The past couple of weeks have been good as far as his health goes, but we are still doing his breathing treatments twice a day since it seems as though he gets sick as soon as we reduce them. The ladies at daycare are truly happy, as he gives them a run for their money every day :)
His daycare room has two cameras online where you can go and check in on him, and I love it. I check in on him multiple times a day, and it's nice just to peek in a see how he is doing. I am still very happy with his daycare, and I usually find him either sleeping or rolling all over the place surrounded by toys and his little buddies.
He will try to pull himself up on anything and everything he can find. He does not like to be on his back at all now, and has even begun sleeping on his side or stomach a good bit each night. He can now get himself up onto his hands and knees, but hasn't quite mastered the art of propelling himself forward yet. I just hope we have a little while longer before the crawling ensues, because we have a LOT of baby-proofing to do at the house!
He is starting to get much better at eating his foods, and
even loves to drink out of a sippy cup.
I thought in the beginning that he just wanted to chew on it, but now he
truly drinks out of it. I have only
given him water this far, because I don’t want to give him juice since it’s all
sugar anyway. But he will grab for his cup whenever it's offered to him, and they say he likes it at daycare too.
He still eats every 2.5-3 hours; this kid just loves to eat! We figured that introducing real food/cereal would extend this time span a little bit, but not yet. He goes to daycare with four 4-oz. bottles, and I even add oatmeal cereal to two of them. He then will eat two other times a day while at daycare (usually a vegetable/fruit + cereal), and then will eat vegetable/fruit + cereal when we get home before his bath and nighttime routine.
On the subject of longer periods of time in between meals, he still gets up at least once a night (usually twice). I am sure most of it is my fault, because I will nurse him to get him back to sleep, but whatever. We are still [mostly] functioning on all of the sleep we do get. My only concern is that when his little teeth do come in, I don't want him eating at night to refrain from cavaties. But, we will cross that bridge when we get there. I will say that we have hooked up his baby monitor and I love it; we have the monitor downstairs with us at night, and it has even allowed me to go outside with Anthony while he is grilling and we can still hear/see him just fine.
He is still in his 6-9 month clothing, and I think these will work out for a little while longer. I have heard that boys grow "out" then "up," and he seems to follow that trend. Right now he has the cutest buddha belly and chubby legs! Some of his shorts are a little "snug" around the waist, while some of his onesies still have plenty of length left in them. Now, if I could keep him from blowing his diaper out all the time and staining his clothes, we would be all set :)
