Keegan seems to be growing like crazy. He actually outgrew some of his onesies. It was weird to put them in a box to be packed away. It will be even more strange when we move from his 0-3 months drawer to his 3-6 months drawer. It looks like the hair is growing back on the top of his head, slowly, but it's there. And his eyebrows are in although still very light. There is also a new bald spot on the back of his head. Apparently that is normal since we compared spots with the other babies at mommy & me.
He is looking around more than ever and seems to be focusing on specific items at times. I am still waiting for a real smile. He also makes all kinds of noises and waves his hands around for amusement. Keegan loves to be bounced on your leg like he is riding a bucking bronco. Clearly a child who enjoys some excitement.
Unfortunately his tummy and gas troubles continue. I give him the drops at every feeding but I am not sure if they help. He still has trouble getting back to sleep during the night. I give him a massage and walk with him but he wakes back up when I put him down. He is still sleeping with us because it is easier to rub his tummy and comfort him that way. Hopefully he will grow out of it in a few more weeks and then I'll move him to his cradle in our room.
We were looking around at mommy & me today and checking out the other babies. Keegan is the only one with an "outie" belly button. He is not just out but really out. I wonder if this will change over time. Right now I love seeing that fat little tummy.

Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.

aww, fat lil baby tummy! :)
Oh, I was so sad as Maya outgrew some of my favorite things. I have a little keepsake box for the important stuff, but I am thinking about listing the rest on eBay and maybe making a few bucks for good measure.
Maya is sleeping with us too, and I imagine that she will do so fairly regularly until she understands the concept of separate space. Although I recognize that it could be *years*, it's really such a short time, and there's nothing more fulfillng that that little snoogly body sleeping happily by your side!
love to you, and smooch that outie for me!
Hi lovely! Long time no see. I have missed having more time to read blogs.
What type of drops are you giving Keegan? Charlotte is very gassy too. She WONT burp and then toots up a storm and is all miserable with gas. Its awful! i don't know what to do. We are going to the doc next week, but I was curious what you were doing...
