Well, we just got back from Wesley's 1 month Well Check visit. He's doing all the developmental things, like raising his nose off the floor/table, following me with his eyes, looking at our faces, and making cooing/gurgling noises! He has rolled over once, too! He's very alert. Unfortunately, and I knew this going in, he has the same reflux issue that Charlie had. He will be taking Baby Zantac for at least 3 months. Charlie was on it for 6, and I think Wesley will be as well.
Wesley- now this blew my mind- weighs 9lbs and 2 oz!!!!!! I thought he didn't weigh more than 7 1/2lbs! Boy was I shocked! He doesn't feel that heavy! Charlie weighed 10 14oz at his 1 month check up, but he was also born on time and weighed more at birth. So factoring in those two things, I think if Wesley had been born on time he and Charlie would be neck and neck. I do suspect, however, that Wesley will be taller than Charlie. Wesley was 21 1/4" long today, and Charlie was 23" at his 1 month. Like I said, they're pretty much the same right now. Wesley's arms are way longer than Charlie's. But Charlie's feet are much bigger than Wesley's. So, who knows? I'm just doing some comparisons.
We, for the first time ever, used Frisch's coupons for free kids meals! You know the ones! The ones we used to get as kids around Halloween and Christmas! I looked forward to using those as a kid, like I got my own special menu to pick my favorite food! Charlie ate very well, too! He got a kids burger with an extra side of pickles, fries and chocolate milk. I got a Jr big boy and salad bar and of course fed him tomatoes!! His first favorite! He ate peaches, too! I felt like this was great! Watching him hold his own little burger and eat craisens and tomatoes and peaches made me feel like he was getting lots of vitamins! It made me also wonder what Wesley will like! I couldn't believe it the other day when Charlie pointed to the jar of pickle chips for hamburgers in the fridge for a "snack". He ate what I put in the bowl and asked for more! So I gave him about 8 more slices and he ate all of those, too! I guess he gets that from me! The highlight of my summers off of school would be to take a dollar or two and go to the corner store and buy a 25c Hug juice, a 50c dill pickle, and the rest was spent on penny candy of my choice! LOL! Looking back, I bet I made that old lady so aggravated! I would take at least 15 minutes to decide what candy I wanted her to put in that little brown paper bag! Then we'd go over to my old Elementary School and play on the swings and eat our candy and pickles! It was about a mile or 2 from home so we always rode our bikes! Sadly, that corner store doesn't exist anymore and I wonder if one day the school won't either.
Well I have got to quit blogging and get my order of pictures in to the lab, get ready to go to the grocery- Kroger has a mega event where you get 4x the points on gift cards!! So we'll be getting gas with the fuel points we already have racked up and add to the ones for December! And then we have some dear friends coming this evening to visit Wesley and bring a quilt she made him!! In the past week I have gotten a crocheted blanket for Wesley and a beautifully knitted one from Jeff's supervisor's wife! Makes me want to learn to knit! And then we promised Charlie we will put all the ornaments on the tree tonight! :)
~Okay, so long!
