10 lbs. 13 oz. of Sweetness

I intended to post just after Tanner's 2 month well visit which was two Fridays ago but all the spare time that I had before Tanner arrived has some how disappeared!! He's now moved from the 25th to the 30th percentile with a weight of 10 lbs. 13 oz. and length of 22 1/8".

Tanner unfortunately spits up quite frequently but the worst part is the pain he seems to be in just after feeding. These symptoms are typically diagnosed as acid reflux. Tanner's pediatrician decided to put him on the reflux medication Axid back before Christmas. Since this prescription didn't seem to be working, the doctor changed him to Prevacid, another reflux medication, at his check-up in hopes that he would react better to the medicine. He does seem to be a little less fussy, but I was thinking the medicine would completely do away with the symptoms...guess it was just wishful thinking!!

Each day he continues to make new cooing sounds. He has most recently learned to make gurgling type sounds which he is extremely fascinated with. Justin and I constantly find ourselves communicating in baby talk because it almost always draws a smile to Tanner's face.

Last weekend we purchased a Bumbo seat for Tanner since he has such good head control.



Today we decided to put him in the Bumbo seat to see how he handled it. He did really well, and we have pictures to prove it!!

Below are just a few pics that we've taken recently.
