Emerson is 10 Weeks Old!

At 10 weeks old Emerson is smiling, cooing, sitting in a Bumbo, enjoying the swing, playing more on the playmat, grasping objects, and looking at himself in a mirror. He likes to imitate your sounds and facial expressions. He eats 6 ounces every 3 hours. He is having some trouble with bowel movements and has been going every 3-4 days. Day 4 we gave him  sugar water and finally a suppository. He has been very fussy! The pictures are of the smiles we catch when he is in a good mood which hasn't been too often! We took him to the doctor and they increased his Prevacid to twice a day.  We also started putting rice cereal in his bottle at night. After about a week, we think we may finally be seeing some improvement. This new found happiness can probably be attributed to the increase in medication and the fact that he has begun pooping more regularly. Or it may be because he's more fulfilled with the rice cereal. Whatever the reason, we'll take it! We hope it continues!! He weighs 11 pounds 6 ounces. While he is registering a little small on the growth chart, he seems so big to us! He is growing so fast!
