Great Progress!

Crib training....... DAY 1


Crib training....... DAY 2

Today we had to take Landon for his Cardiology appointment to find out what the results were, regarding his heart, one month after birth. While there they managed to bruise his arm with the blood pressure cuff ..my poor little guy :( ...and then told us that they couldnt get a correct reading from it because after a while he started to cry. Well...duh...you bruise my baby and I think he will cry. He was a tough guy for a few minutes of it but then he didnt want to take it anymore. They also weighed and measured him and we found that he is now about 13 lb.s and 4 oz. and is 22 3/4 inches!!! I thought that was cool. He may end up one of the tallest of the family!
So, for the really good news....his heart news!... The doctor came in and started talking to us about it and it was sounding like he was saying that when he checked him at the hospital he had 1 out of 3 irregular heartbeats which he would consider worse than something benign. He continued talking to us and it sounded to me like he said...those symptoms are almost all gone. But then I clarified a couple minutes later and said...so their almost all gone? He said no, they are all gone! So, that was our really good news all of his irregularity is gone! The doctor said he heard what sounded like a normal baby heart murmer so we will just check when Landon is 6 months on that. The doctor tried to explain that the reason for the murmer on babies is that their heart hasn't completely developed and expanded yet but by about 6 months they are developed enough where it should be gone. These are things that I wouldnt have thought to even check on before he was born!!!
On another note, I decided to try to conquer the "Crib Battle". Yesterday, I started working with him on it. I only try 1 time per day. I dont want to bother him too much with it at first...and I dont want to wear myself out too much either. I tried yesterday and of course he probably cries more than he sleeps but I hang around and listen for his sounds. He will only sleep about 15 minutes but he is learning and that's progress to me.
So, that is the latest! I am so in love with my little boy. I tell him that he is my special baby...my only one :). For in the future he may be my only baby...
