8 weeks old and such a big boy!

Chase had his 8 week appointment on Monday. He is 23 1/2 inches tall now, which puts him in the 70th percentile for height, weighs 12 lbs (5oth percentile), and has a small little head. He is in the 45th percentile for his head. Thank goodness his head was small, if it were any bigger labor may have been way more complicated! Anyway, as for what I found out about his incessant crying...just what I thought, he is colic. He is a perfectly healthy baby boy who screams. I remember reading baby books before he was born and praying not to have a colicky baby...well I got just what I didn't want! He also has food allergies, he has bumps all over his skin. So I changed his formula to one that is made just for babies with colic and food allergies. If his fussiness doesn't lessen in the next week, the doctor has a medicine for us to try. Of course, I want that medicine now! But we will see, he has been on this formula for 48 hours and it seems like he's not as fussy but I'm not getting my hopes up yet! Anyway, colic lasts until around 4-6 months. Hopefully I can last that long, or get that medicine. I don't know that I can take 8-16 more weeks of screaming. He does really well when we are out, he actually sleeps. He loves the car and getting pushed around in a cart or stroller. So I will just have to take an outing everyday so he gets his nap and I can have a break from crying or the house.
