Feeling better

Wyatt is finally starting to feel better. He still has a runny nose/cough but that is subsiding. As I wrote in one of my previous blogs that Wyatt had gotten hand, foot and mouth disease. That is all cleared up now. Also Wyatt had gotten two ear infections and was put on amoxicillin. His temperature decided to spike again 10 days after that and when my mom took him back to the docotr it was found that the amox. hadn't cleared up the infections so he was put on azithromicin (or something like that). That seems to have worked as Wyatt is feeling much better. Also when babies have ear infections they don't like sucking very much and so Wyatt stopped breastfeeding (yes, I'm still doing that) for 12 days. Since I was not ready to stop I proceeded to pump that whole time and now Wyatt has taken over in that category again.

Anyway, in the meantime Wyatt has turned 9 months old. Nine months is one of those times when babies have a doctor's appt. but since Wyatt's doctor is in Chine until the first part of November we have to wait an extra couple weeks. From Wyatt's few trips to the doctor's through his illnesses though he was 19 lbs. 9 oz. so just shy of tripling his birth weight of 6 lbs. 9 oz.

On an exciting note Wyatt has begun a form of forward movement. It is kind of a semi-army crawl. Unfortunately the blog is not letting me post the video and cute pictures again so keep checking back and they will be up in the near future (hopefully).
