Liam Update

Here are the stats from Liam's two month checkup.  He is having no problem growing and the doctor said things look good.  He now weighs 12lb 6oz and is 23 1/2 inches long, which puts him around the 96th percentile for both.  His head is also big.  =)  I'm kind of shocked by how long he is - is it normal to grow 4 inches since birth?!?  At any rate, I hope both of my boys continue to grow taller and have their daddy's long legs.

Today I took Liam to a chiropractor.  Since about 2 1/2 weeks old he has had times where he cries for no apparent reason.  I know babies cry, but the amount he cries doesn't seem right.  And people that have been around Liam for an extended period of time notice, so I know it's not me being a paranoid mom!  To try and figure out why he cries I cut out dairy, strawberries and gave him formula.  Each tactic would work for about 3 or 4 days and then he would cry again.  Our doctor really didn't have any advice on what else I could do or why he cries like that, so I decided to try a chiropractor.  Beckett never went to one, so this was new territory for me!! 

The Dr. adjusted Liam's lower back and said I should notice a difference in a day or two.  He is taking a really good nap right now, so I'm hoping it did the trick.  I'm also hoping this doesn't "wear out" in 4 days.  We shall see!  For now I am enjoying a little boy that seems a bit happier and more comfortable.
