Our baby is now 3 months 1 week and 1 day old today. He is already 14 Lbs (as of last Wednesday). He has been going to daycare, as i had to go back to work and the poor little guy is already sick. He has been coughing and wheezing and sounds terrible. We went to the Dr on Wednesday Feb 17th and was told to have him go to the hospital to get "suctioned" out. This entails the nurse sticking about 3 inches of tube up each of his nostrils and pushing a "button" that sucks all of the snot out of his sinus's. Pretty heart wrenching. He just sits and screams and acts like he is going to die while she does this. I was told if he doesn't get any better by the next Wednesday February 24th to take him back to the doctor for another exam. --He wasn't any better in fact he sounded worse, so we took him to the Dr again and the Dr had me do breathing treatments on him. We are still doing them and he is sounding a lot better -- but his nasty cough is still there occasionally. I keep making myself feel so bad that i have to work; and put him through all of this misery. We did this with Kaedynn (sent her to daycare) -- but not until she was 9 months old, so it didn't seem quite so bad.
He has been being a lot better baby. I started mixing his breast milk with formula on February 17th -- and he is a 300% different baby. He sleeps all the time and waits more then 3 hours to eat everytime. He is seriously so much better. I decided that it was time to get him moved to formula. He has been doing so good on it, he doesn't spit up, or have gas, or anything. Makes me feel really stupid for not trying it before now :)
We did his blessing on Feb 21st (his 3 month birthday) it was really good. My wonderful Brother in Law Cory blessed him and we had dinner at our house afterwards. I really love my family and am so thankful that they are all so wonderful and caring and supportive of us. It makes me feel so good.
My mother-in-law took some pictures of Remz on his blessing day. I will post his pictures as soon as i get them from her.

Holy Moly! 3 months already! I am so glad he took formula for you. Jax would not ever take it, and sometimes it makes it easier I think. Sorry about the daycare. Hopefully his immune system will get stronger and you guys will have an easy summer.
