She weighs 9 lbs 8 oz which is in the 75th percentile! And is 21 1/2 inches long, 50th percentile. The doctor thinks she may have some reflux, even though she never spits up, she is probably swallowing it before it comes up. Apparently, its pretty common. So we are giving her zantac now, I hope it helps! She also has something called thrush. Which is a yeast infection in her mouth. . .ewww. We thought she just had milk residue on her tongue from that icky soy formula, who knew!? So we are on two different meds at the moment. I hope they help her start to feel more comfortable so she can start eating and sleeping better. She did have a couple of good nights this past week, but for the most part she is still waking up every three hours. I go back to work in a couple of weeks so I am really hoping she can get on a more predictable sleeping schedule before then! This girl is just not taking to the PDF (babywise) method! Stratton took right too it and was so predictable. . . not Arden! She just does her own thing! I fear this is a sign of things to come!
Stratton is doing so much better! We actually had a week without any major meltdowns! We have also started a new weekly "chore chart" project with him. I will have to put a picture of him and his chart up later. It really seems to be helping.
Tuesday, Arden and I ventured out to the mall. She did so good. We picked Stratton up at school a little early and then went home and played outside. The weather has been so nice, almost summery!
I had a dr appointment with my doctor in Little Rock on Wednesday. I got a good report and can go back to my regular activities. It ended up being a quick trip since they were so vusy and we were there for over 2 hours! We did sqeeze in a trip to Copelands for an early dinner and cheesecake! Arden did really good. She seems to be a good traveler and doesn't seem to mind being in the carseat. . .well as long as its moving!
Last weekend we went to Searcy for Margie's birthday. We had a family dinner Saturday night and then Jennifer brought Archer over again on Sunday. The boys really play well together! They are so funny. I didn't take any pictures but here is one that Margie got of the three grands on Sunday morning.
