Poor baby :(

As some of you know, we had to put Wyatt on formula several weeks ago. Since then, our pleasant little guy just hasn't been the same. He is extremely fussy (even sometimes when eating), constantly congested, cries like he is pain, arches his back and jerks around while he eats- it's terrible and breaking our hearts to see him like this. Originally, we thought it was the kind of formula, so we switched to one that has less lactose and is supposedly easier to digest, still nothing... I called the pediatrician and they recommended trying a Soy based formula. After doing that for almost week, still nothing changed. So this morning I called and got an apt. The Dr. was booked, but we saw the nurse practitioner. She confirmed what we had started to suspect, infant reflux. The poor little guy has been having the "burning" feeling from the reflux. For now, she wants us to try putting rice cereal in his bottles. This will thicken the formula and hopefully help to keep it down.We're also keeping him in a more upright position when feeding him and then keeping him propped up after he eats. If this doesn't help, we'll have to put him on medicine, like Zantac :(

On a happier note, we had a fun 4th of July weekend at Mom and Dad's. Stephen and Amy were able to come and stay the weekend too and it is always nice to get to spend time with them. They were also helpful babysitters, as Aaron and I went to Ada for one of my best friends weddings. Here are a few pics...
