Enzo surprised us this month. Jeremy was sure Enzo would weigh 17lbs, but he hasn't even hit 15lbs yet. His weight is average, his length is a little above average, and his head is finally rounding out, making it above average. However, he still can't fit into his new sunglasses or the 3 new hats he was given. He still has a way to go until he fits into those.

Enzo did really well at his Dr. appointment. He took his oral vaccine a lot easier this time, and only cried for about 30 seconds after his shots. However, he didn't do too well later that evening. Something from the shots must have really upset his stomach, because he screamed for about a 1/2 hour. We tried feeding him, gave him tylenol, rocking, soothing, nothing worked. We gave him a bath and he stopped screaming for a little while, but as soon as we took him out, he started back up. So we took a drive in the car and he conked right out. We drove around for about an hour to make sure he wouldn't wake back up as soon as the car stopped. Enzo slept until I fed and changed him around 11pm. Then he went back to sleep, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep. He was tooting like crazy, and making grunting noises. He woke back up around 3am with a fever of 100.5. I gave Enzo more tylenol and fed him. Around 4am he went back to sleep, grunting the whole time. I finally fell back into a good sleep around 5:30. He woke up screaming again around 8am. His fever was 101.7, and he was so pitiful. So I took off his jammies, changed his diaper, fed him, and gave him more tylenol. His fever has since come down. It stays in the 99-100 degree range with tylenol. Hopefully it will go away soon.

Overall, Enzo is our happy, easygoing little boy. He can roll from his tummy to his back like a champ. Tummy time doesn't last too long because he rolls over as soon as we put him on his tummy. He can roll on his side from his back, but he usually doesn't roll over onto his tummy. He has a couple times, but hasn't made it a habit.

Enzo is sleeping much better. He usually has an 8 hour stretch, eats, then goes back to sleep for 3 hours. We have a nice routine going. But I'm sure it will change once he really starts teething. Jeremy and I are really enjoying our little boy.
