That is one healthy little love chunk of a baby.
We met with the cardiologist at the Lowel extension of the Arkansas Children's Hospital. Soren's weight, height, color, physical development, social development, and blood pressure all indicate that his heart is working the way it should and that we currently have nothing to worry about. Soren had an EKG and his heart sounds great! No murmur was detected, so the next step is an echocardiogram in 6 months to see if the ASD has closed yet. Soren was a perfect patient. We are very relieved and grateful for answered prayers and this wonderful blessing of good health. The cardiologist told us that he never sees heart babies thriving the way that Soren is that we should know that it is a very good sign to see that he is so fat and happy.
At 8 weeks old, Soren:
-smiles at everyone and melts hearts easily
-sleeps from 11pm-4 or 5am, eats, then goes back to sleep until 8
-ROLLS OVER (yes. what the too early?!) from his stomach to his back every time he is having tummy time.
-loves the soothie pacifier
-takes a bottle and gets down to business. He will finish 4 ounces in 5 minutes and he nurses almost as quickly. Little glutton.
-gets whatever he wants if he sucks in his upper lip and pouts when he cries.
-goes to sleep independently in his bassinet
-gets carried around everywhere by Reese and held a lot and played with by Quincy
-bats at the toys on his play mat and bouncy seat.
-has been given the nickname, "Pistachio" by Aaron's coworkers. "Stache" for short. The girls and I call him buddy or buster or baby guy or brother.
-spits up a lot, and is now taking zantac for acid reflux. It seems to be helping a bit.
-falls asleep every time he is put in his carseat. Angelic.
-is a really easy baby, making it even easier to want to sit and hold him all morning.
