My mood while writing this blog: Ok

18 June

Today Trystian had his monthly appointment. He weighed in at 12 lb and 9 oz !!! He's 23 1/4 inches!!! He sure is growing! The doc changed his medicine so he's not on the Amoxil anymore, and we have moved up to something else I can't pronounce.

Still hates his tummy time, although I have been making progress by putting him on his tummy and then almost immediately rolling him over, and over and over, and then leave him on his tummy and play for a few mins, then roll roll roll... But then he usually gets aggrivated! We love Airplane time, and time in our jumpy activity seat though!!! So he is working those muscles!

Our lil man loves it after baths though, I just can't say this enough! He loves playing peek-a-boo and just coos and gurgles!!! Try peek-a-boo anyother time, and he just looks at you and gets agitated... Oh well, I'm sure he will like to play more soon. I better let him grow up on his pace and not rush anything. I love our cuddle time, and the fact that he will usually quiet right down as soon as I hold him.

We were in the doctor this morning and I put him on the table for the Doctor to look at, and he immediately started whaling!!! The doctor said I could pick him up, and it was like night and day. The doctor got a smirk on her face and said that Trystian has us wrapped around his little pinky... I guess we give in too much and she said we are not bad parents to let him cry a little. She even said "babies are like pets, you have to train them, and not give in" I'm not really liking the comparrison between our child and a dog, but it's kinda true I guess.
