8 Week checkup

We took the boys on monday for their 8week developmental checkup. All looks good. They are putting on weight and growing well.

ETHAN
Weight at Birth - 3220g (7lb 1oz)
Weight at 8weeks - 5150g (11lb 6oz)
Weight gain so far - 1930g (4lb 4oz)
Lenght at Birth - 47cm
Lenght at 8weeks - 55cm
Issues: Ethan likes to turn his head to the right more than the left. We have to encourage him to look the other way and give him more tummy time.

BENJAMIN
Weight at Birth - 2690g (5lb 15oz)
Weight at 8weeks - 4550g (10lb)
Weight gain so far - 1860g (4lb 2oz)
Lenght at Birth - 48cm
Lenght at 8weeks - 56cm
Issues: Benji still has excema on his cheeks and we do not know what's causing it. Some days it is very red, raw and angry looking and other days you can hardly see it. It always feels rough, regardless of how red or not it is. We are going to try several different skin care options of creams and washes to see what works. We are also going to try eliminating various foods from Tracie's diet that affects her excema to see if that helps. If it does not get better soon we will take him to the doctor to see if we can get him allergy tested. Apparently they do not usually allergy test babies under one year, but there is a strong family history of allergies and one of Tracie's cousins's baby has severe allergies, and got tested earlier. We will wait and see.
