Gasman’s Doctor Visit

October 23, 2009 by Dad.

Etienne is a gas factory - as you all know gas / air in the body can come out one of two exits. Etienne has a really hard time getting his gas to the exists and often it can take a hour or more after feeding him to get all the bubbles and gas out so he can get back to sleeping. If he catches wind midway through a bottle or breast the feeding comes to a halt and the unwelcome wind needs to first be forcefully expelled.

Etienne also has developed a keen manipulation strategy, he seems to have the ability to start and stop hiccups on demand. Typically if he is not wrapped up nice and warm he will hiccup due to a chill in the air, but then when he is wrapped up and under a second blanket in his basket, he will start hiccups just to get attention and persuade somebody to pick him up and hold him. He does love to be held…

Well now that he is a month old it was time for a checkup at the Doctor.

His stats are as follows :

Weight : 11lbs 10oz ( up from 9lbs 8oz at birth )

Length : 23 inches ( up from 21 inches at birth )

Lanelle went back to Cezanne’s stats - she was at these milestones at 2 months - guess he is going to be her big little brother
