Curious Curtis

This is Curtis the day after sickness...one of the most stressful days of my life. At about midnight (Friday night), he threw up everything that was in his stomach, then again at about 4:30, and then 7:30, and then 11:30 a.m. I'm not just talking about little bits of spit up, this was cup fulls of milk. He was becoming dehydrated, and chapped. It's so hard to see your baby like that. Curtis was very lazy and not himself yesterday. Mommy wasn't herself either. I was awake with him at 4:30 and didn't get to bed until 11:00 p.m. Sure was a long day. But after feeding him very little every hour, (about an ounce every hour) he was gradually able to hold down his food. And I am happy to report that he hasn't thrown up and he blew out of 3 diapers this morning!

These pictures are of Curtis' normal expression. Generally he looks like this when he's looking for something, concentrating on something, or in a daze. Silly boy!

Curtis' First Swim

Last weekend we spent time at my parents condo/resort. There was a fun pool and jacuzzi to play in...so we did! Curtis seemed to like it very much. We'll definatly be going swimming in the summer!

4 Months Old...And Getting Bigger!

We went to the doctor today to have shots done. NOT FUN! I hate hearing the terror in his scream. But we gotta do it...right? We also found out that he weighs 14 lbs. 8 oz. and he is 26 inches long. So for length, he's in the 95th percentile, and 75 for weight. VERY FUN! Every time we see the doctor he tells me that I was one of the best deliveries he's done...given the circumstance (the knot in the cord, and wrapped around twice, etc.). He also comments on how tall I am every time. Silly. But things are good here...still snow on the ground and expecting more this weekend. Never thought I would live in place that kept snow on the ground for longer than an hour.
