Deren...what a big boy!

So, this has been a month of firsts for Deren....



Had his first ear infection treated with his first antibiotic (amoxicillin...yum). His pediatrician also decided that the 10 weeks of congestion might actually be reflux. He started ranitidine and albuterol breathing treatments...oh what a difference. (that's when he started sleeping through the night - 7.5 to 8 hours!) He discovered that he likes to sleep on his tummy (and will flip over even in his sleep). He tried cereal and strained foods. So far, we've worked through squash, carrots, sweet potatoes (see picture below - loves, loves, loves the sweet potatoes!!!!), green peas, pears and bananas. He developed an ear infection in the other ear and was treated with a stronger antibiotic (cefdinir...not so yum). On the 22nd, he began "reaching" for people. He can hold his own bottle. And he can roll or "inchworm" himself anywhere on the floor... Time is flying by for our little man. And he is the biggest flirt!!! (ccf)

Deren's 4 month check up

Deren had his 4 month check up today. He weighs 14 pounds even and is 25" long. He has mastered rolling from tummy to back and back to tummy. He is also "inchworming" his way across the floor! He prefers to sleep on his tummy and will roll over in his sleep to this position. He has slept 8 hours each night for the last 3 nights... (yea!!!) (ccf)

Looks like an angel...


This is my favorite photo to date. Doesn't he look like an angel? You can get lost in those big brown eyes....

More Devin news

This was a big week for Devin. Not only was it her birthday, but she also took 3rd place in her school for her Stranger Danger poster. She received a ribbon, a gift card to Oscar's and one to Chili's. The poster will be moved on for secondary judging at the Admin building. Congrats to our little artist! (ccf)

Devin turns 8


Devin turned 8 on Sunday. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday she was learning to crawl. And she's not like any other 8 year old I know. Did she want to go to Chuck E's for her birthday? Nope. She chose to celebrate at Brio's in South Lake. And then we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dessert. She raked in the gifts, too. Her "big" gift was a Nintendo DS and some games. She also got some money, clothes, makeup and DVD's. Overall, a really good day. (ccf)
