Family Update

We took Keegan to the doctor for his one month check up last Tuesday and he is up to 8lbs 10.5oz! He has been having some problems though, he screams crying just about every time after he eats; at first I thought it was gas related, but then started thinking there must be more to it. He also has a bit of reflux, so the doctor prescribed Zantac twice a day to see if that would help. It seems that yesterday he finally turned the corner a bit. He has been much more comfortable after eating, although now he seems to be spitting up more!?! Other than that he is just great; well, of course it would be better if he would sleep longer than 3 hours at a time at night but that will come with time I suppose. He is now starting to make some cooing noises and they are so cute. He is also turning into a little bald guy, the hair on the top of his head is receding, but the sides and back are staying put for now.

While we were at the doctors office Riley got her flu shot and the H1N1 vaccine. She did cry a bit (the 2nd shot puts her over the edge, 1 she can handle without a peep), but it was short lived. We came home at had a "pop" (popsicle) for being so good! She is still just so much fun and so funny! Her vocabulary continues to grow and she is putting more and more words together, I imagine one day we will wake up and she will be speaking in sentences.

Over the last week Matt and I have had our fair share of shots also. We both got the flu shot for the first time. It was recommended since we have a child under 6 months and he is not able to get any vaccines. Then Saturday we stood in line at Wal-Mart for 3.5 hours to get the H1N1 vaccine. Yes, 3.5 hours, it was crazy, but if it is what is best for Keegan it is worth it. We were supposed to go with friends to a pumpkin patch, but instead all of us got shots - not quite the same, but a good deed done.
