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)

Oh yay!!!! Such a big boy. Why does time fly by so fast? Our boys will be walking before we know it. Bless his little heart for having reflux - I know that's no fun but I know medicine is a God-send. Kevin hardly spits up at all anymore. Glad he's feeling better. We'll have to come visit him tomorrow morning.
