David had his 6 month well child visit today and it was determined that he is not much of a well child!  He’s had a cold the last week or so and the doctor said his lungs didn’t sound great, a lot of wheezing, so we are now giving him albuterol breathing treatments every 4 hours or so.  Additionally, he has ear infections so we’re on antibiotics.  There was also a yeasty diaper rash we need to keep an eye on and possibly treat. 

And she found that he doesn’t just have 4 teeth, he has 5!  Another one has popped through on the top with the 6th one obviously close behind (very swollen). 

He got 4 shots and so in addition to his antibiotics, breathing treatments and Orajel for his teething we’re now giving him Tylenol for the shots. 

Pair all that with my new mastitis and antibiotics and we are all drugged up here!

Here’s his latest statistics though.

• Height:  27.25 inches (79%)
• Weigh:t 16 lbs 15.5 oz (41%)
• Head Circumference:  17.52” (72%)

He’s growing perfectly normal and we just hope we all feel better soon.

Can you believe that he’s 6 months already?  Since I haven’t blogged very much lately and haven’t shown many pictures it’s kinda hard to believe, but it’s true.  Today, on “leap day” is his 6 month birthday and we’ll do his check up and shots and hopefully I’ll remember to write in his baby book. 

So here’s what he’s into these days. 

He’s “almost” crawling but not quite sitting up by himself much. 

He LOVES his solid food and we feed him baby food twice a day.  He has 4 teeth but is still nursing like a champ.  He still does NOT sleep through the night but typically is a very happy baby.

Many people say he looks just like the other 3 boys, but many other people say that he has a look that is totally different from the other 3 boys.  I don’t know what I think, but I think he is amazing!

Until I find the time to update properly, here something to tide over the Grandparents. 

I’ll try to do better later.  Love you!
