Dylan Henry Jones - Week 13

Thursday - 24May12
Bloody hell! He's three months old and weighs very nearly 9 pounds!  He's also learnt an important Jones trait: grouchiness.  But today he went for his first run.  Well I ran and he didn't scream although I almost did on the fourth hill climb.  But mostly when he's decided he's unhappy you certainly get to know about it and the simple sleep-eat-nappy routine isn't quite so simple anymore.  Now while the screaming is undoubtedly doing wonderful things for his lung growth - and certainly if you heard him at full bore you'd doubt whether he had a lung condition - it's using up valuable calories!

He's been taken off one of his three medicines - ranitidine - which is one of the anti-reflux drugs.  This is mostly because he really disliked it.  Trying to get medicine from a syringe into the mouth of a screaming baby should really have been one of Heracles' trials.  It will be replaced with a similar antacid drug.


Waiting for the flame...
Other than that we walked into Taunton to watch the Olympic Torch and he was mostly very good throughout by sleeping rather than screaming!
