9 Weeks Old!

Personality: Bear is starting to have fun doing more things now! He will now tolerate siting and chilling for about 30 minutes (something he would not do before unless someone was holding him). I took a bath with him yesterday and he kicked and played in the water and was smiling up a storm, he loved it so much! He also is starting to get clingy with Anthony and I. Sometimes he just wants to see us and know we are there. We will put him in the swing and then sit behind it on the couch and he will start crying, but if we turn the swing around so he can see us he will stop.
Growth: Bear is still 21.5 in but he is now 11lbs 10oz! He gained a full lb in just a week and a half! His height is in the 5th percentile and his weight is in the 46th. The doctor said for his height is is sorta fat but nothing to be concerned about. His head is 39 cm and in the 5th percentile too.
Health: When we took Bear to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month wellness the doctor said he looked super healthy. He got 5 shots and didn't cry for longer than 3 seconds. He does have an under the skin rash on his left leg and the doctor told us to watch and see what happens. If it gets worst we will need to take him to the ER because it may be capillary related. Lately he has been spitting up through his nose more, we talked to her about that and she said that is a form of projectile vomiting and said he may have a narrowing of his throat. We scheduled an appointment to come back in two weeks to see if that and the rash has gotten better or not, so we will just have to wait and see how this goes. We picked up his prescription for the Thrush too so we will be giving him that with in the next few days. I am still not so sure he actually has Thrush but the doctor said it wont harm him if he doesn't.
Sleeping: Bear is getting better and better at sleeping! Last night he slept the longest he ever has. He went to bed at around 8:30 PM and slept all the way to 3:30 AM! He then woke again at 6:15 AM. He is getting closer and closer to sleeping through the night. Yay Bear!

Eating pic will be posted later today.
Eating: While at the doctor, we talked about his fussiness and spiting up. We asked the doctor if she thought maybe he was allergic to the formula. She said that she thought we were feeding him too much. She suggested to bring down his 6oz to 4oz and try and soothe him with a binky and see if that helps. She thinks that his belly is getting too full causing him to have a belly ache and spit up. We started trying to just limit him to 4 oz every 2-3 hours yesterday. It has actually been going very well so far. Hopefully it stays going well and he becomes less fussy!
