Well, we made it Jan, Matthew is officially 11 months old, walking a few steps before falling and crawling all over and is going to have his first surgery, tubes are being put in on Friday, Jan 19th.
So for the 11 Month stuff...I am so late, but what can I say, I seem to be behind since the new year and just super busy. He is weighing in at about 20 lbs...hard to say b/c the last few Doctor' appointments we have been dealing with throw-up or diarrhea so his weight has been fluctuating. So it has been around the 20 lbs mark so we are going to go with that. As for his clothes, I am slowly getting ride of the 9 month bodysuits b/c they are just a tad tight, but separates, especially the pants are still fitting. Now his sleepers have to be the 12 month size as those run small and tight so he is wearing all his christmas goodies right now. As for 12 month clothes, the body suits are fitting but of course most are short-sleeves so with the weather being in the 30-40s and nasty cold with winds that just bit through you, he is not wearing those short sleeve body suits. He has some really cute shirts that we are wearing with his 9 month cords and fleece pants, but 12 month pants are mostly too big in the waist and too long. But since the appetite is back the last few days, I expect we are due with a huge growth spurt.
As for what I have noticed, he is more interested in drinking my drinks, still not loving the sippy cup at home and we are in need of getting some different cups, any suggestions? the Nuby ones are not my current favorite, but not sure if playtex or something else is really good...so any suggestions would be great.
We are doing a better job of eating, but since he wants to put his fingers in the food, if it is not pick-up types of food it can be struggle to feed him, if he doesn't like what is on the spoon he is not easy to feed with it. Luckily, green peas and beans and yogurt are still favorites and if you mix some pear or apples into some of those other veggies he might eat it for a little while before he decides to fight with you.
So the ears, we went to see Dr. Lim, who I think Matt thought was Uncle Mo so he immediately went to him and was pretty ok with letting Dr.Lim check him out, so big Thanks to Uncle Mo for making Matthew Korean tolerant! So we have had ear infections non-stop since November and this last one was bad, with the stomach bug it was really miserable for a few days and this new antibiotic which was suppose to be super strong at day 6, so when the 5 doses were given and well into his system, the ears were no even close to cleared up so the Dr. wanted to schedule tubes as soon as possible and that was well this Friday. So wish us luck that he does ok and doesn't have one of those really small risks of being the kid that has a bad reaction to meds.
For MLK weekend, of course i have so much to do and with my trip to Greenville this afternoon to make my appointment tomorrow morning I just really needed to have this morning dedicated to working on my new on-line class with South University, grade my APU stuff and well, get this blog done, pictures uploaded (so not gonna happen) and you know that our internet stopped working last night (Sunday 15 JAN) and is still not working, it is super cold so either our crappy dish network stuff is frozen over or something is super wrong with our motorolla box...I hope it is a problem with the apartment complex equipment and maybe later today when it warms up it will be working again but I just didn't need this this morning, plus the 530 am wake-up from Matthew, so my patience is short, so add in it is a holiday and our apartment workers are lazy on a regular work day so I am sure no one will be working today or if they do, won't get our internet issue...ugh...Jay also needed to do some major work and studying today and of course this is just not helping...now how am I doing this update, well, I am at McDonalds...ugh...even ate the egg mcmuffin, it was so gross, can't believe I ate it but needed to justify being here for so bought that thing, which looked like the healthiest thing on the menu...and now I so regret it...want to go run, but it is just soooo cold.
So give me hopefully a few days and I will hopefully get those 11 month pictures posted, just might be a few days depending on if the apartment folks can help me figure out if our problem is their equipment or if I have to go get new stuff for us to figure out if it is our equipment.
ok, enough, I am getting worked up just typing this. To a happy MLK day to everyone, and hopefully a short week...more to come when hopefully this surgery on Friday goes well and we have a happy, ear infection free little boy.
