Remedy for Colics

Colics!!!!! So painful, but Mommy and Daddy are starting to be pros.

*The shower-works(Thanks Gen) unfortunately after 20mins...mom got tired and started running out of hot water.

*The walk in the Snuggli( not comfortable enough)

*The Dryer....works, but is too noisy(Maybe Mom and Dad should invest in new equipment)
*The Hot towel-Gets cold very quickly

*Medication "Cocyntal" & "Ovol"-Don't work!

*Walks around the block at all hours

*The car ride(Not very environmental friendly)

* The swing....(Not a fan)

What works for me is this......Hold me on your belly and bounce me lightly....I fall asleep, and then cross your fingers that I don't wake up.

Here I am ...the game is about to start......

Here I am 3hrs later I never woke up.

Find what works for you..and stick to it........Took Mom and Dad 3 weeks.

Head's up

Ok ok ok, I enjoy being on my stomach, but I'm not sure I enjoy being photographed every half second. I'll hold my head up when I'm ready. I'm almost there. Check it out

Here's a short clip of me when I came back from my Doc last week.I had the hiccups, and Mom thought it was funny.

Mom's cell phone

Mom just figured out how to post pictures from her cell phone. Here are a few pics of me.

What a morning

Went to the Dr. today for my foot. T'was quite a rough one......I first had to have an ultrasound of my hips. That alone almost took 45mins, because I felt uncomfortable, and hated to get touched. Mommy had to hold me in her arms the whole time. The results are in......Everything is perfect. Then I had my cast removed and after one whole week........Believe it or not...my foot is straight again. YEAH!!! I now have a cast( made of rubber). I will keep this one for 2 weeks and then I'll have to wear a little boot.

It's sunny, but it's cold!

I was in Quebec the whole weekend and enjoyed my self very much. Saturday morning I went for a strolle around my Grand Parents' neighborhood up in Beauport Beach. T'was a sunny day, but unlike Montreal, it was Freezing. Weird how it felt like winter again only 3 hours away.

In the afternoon, we headed down to Donnacona to visit my other Grand Parents. Mom had Sugar On Snow (Tire d'érable) so I had a taste at my feeding time...that stuff is delicious . It was nice to see everyone again. Here's a picture of me on my cousin Kelly's lap.

Who's to blame?

Last night, I watched part of the game with Daddy, and in the second period...Mommy took me out for a car ride cause I was having colics :(...Not only was I crying because of my colics, but also because of my little foot. As you can all see I have a Cast on my left foot. It doesn't hurt...it's just very annoying. Atleast I get to have different colors every week. Ya, Mom and I have to go to Shriner Hospital every week to get a new Cast put on...until my foot starts getting straight again.But who's to blame? The Cast technician said it was Daddy's fault..ha ha

On a brighter note..The Habs made it to second round. Don't I look happy?

A Day at the Gym

I worked out all morning...I swear.

I'm actually pretending to sleep.

Go Habs Go!

Tonight is a big Hockey game. Dad and I are watching it together.

Mom added these two pictures cause she thought they were funny. I was nice an cozy.

I'm Walking

I went for a nice walk today with my Mom,her friend Catherine and Ella(Catherine's daughter), Ella is 3 weeks old. I don't have any pictures, because Mom forgot her camera, but we're going again next week.

Mom didn't bring her camera to the Canal Lachine, but had time to take me in my outfit.

This was me after the walk.
I was exhausted

Sunday morning

Last night I fell asleep on the Montreal vs Boston game...... I did not have colics until 11:30pm til 1:00am, but then I went straight to sleep got up for 1 diaper change(2 mins) and 2 feedings(20mins for both) and then woke up at 9:55am

When I got up mom set me to chill in my crib there I relaxed to the sound of my mobile. Mom was suprised to see that I was actually having loads of fun.

*************************************************************************

After an exciting start I spent some time in the gym.

Baby Language

OK OK OK......

I think that now with this info..mom and dad can understand what I want....What do you think?


"According to Dunstan, the five universal words (or sound reflexes) used by infants are:"

Neh
I'm hungry - An infant uses the sound reflex "Neh" to communicate their hunger. The sound is produced when the sucking reflex is triggered, and the tongue is pushed up on the roof of the mouth.

Owh
I'm sleepy - An infant uses the sound reflex "Owh" to communicate that they are tired. The sound is produced much like an audible yawn.

Heh
I'm experiencing discomfort - An infant uses the sound reflex "Heh" to communicate stress, discomfort, or perhaps that they need a fresh diaper. The sound is produced by a response to a skin reflex, such as feeling sweat or itchiness in the bum.

Eairh
I have lower gas - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eairh" to communicate they have flatulence or an upset stomach. The sound is produced when trapped air from a belch that is unable to release and travels to the stomach where the muscles of the intestine tighten to force the air bubble out. Often, this sound will indicate that a bowel movement is in progress, and the infant will bend its knees, bringing the legs toward the torso. This leg movement assists in the ongoing process.

Eh
I need to burp - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eh" to communicate that they need to be burped. The sound is produced when a large bubble of trapped air is caught in the chest, and the reflex is trying to release this out of the mouth.




Mommy said:"If you ask me......they all sound the same..."

Today, I slept all day and now I am watching some TV
