Joel update 2-17-09

He met his Great Aunt Anne this past Saturday (Valentines Day) we all went up to Maine in the van. She just loved Joel :o)

Joel now sleeps in his crib at night. We put him in it overnight for the 1st time on 2-10 and I put his bassinet in the attic last Friday (2-13-09). He has been doing 4 to 4.5 hr stretches at night between feeds...although last night he ate at 7/7:30 and awoke to eat at 1:30...holy 6 plus hour stretch batman, lol!

He was in an awesome mood today. He has been increasingly fussy since he turned one month old and fusses whenever we take him to Mom and Dads, Aunt Annes, friends houses etc...

When I took him to his 1 mos appt. they didn't have any of the Similac Advance so the NP gave us Similac Early Shield, Good Start and Enfamil...we thought he was good on all milk based formulas. Not sure if it was the switch in formula or not, but he got gassy, fussy, etc... He surely didn't do well on the Early Shield at all. He's been back on the regular Similac since Sunday evening and seems a bit better. We also started giving him some Gripe water.

He is down to 1 to 2 dirty diapers/day. I am going to try putting him in cloth diapers tomorrow.

We (Joel and I) started going to walk the mall last week, one morning per week.

Will update more later, Joel B is crying.
