Week 31

My sweet little man has been sick. Last Thursday he woke up with 101.5 degree temp and we took him in only to find out the poor little guy had strep throat! He's only 6 1/2 months old and has strep!! What a bummer. So we've got him on antibiotics and he LOVES them. Well, he loves the bubble gum flavoring of it...

He's enjoying so many different foods as we introduce new ones into his life. His favorites are veggies but he likes some fruits- pears and bananas mostly. He's on a good solid schedule and adores his daddy.

He sat up but refuses to do so anymore. I will sit him up and this is how he ends up...

That little booger will sit there for a few seconds and then push back. He has no desire to sit. He does like to push himself up though. When he's on his tummy he'll straighten his arms and push himself backwards... He'll probably crawl before he sits.

I like this one~ I think he'll be a hero...

That's my man~ a hulk to be.

What can I say? He's growing so fast. As of Thursday, he was 16 pounds. He is interacting with other little ones. One of the daycare kids (2 years old) had him laughing so hard the other day. Xander has the best, most amazing giggle/laugh. He's such a doll. We just gave him his 2nd haircut and boy did he scream (like a girl). WOW!! So, when Scott took him to the doctor they used a straw thingy to suck the snot from his nose, scrapped his throat, and pricked his heal~ his reaction~ a little wimper. Scott cuts his hair and you'd think we were cutting his fingers off! So much screaming over something that feels no pain. And dang, that little boy has a scream like a banshee. I thought we'd lose our hearing!

Today I noticed that he has four big bumps in his upper gums. Once he finally let me see inside his mouth I noticed two white spots where teeth were coming in. I think he's getting four new teeth. Scott disagrees and says just two. We will soon find out!

What can I say? He's a heartbreaker (and eardrums).
