Tidbits on the little bits


You may have noticed in recent pictures a couple things with Logan
1. He hasn't had his glasses on
2. His hair is crazy Albert Einstein outta control

The scoop:
1. You try putting his glasses back on after he's taken them off for the billionth time while nursing a newborn. Simple as that. He hasn't been any better keeping them on and it's become more difficult to keep him distracted enough to keep them on or to drop everything to run and put them back on. We have a follow up eye appt at the end of the month, not sure what we'll discuss as far as options but keeping his glasses on is near impossible.
2. His hair has grown wings in the last month. Literally. Behind his ears it's curling up giving him the mad scientist look. Thinkin for his halfer he's getting a real first time hair cut.

And featured in the picture above you may notice Reagan's double chin.

The scoop:
Plain and simple the girl eats like a champ. But it comes at a painful price folks. The mechanisms for sucking aren't quite clicking .... Actually quite the contrary - she clicks throughout the entire feeding (laughing at my lame breastfeeding play on words, lol) She clicks with the bottle, she clicks with the pacifer. She can't suck properly. Which brings me pain & her gas. I've been to a Lactation Consultant twice now and today we were given an appointment to see an Ear, Nose & Throat doctor to get a second opinion on a possible tongue tie situation. Appointment isn't until the end of the month - few more weeks of toe curling pain.

  1. can't imagine the pain you've been dealing with...glad you are seeing if there are other solutions.

    glasses...in a couple of months, reagan won't be so needy and you can focus on certain hours of the day for logan to wear his glasses... For now, sit them on the shelf. There are just WAY too many things going on in your life to be stressed about them.

    Maybe allow Grandma to help with that situation when she comes to visit :)
