connor and his buddy Isaac as Woody and Buzz.

At Jacob’s 2 month checkup, he was 21.5″ long and 10lbs 10oz…the doctor says he is doing great and hasn’t even begun to level out on his growth chart yet.

I am not sure why my videos don’t have sound…but will figure it out when I have a chance. For now, enjoy Jacob and Connor silently.

Love,
Donnie

We took Jacob to the doctor on Friday because he has been having crying spells more frequently and for longer periods of time (1.5 to 2.5 hrs).  We thought it was colic but the doctor thinks it is acid reflux.  He prescribed some medication like Zantac and we started Jacob on that Friday night.  Friday night was probably the best night for sleeping we ALL have had in 4 weeks.  Jacob slept from 8:30pm until 2am then from 3am until 7:30am.  No crying spells in between.

We have found it is best to keep him upright as much as possible and he is currently sleeping in his car seat.  He stays in his car seat or swing during the day (when we are not holding him).  Slower feedings and not “forcing” him to finish a bottle is also helping.

Here are a couple of videos of a much happier baby Jacob!

Saturday was one of those days you “dream” about as a parent.

9:45am — off to Isaac’s soccer game (Connor can play in the Spring)

11:15am — off to McDonald’s for a quick bite to eat

12:15pm — off to Pumpkinville in Toano with Connor’s friends

2pm — off to Uncle Danny’s house in Richmond for his Fall cookout

6:30pm — heading back to Newport News

9pm — bedtime

Take a look at the pics to see how enjoyable Saturday was!

Here are some pics from Brenna’s birthday party today…she turned 3!
