Bromance

 Eli has to have his bromance time. In this picture they decided to include Daddy! This is the look that Samuel has for his Dad all the time. He is constantly staring at him. I think it’s because Brian picks him up a lot quicker than I do. The doctor told me it’s because his Dad is funny looking.  His comment made me feel a little better, he responds like Brian is his sole caretaker.



Sam’s 4.5 month doctor check-up...Big Day for Sam. He got two shots and two Bugs Bunny band aids.  Eli was right there to comfort him, hugging him saying, “It's ok lil brother, I’m here” it was just pure sweetness.  Eli was very happy and vocalized he didn’t get shots.  Sam also started rice cereal two days ago, just one meal a day, dinner.  He started waking up more at night and non-stop nursing so it was a huge sign he needed more food.  He also has conjunctivitis in his left eye; he has had it since he was born.  We’ve had drops, antibiotics and now he is on eye ointment.  It seems to be working.  If it doesn’t we are going to try Vijamox?  Sam's stats: Height: 26.5 inches (88.45%), Weight: 17 lbs 4 oz ( 82.51%) HC: 17.4 inches (88.09%).  The doctor also said that his heart murmur is getting softer and thinks it is getting smaller.  This is the first time the doctor has said it was softer, it has always been really loud.  Hopefully it is closing up, we'll know for sure when he has an echo at six months.
 
How did my kid end up with every color of shoe and I have hardly any shoes?  I guess we need to invest in Croc stock.  I guess that's what happens when you have kids, thankfully Sam will be able to get wear out of them too.  Anyone need any for the summer we have size 4-5 Blue Generic, 6-7 Yellow, 8-9 Green.
