Hello All...
I hope you all enjoyed the warm weather because I was told last night we arent suppose to see the grass for a while again..UHG! Im hoping Mr. Merrick will hold out on growing so rapidly so he can stay in his infant carrier til Spring. It has a 25lb weight limit and the lil guy is already at 20lbs and some odd ounces! And he is almost too long for it! We started cereal and he like it but it did not like him. He seemed "outta sorts" ever since we started it. I had been told that once we give him cereal he will sleep through the night. NOT SO! He was sleeping through the night before the cereal but once we started that every night on the dot at 1am he would wake up crying. I had not given him any cereal the past 2 days and he slept through the night AGAIN! He had also had a hard time trying to poop! Which ended up in a not so pleasent expereince on the changing table! I discussed this with our pediatirician and she suggested that the rice cereal may have to much iron for his tummy and he may need more fiber to keep him "regular". I got the oatmeal cereal today and he seemed to like it much better. I hope this helps his pooping and sleeping issues. Well thats all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines day!
