Meet Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde

Yes, Luke has two distinct personalities. One is smiley, cooing bundle of love that eats, plays, then goes right to sleep. The other is a fussing, crying, inconsolable wiggle worm. This past weekend he was so good and we had such a nice time with him. He went out for a walk with us and met our friends Alex and Joanna. The weekend prior he didnt nap at all cried on and off all day. He had received his vaccines a few days before and we didn't know that they were disturbing his routine. John's parents had also been visiting and there was much more excitement than usual for the little guy.
We dont know what else to do besides return to a regular, predictable schedule for him and hope we have more good days than bad! His reflux pain seems to be better on the Axid and Prevacid but he continues to have lots of gas. Daddy discovered that pushing his knees up to his chest helps him ( that was at about hour 2 of crying). We love this little man though and he is getting cuter each day. Smiling more and starting to coo, often times at his woozit toy. His loves taking baths and lays there in the most serene state (most of the times).
At our last appointment he was 9 lb 15 oz. He is finally ON the growth chart! In the 8th percentile for a 2 month old but the 50th % for a premie! His head is in the 75th % and definitely looks like a small melon. His legs and arms are starting to fill out and he actually has some rolls! Now that he's bigger we are waiting (and hoping) he will drop one of his nighttime
feeds.
