Your first Thanksgiving will be this Thursday...I am super excited for the holidays this year. Your daddy has been working hard on putting up all the Christmas lights; we know that you are going to be in awe of all the bright colors and everything that Christmas brings with it. I am kind of worried what you will do to our Christmas tree though... :)
As I explained in the last post...you were on Amoxicillin for the double ear infection you were diagnosed with. You had completed six days worth and we came home Friday evening after daycare and you had a few spots on your face and under your chin. Within a few hours your poor little body was COVERED! It was horrible looking. We immediately gave you Benadryl and called into the Ask A Nurse - they directed us to take you to the Express Care so we did. The doctor there explained that some kids break out in a rash just because of the Amoxicillin; he wasn't sure if that were the case or if this was an actual allergic reaction the medicine. He directed us to stop it immediately and prescribed you Prednisone (steroids) to clear up the reaction. Let me tell you something...Prednisone is not the ideal drug for babies you want to sleep. It has made you so incredibly hyper! You will be so tired and just crying because you are exhausted but your poor little body will just not slow down. Today was your 4th dose of steroids and the spots still have not cleared up; Lance took you back to the pediatrician to have you looked at. Dr. Parr thinks that it is the virus itself that was allergic to the Amoxicillin and until the mini-virus you have clears up...the spots willl not go away. Poor poor baby. You had your second Flu Shot and then he took you back to daycare!
Your auntie is having her third little girl the end of March! I am so excited for another little niece - your Uncle David says he feels so sorry for you though! :) (He was raised with two girls and no boys and he knows that you will be tortured by these three little blondies. Haha.) Kassidy keeps telling Rebecca how she already has a baby (you) and she doesn't want another one. Talk about love! Kendalyn and Kassidy just absolutely adore you!!! You just lose your little mind too when you see them...you try your hardest to get to them and the smile on your face is priceless.
Mickey Mouse is your absolutely favorite thing in the whole world! You are completely and totally obsessed!!! We put that show on for you in the mornings and that allows us a few minutes to finish getting ready...you just sit so perfect and still and very intentely watch Mickey! We have bought you lots of Mickey stuff for Christmas... you are going to LOVE it!
You are doing a lot better with textured foods...FINALLY! You are understanding chewing and you ate a whole graham cracker the other day without a problem at all. I am excited to let you try some sweet potatoes and mashed vegetables from our Thanksgiving dinner! Maybe even a soft cookie! :) Really spoil ya! Milk is still your number one choice though...you are kind of wearing mama out. Ok, I'll be honest...you're EXHAUSTING me!! You want to eat it as soon as you see me and at least once or twice in the middle of the night. I really do not want to give you formula to hold you over through the night but the purple circles and bags under my eyes are telling me that I am in need of sleep. Your daddy tries his hardest to stay awake with me too so I know that he is tired as well.
You still torture the dogs, specifically Rocky, all the time. The poor guy can not even lay there without being jumped on, you pull his ears, you pat him over and over, and just can not keep your little hands off of him. He is super patient with you though! MaCoy is a lot faster than you so he usually gets away before you get to him...Rocky just tolerates it! haha. Poor doggies!
Love you Lathan!
