Just a quickie post....
Ho'ea slept almost through the night last night! he only got up once to eat! That is amazing! He had reduced his nightly wakings to about 2x a night, but last night was only once. I'm not sure if this will continue and become a trend, but wow, that would be wonderful if it does!
My boys are fighting a cold. Their cousins were sick and b/c they are watched all together, they got sick as well. Luckily, it doesn't seem too bad. Ho'ea has been fighting the cold well, seeing as how it's his first. he just sounds congested, but it must be internal, because when I try to suction his nose out, nothing comes out.
Ho'ea is still a gassy grunter. I tried gripe water, and the 2x we tried to give it to him, he threw up both times. not sure if we're giving it to him at the wrong time (after eating, which I suspect is the culprit) or that his stomach is rejecting it. still, we have not found something that provides adequate relief for his gas. I'm hoping he'll just grow out of it.
Ho'ea is huge! He is just 1 month old and he's almost outgrown his 3 mo. old clothes and is fitting into some 6 month old clothes. He's also out grown his size 2 diapers and is ready for size 3. (We're just trying to use up the last of this size 2 pack that we have....)
Much much bigger than kaua, and kaua is on the higher end of the spectrum for height and weight. i'm wondering if the doctor will comment on Ho'ea's weight and size when we go back for his 2 month appointment? Ho'ea is only fed breastmilk, so surely he should be ok, right?
Ho'ea is starting to smile more. Still not quite on command, but more. I'm trying to determine if he has a dimple. My mom, brother and one of my brother's children all have dimples. DH and I do not....Kaua does not....but hoping that Ho'ea does. if we can capture one of his rare smiles on camera, I'll post it here and you can be the judge.
