4 weeks old!

Charlie turned 4 weeks old yesterday! We had an appt at the pediatrician's office, and Charlie now weighs 9 lbs, 7 ozs. I am going to have to change his nickname from Piglet to Chunky Monkey!

The ped said he thinks Charlie has reflux, so we are now on Axid, an antacid. We started yesterday, and we'll see what it brings...Hopefully more sleep for him, and less screaming. The doc said there is usually less spit-up, but sometimes not. I can deal with the spit-up, if he was just happier.

We have also started Charlie on a bottle once a day with breast milk, and Jason gets to feed him then. I think they both like it.

And we are putting Charlie in his crib now. The ped recommended because Charlie makes so much noise (grunting, etc.) and it was keeping me up at night, that we move him into his own room. So we started that last night, and we have stopped waking him up to eat at night. Last night he had two 4 hour periods between eating! Yeah!

Tomorrow night we go to a work party/dinner for my company, so Charlie will get to meet alot of new people and take his first trip into the city...How exciting! :)

Well, here are a couple of pictures. Til next time...Love, Elizabeth and Charlie
