I had to take Dalen back to see his ped. again yesterday afternoon. I wasn't planning on the visit, but I had called them in the morning to tell them that his Zantac wasn't lasting him all day but the dr. said he wanted me to bring Dalen back in. For the past few days mornings and nights were a terror. He would cry and scream and cough and gag, it was horrible. It turns out that the growth spurt he had last week was the culprit. He wasn't getting enough of a dosage because he is bigger now. He weighed a whopping 12 lb. 1 oz. and was 22 1/2 in! He gained almost 2 lbs. and grew 1 1/4 in in two weeks! Anyways, the dr. raised his dose. I'm a hoping this works. The little twirp flirted with ALL the nurses at the dr.'s office, smiling at them with his sparkly little eyes...I need to get a stick already! I keep telling him that girls are the "Debil" (from Waterboy). ;-)
I've decided that Dalen is too young and it's too cold outside for me to have him out for tonight's Trick or Treat. I wasn't going to take him Trick or Treating this year anyways, but I was going to have him out while we gave out candy. Then Travis informed me that he has class tonight so he won't be home and there's no way I could handle Dalen and give out candy to a zillion kids at the same time so I'm just going to stay inside. I might have him out at my parent's house for a few minutes to show him off to the neighbors since they have not seen him yet. Which reminds me, today Dalen is 6 weeks old!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Trick or Treat!

Already 12 lbs! He's a big boy. I hope the increase in the meds help him feel better!
Dalen is such a cutie! I love his little trick or treat shirt. I can't believe he's 12 lbs! Owen goes to the dr. tomorrow and I'm excited to see how much he's grown. The last time he was weighed he was only a week old.
It was great meeting you and your family tonight. Hopefully we will be able to meet again soon. Dalen is ADORABLE! :-)
Love the outfit! I can't believe he's 12lbs already!
