Beefcake.... BEEFCAKE!!!

So we took young Phinneus back to the Doctor because of "the gas" & his general lack of comfort on Wednesday. We changed his formula, but he still wasn't very comfortable. The doctor looked him over & said everything was fine, & to stick with the new formula. He said that it takes time for the new formula to work, at least 48 hours.. So since we had only changed the formula 24 hours prior, we had to wait another day. I'm happy to report that he has adjusted better to the new formula, & he even drops more deuces than when he was on the original formula. I think that he wasn't pooping enough on the 1st stuff, & being backed up isn't very fun!! We have been giving him echinacea tea also, it seems to be helping him out! The doctor was amazed at how much weight the 'lil man has put on. He was like almost 8 pounds!! I'm sure he's less now that he poops regularly though!!! So even though the old formula was a recipe for gas, he's ahead of schedule in the putting on weight deptartment! I don't think he digs the taste of the new formula though. He was taking 3-4 oz of the old formula per feeding, now he's at 2-3 oz of the new stuff. The doctor said that he has to get used to the new taste. I guess it's hard, I mean the old formula was the only taste he's ever known!!! It'd be like if you grew up in a place that had an awesome pizzeria, I mean great stuff, then you move to a town that only has dominos!! Yeah, you'd eat it, but not like the stuff you're accustomed to! At least the gas has deminished & he is resting. Although he's sleeping more during the day & catching a 2nd wind from 11pm - 1:30am....... Yesterday he got to take a walk with Mommy, and really slept most of the day. It's amazing to see how much more alert & aware he's become since he was born.

On Wednesday, St. Amy came out for a visit & to help out cooking dinner. Unfortunately she went through a North Jersey right of passage on the way to our house... She hit her first deer... This is something that almost everybody in the state will go through.. I think everyone I know has hit at least one. I remember when my sister got her car back from being fixed & hit a deer like the next day... I hit one while delivering pizza 10 years ago.. It just happens.. At least Amy didn't get hurt & the car is ok! Anyway, she made us a great summery pasta dish & broccoli rabe while we were at the doctors!! Thanks Amy!! Sorry for the lack of pictures today, but we're having a problem downloading the pics from the cell phones, & that's how we've been taking like 95% of the baby pics! Yous guys all have a great weekend & bababooey to all'a yall!

Peace!
