The Laughing Boy

I got this crazy baby boy that laughs TOO MUCH! Ha ha, there is actually no such thing, but it has happened just this past two days. I'm a big fan of watching videos on YouTube tagged with "cute babies" or "funny babies". Most of them are babies laughing hysterically. I thought to myself, man it takes Dru a little more than that to get a belly laugh out of him. But this past few days he has been a laughing machine.
Some things that get him rolling on the floor are:

*Mommy bobbing her head "like an Egyptian"
*Ozzy chasing the cat around the room
*Any type of anticipation. Like when he knows we're about to "get him"!
*& When we tickle him of course.

It's cute! I love it- we're having more fun than we used to and it's great.

I got his Halloween costume today. It's a Mouse! It comes with a big belly too. Way cute- we tried it on in the dressing room and everything. He screamed the whole time though. (He wasn't a happy boy. We had been shopping for a while- Tired)

We also went to the doctor yesterday. He's 18.4 lbs and 28 inches. This woman in line behind us at Ross shared with me that her 6 month old is 20 lbs at 24 inches. Now that's a chubby boy! Ha ha. She was a nice woman- Dru was being a cranky butt so I handed him something I wasn't planning on buying. (It was a red box with jewelry in it. Perfectly shakable toy to distract him from the fact I could not hold him and pay at the check out counter at the same time.) She and her friend distracted him from the box while I put it back up. He is not a nice baby to be around when something gets taken form him.

So, the doctor thinks he may suffer from "Breastfeeding Starvation". It's a condition where the baby doesn't want anything but breast milk and the breast milk can't keep up. Baby won't take a bottle or take solids very well. (That's him!) It's frustrating. In the next week and a half Doc told me to try really hard to get him to eat foods and if he doesn't put on any weight we will have to start weaning him! Basically force him to take a bottle and solids. That just sounds like a lot of stress to me. We did have a few pieces of string cheese and a little bit of sweet peas. He didn't even have a quarter of the jar though. The woman in Ross said her son has two jars of baby food a day. : ( It's really hard to get him to take it. I tickle him and make him laugh so that his mouth will open and then I shove the spoon in really quick! Not fair- other babies just open their mouths because they want to!) Ugh.

Anyways- I think I'm going to bed now!
