Our Happy boy! Well, the results of Grayson's reflux test were positive - he officially has reflux. For ten minutes the tech watched the milk in Grayson's belly and the opening of his esophagus. We could see the milk reflux up his esophagus into his throat and then back down. The milk also collects in his throat and just sits there until he is upright. Each time this happened Grayson would scream - just like he does at home. A little comforting for me, I have to say, that I'm not imagining things in my lack of sleep state! In a ten minute picture he refluxed 6,7 times. Not the worst case but definitely not a minor one either. Poor guy! As a result, Grayson is taking MUCH more zantac and it is really helping. He is so happy and seems to be sleeping better too - thank goodness! Hopefully we won't get the external part of reflux once he starts cereal!!!

FYI...We are taking Grayson to the Children's hospital in Ft Worth on Tuesday for an upper GI test. He is still being medicated for reflux and we want to make sure that it is completely necessary. It seems that the Zantac isn't helping him like if first did so before upping the dosage again or changing to something stronger we want to be a little more informed. The test isn't a big deal - he will drink some barium and they will take a series of xrays to see what his tummy is doing and to make sure nothing else is going on. Hopefully we can get it figured out - he isn't sleeping well and on top of this he has really bad allergies. Poor guy! At least he isn't hurting on the weight side of things!!!

Grayson had his 4 month appointment on Thursday. He weighs 16 pounds and is 27.5 inches long. (99% compared to all other 4 month olds) Yes, he is a big boy. For some perspective....At 6 months, Jackson was 26 inches long and 18 pounds. I guess Grayson isn't the "little" brother after all.

All dressed up and nowhere to go! They were supposed to have pictures taken at MOPS but the picture people never showed - so we tried to get a few of our own.

The cutest cowboys!

We were at the mall and went into a Texas shop and thought this hat would make for some great pictures! We still need the boots and belt to complete the image...maybe someday I will let them be Texans (just not ever Cowboy fans :))
