So far, The King is responding fabulously to the pediatrician’s new drug regimen. He’s calmer, happier, and most importantly, SLEEPING!!!

Last night, he slept from ~10 pm until 3:45 am! And I slept from ~11 to 3:45. Then he went back to sleep around 4:30 and slept another 3 hours and 15 minutes. (He woke up briefly around 6 am, but he’d kicked all his covers off and was cold. After I wrapped him back up and tucked the blanket in on the side of the bassinet, he went right back to sleep.)

And he was in a great mood (at least for awhile) after he ate and went through 2 diaper changes:

Yes, those are mitts on his hands!!! He’s gotten over his aversion to having his hands covered — these don’t seem to bother him at all, and they keep him from scratching his face. I’m not sure how obvious it is from this picture, but his skin is 80-90% cleared up.

Further proof of his good mood? I took a 45 second movie (Download 100_0474.MOV
- warning, large file) of The King waving and cooing. The soundtrack is his crib mobile (which is being replaced by one with batteries, which will presumably play for more than 90 seconds without being restarted), and I’m the voice prompting him in the background.

Fruit & Veg Count, 3/21 & 22: Mixed veggies with dinner Tuesday & butternut squash yesterday, plus an organic gala apple for "lunch" around this time of the morning. Which I’m going to go have again now.
