Dear Landen,
You’re two months old today! And guess what? You didn’t have to go to the hospital once this past month. Yay!! You have been to the doctor though. As the month went on we noticed that you were getting more and more uncomfortable during the day. You had lots of gas and just weren’t a very happy camper. We tried all sorts of remedies but nothing really helped. I finally called the doctor’s office and one of the nurses suggested we switch you to a different formula. You’re now drinking Enfamil Gentlease and you are much much much more comfortable!! This formula has a lot less lactose in it so it’s gentle on your tummy. A week after switching your formula you were still having some pain while drinking your bottles so we went in to the doctor. I suspected you may have silent reflux and I was right! You’re now taking liquid Zantac twice a day and it’s definitely helping. Between the formula change and the Zantac, you’re a whole new baby!
You’re starting to be more attentive to what is around you. You are more alert during the day but you still sleep A LOT. You are growing like a weed - 12 lbs. 14 oz. at your 2 month well-child visit. We already had to switch you to size 2 diapers! We also found out that you are 23.5 in. long and your head is 39 ½ cm in diameter. Dr. Widelitz said that we may need to start solids closer to 4 months old than 6 months old since you are so big. You may need the extra calories. The nurse noticed the little bumps you have on your skin and said you have eczema. We’ve been putting lotion on you more often and it’s clearing up. At your doctor’s appointment you got your 2 month vaccinations – 1 oral and 3 injections. You took them like a trooper!! The nurse was really fast. You started crying just when she finished. She scooped you up and threw you in your Daddy’s arms. You quieted down right away. We were so proud of you! We gave you some Tylenol when you got home. You went right to sleep and seemed fine. You didn’t show any side effects from your shots. We’re super happy about that because we don’t want you getting sick. Now that you are getting bigger and you have started vaccinations we’ll start venturing out of the house with you a little. We’re still very nervous about you getting sick but we are going to be very careful and not overdo it. Mommy and Daddy are really excited about getting to start showing you around.
We love you Little One!
