Birchell Family: Screamer

Our little Screamer is two months old today! He is getting to be so much fun, and we are figuring him out so he is getting easier. A few fact about Bronson at 2 months:
He goes to sleep between 9 and 10, sleeps until 3, eats, and sleeps until around7.
He eats every 3-4 hours.
He wears 3-6 month clothes.
He LOVES noise. Vacuum, radio fizz, running water, and loud shushing will settle him better than anything.
He relies on his reflux medicine, but he still spits A LOT!
He has the BEST smile ever!
He is very talkative.
He only likes to sleep with someone, but we are working on that.
He knows my voice, Jake's, and Bri's.
He is happiest in the mornings, and maddest in the evenings.
He is starting to like his cars seat!!!! YEA!!!!
He is adorable!

Poor Bear came down with a wicked case of strep last weekend. It was awful. She woke up Saturday morning throwing up. I thought it was just a small bug, and so I gave her medicine and made her a bed. She was good all morning, and acted normal. Around one she was super hot. I took her temp. and it was 102. Twenty minutes later 103.6, and ten minutes after that 105!!! She was super lethargic and sickly. I took Bronson to Julie's, called my mom, and took Bri to the doctor. We got right in, and they gave her more motrin and tylenol. Told me to strip her down, and tried to get her to eat popsicles. She wouldn't. They confirmed it was strep, and said we couldn't leave until her fever was gone. I let her go to sleep, and the medicine started working. Finally it was better and so the doctor came and recommended that we do the shots instead of 10 day antibiotic. He asked me to wake her up, and I recommended doing the shots first. So we did, and it was a heartbreaking way to wake up! She did well the rest of the day, and is back to normal now. That Bear Cub!

This is a common sight of Bronson while we watch Bri at swim lessons. Her swim teacher told me today that Bri is floating on her back and tummy all by herself! You go girl!
