I can't believe that two days ago our little boy turned 10 weeks old...it is so amazing how quickly the time flies. Yesterday, I had to take our rented breast pump back to the hospital (we finally broke down and bought one) and as we were leaving, we passed by a woman sitting in a wheelchair with her newborn ready to head home. Looking at that little one made me a little nostalgic because as someone pointed out recently, Caleb has lost his "newborn look." He is growing up so fast! In the past week, he has learned lots of new things- he is finally starting to lift his head all the way up and enjoy tummytime (although, he still only last about 5 minutes or so...), he has discovered his hands and feet and grabs onto them every chance he gets, and he has learned to hold and play with some of his toys! Currently, Caleb's favorite toy is his set of keys. He loves holding and shaking them as well as putting them in his mouth. In fact, Caleb puts EVERYTHING in his mouth lately. We actually asked the doctor if he could possibly be teething this early...she said maybe, but that this will most likely go on for months before we actually see any signs of him cutting teeth. Whoo, good thing! I'm am not looking forward to the day he decides to teethe on me while nursing!!! LOL!
Healthwise, Caleb's doing great! We have actually scaled back his reflux medicine to only taking it at night. Mainly, this is because for about a week now, our little smarty-pants has started spitting his entire morning dose back out while grinning at me. I tried to be stern and tell him this was "not ok" but it was so darn cute that most days, I couldn't help but crack a smile back. Anyways, I've finally given up since he seems to be doing just fine on the one dose- Chad says this is our son's first act of defiance toward Mommy, LOL! Per the doctor's strong recommendation, Caleb is back on Vitamin D drops...So far, so good. Rather than torture him with the stuff that he hated, I ordered some special drops online- Just one single tasteless drop= 100% daily dose. GREAT purchase!!
Well, I think that's about it for now! It's morning naptime and I'm finally beginning to master the art of getting things done around the house while little man sleeps. More updates soon!
Tummytime isn't so bad afterall!

Grabbing my footsies!
