Two Months! Gas, Reflux, Growth Spurt, and Logan's First Cold

Crazy Logan peaked about a week ago. His discomfort simply got too bad and we were having difficulty consoling him (for the most part up to last week he would always be content and happy when held, rocked, walked, or bounced). Then he just wouldn't take to the tricks we had up our sleeves, and I wasn't sure what was going on. I have suspected reflux for a while...but didn't think it was bothering him too much until he started to STRONGLY protest the changing table (usually he loves it because he can look at these things I have hanging from it). Logan has always gotten this "sour taste in his mouth" look - that's the best I can describe it...but last week he began coughing and gagging, followed by what seemed like a pause in his breathing. We weren't sleeping because he HATES being on his back and would wake constantly and cry out. I also think he was growing last week because he ate every 2-2.5 hours. To top it off, he got his first cold (all three of us got it!) Needless to say, Logan was miserable, and we were pretty tired. So we acted in full force and began treating his reflux, his cold, and his possible gas (I am not sure how bad that was bothering him but figured, what the heck, let's add the gas drops).

Wouldn't you know - Logan is a new little man! He hardly cries unless he is tired or bored (and I can read his signals again). He sleeps for 2 hours straight during the day (the BEST naps he has ever had), and has gone a few 5-6 hour stretches at night. He smiles, coos, and seems so pleasant! It is hard to know what did it though, since we acted on so many issues at one time. And of course, it could simply be that Logan is two months, and developmentally he is able to handle the world a little more. Who knows. Thanks to all my mommy friends who have listened to me and offered encouragement over the phone - I couldn't have gotten through the last few weeks without you!


Hopefully now, with Logan napping a little (and NOT in my arms), I will be able to keep up with posts. And the pictures should be more fun since he is such an animated little guy these days!

Stats:
Weight - 12 lbs, 2 oz (60%)
Length - 23.75 inches (80%)

Not sure if you can see but we moved him out of the Pack'N'Play in our room to his crib - you can see him now on the video monitor. :) Rather than take the Pack'N'Play down, I quickly found another use for it as a laundry organizer, ha!
