We discovered that Sean has acid reflux last week but it seems to be much better already. After he was a few weeks old I noticed he wasn't sleeping much, was getting very fussy at times, as if he was in pain, and he was spitting up an awful lot. So a trip to the dr also showed that he actually had a mild ear infection from the reflux. I am still breastfeeding but supplementing with formula and rice cereal once a day. The cereal keeps the formula down, and occasional Mylanta helps with the reflux and pain as well. I also stopped eating wheat, which is a very common allergic food, and all of this has made a tremendous difference! He sleeps a little better and is just overall much happier all day long! He has been cooing and making sweet baby noises a lot for the past couple weeks. It is getting more fun every day and Little Robert really enjoys being around him :)

Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks. Sean gave us his first real smile on April 18th (4 wks) and is becoming more and more "awake" every day and interacting with us. His smiles are so cute :) I still haven't been able to capture one on camera yet (just the wide open mouth ones). We went to the fair a week ago and he slept the whole time, and Robert went on his first ferris wheel ride with Daddy! Sean weighed in at 12lbs 2oz a few days ago, so he's growing very well - but not quite like Robert did (Robert was mostly on formula from the beginning). Sean is definitely a big boy, just a little trimmer and not so many rolls!!
