Landon's 3 week well child visit

Landon went for his 3 week well child visit today... the md said he is doing GREAT! He has gained weight from 5lbs 3oz to 7lbs 6 oz. WOW... but he has also grown from 18inches long to 21 inches long! GO Landon! The md did change his formula to something that is heavier to ensure it stays in his stomach and not out through vomitting or burping or gas! He was also placed on medication for the reflux. We are hoping to catch it early and it will be treated so no harm done, where as Payten we didn't medicate until she was 6 months old and she had already had damage done and now she continues to be on medication for reflux. Landon is still wearing his preemie clothes but is growing too long. He needs to grow some in his mid section to get out of newborn diapers and fill out newborn clothes the way they are supposed to fit. He is awake more now and more alert to things around him. He loves his big sister...she is loud and entertaining! The dog is loving having a baby in the house again... she is so excited if formula is left out, she just loves baby formula! We are hoping that Landon does not develop the same issues as Payten... right now they are on the same growth chart although Payten's face had filled out and Landon hasn't quite yet. They will not be denying their related anytime soon.
