11 Weeks

13lbs 10oz. This is how much baby Ben weighs this week. Yep. Holy Cow! We had to make our first sick baby appointment on Saturday. Ben was spitting up much more than his normal spitting up so we went in to see what was going on. And the first thing they did was weight him-the nurse guessed 14lbs and I said no way. But yep Ben gained 1lb 2oz in 11 days. But the good news is that he just has a little acid reflux which he will out grow in the next few  months. And the reflux doesn't seem to be harboring him from gaining weight so the doctor isn't really worried. So we had to back down from 5oz feedings to 3oz feedings. But that only last about 36 hours because Ben would scream after every feeding like we were starving him so I caved and we are now doing 4oz per feeding. I still haven't noticed any change in his spitting up but maybe we will as the week goes on. Other than that the week went well. Ben started the week with a playdate with Riley (our neighbor) which led to his first kiss! On Thursday we went to Gymboree where he met some new friends! He is still the youngest in the class but he isn't the only boy anymore! On Friday we had a playdate at Leo's house!
