My Little Love!

Hey little man! You are all over the house...chasing the dogs, following your daddy and me around, going from toy to toy, and wanting to put everything in your mouth - from our shoes, to electrical cords (which we OBVIOUSLY do not allow.) Basically from the time we get home until you finally stop and relax...You laugh, clap, and yell as you make your way around the house. Especially when you are chasing the dogs around the house! :) You love being able to move around! Yesterday, while we were making dinner, we had you in your walker. You were running around opening any drawers you could reach, running into our legs, and of course...chasing Rocky!

You have eight teeth!!! Holy cow! You are still teething too...when you chew on things you stick them to the very back of your mouth so I wonder if your molars are already coming in too! You have been amazing though through the teething process... You've been fussy a little bit, but for the most part, you've been wonderful!

You have had a cold the past few weeks...I HATE when you are not feeling well. Yesterday, your daddy took you back to the doctor and you have your first ear infection. They said the congestion had settled in your ear :( I knew it too! I knew there was something not right with my baby! We took you to the doctor twice last week but your ears were clear then; the dr told us yesterday that it probably just started but it definitely was red and inflamed. My poor poor baby. We have given you two doses of Amoxicillin and I really hope you start feeling better soon!! You wake up screaming...it's heart breaking!t

Your Auntie went to the doctor and the baby's heart beat was 150...she hopes that means BOY! We find out the end of October! :) She had Kassidy there for the appointment and she informed Rebecca that "The only way she could have a boy was if he had Lathan's face, Lathan's arms and legs, and was named Lathan." Ha! How cute!!!! Those girls sure love you! Kendalyn calls you Lath-Lath and Kassidy is always trying to find you toys and stuff to play with. In fact, her and Kendalyn got in a fight the other day at Ma and Poppy's because Kass kept stealing her toys to give to you instead! They are absolutely great with you!

Your daycare lady, Nancy, feeds you baby food for breakfast and lunch because she says you do not like to take a bottle....but at home you absolutely do not want baby food for dinner! You want milk. So we are still trying to get you to eat with me but we are not having much luck. We tried you on Gerber number three foods last night- spaghetti - and you hated it. You pretended like you were gagging, choking, you acted like you were going to puke! Haha. So we stopped. A little dramatic! :)

You are such a blessing Lathan! There is nothing that makes me happier than getting home from work and getting showered with Lathan kisses. You grab my face and just pull it over and kiss, kiss, kiss! I love every thing about you and I truly wish I could freeze time...you grow and change everyday! You're always learning something new and you amaze us more and more!
