We figured out by week 3 of your life that you had reflux (GERD). You had raspy breathing when you ate, you'd arch you back while eating, and you would cry after eating. We've tried 3 different medicines and we are thinking the 3rd one is working for you. We also discovered (with the help of Aunt Lacey and Goldie) that putting you to bed at night on your tummy really helps you. After putting you to bed on your tummy is when you started sleeping better. You have been a lot happier since giving you medicine.
Since the weather has warmed up you have been spending a lot more time outside. We've found out that when you're upset if we put you in your stroller and go cruising you calm down. We also discovered that you love your security blanket (that I named Betsy). She helps hold your Binky in and seems to help you fall asleep.
On Saturday June 11, 2011 you rolled over from your tummy to your back. Aunt Lacey and me caught you the first time. You got to your side and then it took you a while to get that leg all the way over. Once you figured it you were on your back. I tried getting you to do it again but you weren't too happy with me moving you. So we let you alone. Once your daddy and Uncle TJ got back to the house Daddy put you on your tummy and you slowly rolled onto your back again. We were very excited and bragged about it to the family on Sunday at your baptism.
You have made great progress in the first 8 weeks of your life. We are looking forward to what is to come!!

| Pa's first time (probably going to be the only time) changing your diaper. |
 |
| Just chilling in my bouncer. It vibrates too and you love it. |
 |
| You love your hands by your head. Daddy caught this picture one morning when he was going to get you up. |
 |
| Not quite ready for the bumbo chair. |
 |
| First time out in the Pooh stroller. |
 |
| Wearing my camo! Thanks to Grandma Irma. Daddy loves your outfit. He has been asking me weakly since we brought you home if you were big enough yet to wear it. |
 |
| Happy Memorial Day! 5 weeks and 6 days old and fitting a lot better in the Bumbo seat. |
 |
| We went to the pool with Aunt Jamie. You set in your stroller and slept until right before we left. I held onto you and dipped your feet into the water. You fussed for a very short bit and then went right back to snoozing. |
 |
| 6/11/11 Loving Aunt Lacey! This is also the day that you rolled from your tummy to your back. |
 |
| Security blanket, Betsy. Betsy really helps sooth you. Right now when only use it when you're in your seats. |
