Ok -Lawson FINALLY did #2 ...

Ok -Lawson FINALLY did #2 in the potty. I would call the first time more of a "catching him in the act and throwing him on the potty" type deal. This time he actually came to me and said, "Mommy, I need to go poop." This usually means that it has already happened but much to my surprise - it hadn't so we RAAAAAAAAAAAAN to the potty. Well, as soon as we got there he got a fearful look on his face and said he didn't need to go. So I casually sat him there and we started to chat. 25 minutes later and 20+ pages into the Better Homes & Gardens - - Taaaadaaahhhh! Wooooooooooowhoooooooooo - I have never been so happy to simply flush instead of change a dirty pullup.

Now let's just pray that this is the start of a good thing!!

Amelia had her 4 month ...

Amelia had her 4 month checkup today. She is a HEALTHY girl. She weighed in at a whooping 17 lbs! She is in the 95% for her height (25.5 inches). I don't think she'll be needing to borrow any of her brother's growth hormones:).
Amelia wasn't to happy about the 4 shots that she received but she calmed down soon after they were given. The doctor seemed very pleased with her growth and development. The only thing that we changed was her formula. She suggested getting off of the Nestle Good Start b/c the cheap proteins were making her gassy and fussy. We changed to Similac Advanced.

All-in-all, it was a great checkup.

Lawson has been on his ...

Lawson has been on his growth hormone shots for over a week now (start date - July 27). I wouldn't say that he likes them but he is tolerating them. It is a bit of a struggle to hold him down but it is quick. The device looks a lot like an ipod. The needle is hidden inside and only comes out when the device is pressed against the skin and the button is pushed. We hold it in place for 3 second (though it feels like an eternity) and it is over. Lawson does cry a little but not for long. We've tried to explain to him why he has to have it and his response was, "but it hurts me mommy." Talk about breaking my heart. I told him that he had to have it to grow big and strong. And his response was, "Like Jesus?" I told him, "yes, like Jesus." Sweet baby boy! He has been such a trooper through his little 2.5 yrs of life. Back and forth to the dr. and lots of bloodwork drawn. I admire him more than he will ever known.
