He went to the doctor on Monday, along with Little Monster. Little Monster had been having some food/digestion issues for about a week, and I was just nervous that something more serious was going on (it wasn't, she is teething and all symptoms point back to that as the culprit). The Baby went because he developed a runny nose and yucky cough over the weekend. After Tiny Dancer's hospitalization at 7 months over the croup, I tend to get nervous about any cough the kids get.
The Baby is also teething and probably just has a minor cold. Although he is acting better (not so whiny and not sleeping), he has a very runny nose and his cough is still enough to make me jump up several times throughout the night to check on him. Hopefully, this passes soon!
This adorable little guy (picture from my littlest sister's wedding April 13th) is weighing in at 15 pounds 10 ounces. He's starting to get chunky cheeks and even chunkier thighs. I love squishy, fat, baby thighs! He is sleeping through the night MOST nights, however, if he does wake, it's usually just once, he eats and then goes right back to sleep. He's still the easy going baby. He is seriously such a sweetie. He's rolling all over the living room. He doesn't seem like he's in too much of a hurry to get up on all fours or crawl, which mommy is just fine with! He's been eating real foods every day, bananas, then peas so far. Hoping to try avocados next week. The girls never liked them, so I'm hoping he will (I love them!).
He goes for his 6 month check-up with the pediatrician next Friday morning. His eczema is really flaring up on his face today (which I hope is not from the peas!) and he will sometimes whine and scratch at his face, so we have to keep it moisturized and use hydrocortisone. Those things can usually keep it at bay, so it isn't so bad. He is chewing on everything, so I hope he isn't a slow teether and those teeth come through fast. Have I mentioned I HATE teething?! I hope he teethes like Little Monster and not Tiny Dancer, as Little Monster was a much smooth teether. This teething business makes me happy this is our last. :)
