We have a grunter...

Those of you who have met Nolan know this to be true, but for those of you who haven't let me fill you in, Nolan is quite a grunter. He grunts for normal baby reasons, like gas and pooping (and he seems to have lots of this, I attribute that to him being a boy, since nothing I eat or any drops I give him seem to make a bit of difference), he grunts to communicate, like "I'm hungry" or "change me, please", and sometimes he seems to grunt for no reason at all (Nurse friends don't fret, he is NOT in respiratory distress, it's not that kind of grunt, it's very purposeful). At first this made me nervous and since he does this all day and all night, it made me lose lots of sleep, because for every grunt I would be wide awake studying/assessing him! After talking with the pediatrician (who seems to think he will simply stop doing it after a few months), we decided he never looks uncomfortable or even unhappy when he grunts, thus he is probably totally fine and that Momma was just going to have to get used to it ;) I am happy to report I have gotten used to it and sleep is soooo much easier now at night! I know what grunts mean what and somehow my body wakes up for only the important ones! Hopefully our very "talkative" boy will continue to communicate well through adulthood, it's very important for the President of the United States to be able to speak well!! (Ha!)
