Clogged Tear Duct

Two months old today...and what an entrance into his third month of life. Last night I put him to bed at 10 PM. He woke up this morning at 8:30 AM. Can you believe it? Ten whole hours straight. WOW! I was in heaven. He has been getting pretty good this past week at sleeping 6 or so hours straight at night, which I was loving, and then 7 hours a couple nights ago, and then last night's amazement. Now we are just hoping this is the beginning of a night pattern, not just because of a sleepy day yesterday. He has been making all sorts of noises lately. Sometimes he seems like he is so close to laughing, but it never gets all the way there. He has a clogged tear duct which makes his eye all goopy. He had it when he was first born and then it went away after about a week. He was fairly clear when I took him to his two week appointment, but then it came right back. The doctor said that it is normal for babies to have that and sometimes it takes a good several months to clear up. So I'm glad to hear that it is nothing serious, but I do feel bad for little Ben. Every morning he wakes up with his eyes glued shut until I clean them with water. Hopefully it won't take too long for it to clear up. He is the sweetest little boy who seems to be getting cuter by the day. Oh, and he is growing like crazy these days. I went through his clothes and had to put away a bunch of the 0-3 month size because he is outgrowing them. I guess that is a boy for ya.
