Oh so much..

Well, let's see if I can update real quick, Victor has had his 4th and 5th ear infections now, the last one (that he is still taking antibiotics for) was a double whammy. Both ears, booo! So now we have an official referral to the ENT doc and we see him next month on the 14th. I hope he won't sugget tubes right away, but at the same time I want my baby to feel better!


Prunes! Yummy!

He has new teeth too! He got his 2 top front ones in. So now he has 4. It was rough though, he was waking up every 45 minutes to an hour crying all night for a week, incredibly fussy during the day, wouldn't let me put him down, I mean, just a hot mess for a week. The one tooth had cut through the gum, but the other one was not quite there and his gum was all swollen and painful looking. I was such a mess and so sleep deprived (more than when he was a newborn!) I almost lost it a couple of times, lol. I was crying in the car one day when Darius Rucker "It won't be like this for long" came on the radio... haha! (it's funny now, but at the time, was definitley not...) When it finally cut through I actually got up and danced around the living room! He felt much better for about 2 days and then he got the nasty double ear infection... *sigh*


" Hey you! I see you!"

"I made a mess..."



"A big mess... but mommy still loves me!"


"I love teething bisuits, they're the best cause mommy lets me make a big ol mess!"




"I'm nakey!"



Look at those fat rolls! I love my chubby baby!
At his WBV last week he weighed 24lbs. Woo!



Playing in the pac n play for a minute before I got mad that I couldn't go anywhere.




He's feelling better now though! He's still on antibiotics for 2 more days, but he's feeling so much better it's incredible how much happier he is. He had a big day yesterday too! He clapped for the first time! So freaking cute :-) I got video! I thought he might crawl for me too, but he settled for grabbing his toy, lol. Ignore my annoying voice!





He also nursed in the living room! Normally he will only nurse if we're upstairs in the bedroom where it's nice and dark and quiet, but I've been offering downstairs more to try and get him used to the distractions. He finally did! About 3 times! It wasn't for very long, just a few minutes each time, but it's a big step in the right direction!


He ate almost a whole jar of bananas yesterday too! Normally we don't even go through one jar in 3 days, but he ate lots of them yesterday! Since the antibiotics give him diahhrea, I've been trying to feed him bananas and stuff that will stop him up a little bit.


He crawled! Usually he will get up on hands and knees and rock, and then fall on his tummy and just kind of squirm, but last night he was up and actually moved his knees and crawled a couple of steps! I'm not sure I'm ready for this extra mobility, but it's happening!


Whew! So big day for Vic yesterday.... oh my goodness... all these new milestones. My baby is getting soooo big!!!!

Oh Man! That does sound like a hot mess!! But what a cute hot mess the lil boy is!! He looks so much like you, to me!
I feel bad for complaining about Charlea's stuff... we've had no teeth fussiness and no ear infections! I need to toughen up!
I'll hope for the best with Vic's ears!!

Victor is too cute. I really hope that he starts feeling better and that they can stop all the ear infections. I am so sorry Heidi that has to be miserable. Plus update on how he is doing and how the ENT visit goes.
