hello there,
oliver is now 7 weeks old ... and still pretty fussy. the pediatrician recommended putting him on medication for reflux to alleviate problems with frequent, copious spit-up and extreme fussiness during feedings. i'm not sure yet whether it's working or not -- he's not spitting up as much as often, certainly, but the fussiness on feeding persists. since it's mainly in the afternoon and evening, it may just be his time to fuss. evidently, babies all over the world get fussy at that time of day. anyway, though evenings are hard to get through, oliver has recently rewarded our patience by smiling at us and cooing. it's pretty wonderful and operates to almost erase our memory of the previous night's hollering. oliver also just met his uncle branden and aunt felicity -- i have no documentary proof of this meeting, as b and f aren't baby people and successfully warded off oliver's attempts to get into their arms, but it was a nice visit anyway. we hope to see them again when oliver's too big to scare them away. oliver spent a lot of last week in his uncle larry's and aunt gail's arms. larry and gail lured us over with food and rest and we're very grateful for both! i even left oliver with them to go to lunch!

Yay! That's a much happier looking baby. I hope the fussiness is on it's way out. :)
