we got tubes

I have been trying to publish this post for 2 weeks now and every time it messes up and it won't post. So two weeks ago we went to the doctor for the 100th time to have a re-check on John's ears and low and behold they still had fluid and were still red. The infection was minor but since he was going on 2 months of straight ear infections it was time for tubes!!!!! So Monday we had an appointment with Dr. Thornton and he said yes to tubes and we scheduled them for that Wednesday! We had to get to the surgery center at 630 and I fully expected a screaming baby b/c he could not eat past midnight and I fully intended on getting up at 1130 to nurse him and I set my alarm for am not pm! However, I was surprised he did not fuss at all!!! I love my child he is such an angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well here are some pictures from the hospital.

How sweet is this angel!
He LOVED the paper bedding... all he wanted to do was rip it up and eat it!! I could not take it away from him fast enough!
He left the room around 750 and was back in my arms at 805! Here he is limp from the gas! They warned me he would probably wake up screaming crying but he did not... once again making me so very proud!!! He woke up moaning and grunting like he always does when he is tired and trying to fight sleep. So I gave him a bottle and he downed it in record time!

Since this post is really 2 weeks old I will go ahead on the update... I wish I could say I love the tubes and hopefully soon I will. However, we went to the doctor on Wednesday for a follow-up and he had yet another ear infection.... The only good thing is his ears are draining so the infection is stagnant in his ear. Hopefully it gets better soon b/c these ear infections are wearing on me... he won't nap at all! I am thankful that all he has are ear infections and I am aware that it could be a lot worse! But I just want him to feel better!!! Hopefully I will have an update soon!

This baby is THIR-STY !!!

So the other day we were giving John a bath and we leave the water running a lot because he likes to play with the water. And then he realized something WAY cooler than playing with the water...




Is that not hilarious. I could watch that video over and over!

7 MONTHS OLD!!!!!!

I can not believe John is 7 months old already... I wish my pregnancy would have gone by this fast!!! :) He is changing everyday and we are just enjoying every single minute!!!

What are you doing now:

You are sitting up so well now!

You LOVE LOVE LOVE bath time more and more everyday!



You love when daddy puts you on his shoulders!

You LOVE to google! (and David wonders what is wrong with his computer????)



You chew on EVERYTHING!!!

You are reaching for things so well. If you want it and it is within arms reach you will grab it and it will most likely end up in your mouth!



You get so excited. It is so cute! You are such a hyper baby!

You have 2 teeth now!!!

You LOVE to cuddle, you've always been a cuddler but the older you get the more you love to cuddle (sorry don't have a picture I keep meaning to get one). You are such a snuggler and love to nestle especially at night!

We love you so much! You are the joy in our lives!!!

Happy Half Birthday to you!!!!

I can not believe John is 6 months old (yesterday)!!! Time really has flown by! He is growing up to fast! So what are we doing now pants man???

You are about 13lbs 7 oz (still small... he was not eating as well b/c he had an ear infection in both ears :( but we are getting better now)

you are 25 inches

We had our first high fever of 102 and scared mommy and daddy but after some tylenol it went away!!! And the next morning we went to the doctor and could not figure out what was wrong. We had our blood taken and DID not cry. My little Hercules!!!

You are REALLY hyper (just like mommy!!!)... It's adorable now but I think in a year I maybe pulling out all my hair!

We have our first tooth!!! and yes I have been bitten a few times!



We are almost sitting up on our own. We can sit for a little bit then tump over!



We LOVE our feet. He tries with all his might to get them in his mouth! It is hilarious



We are grabbing things left and right. If it is within reach better believe he'll get it and it will end up in his mouth!

We are also holding our arms out when you want someone... especially mommy!! :)

When we pick you up from daycare you get REALLY excited... that is one of the best feelings in the world!!!

When I come home from work or when I am gone for a few hours and I don't come right to you to hug and kiss you your feelings get really hurt and you start crying!!! It's really sweet that he misses me that much!!!

We are eating 2 bowls of cereal, 2 fruit, and 2 veggies A DAY plus mommy's milk :)!!! and now we just added meats and I just spent a fortune at toys r us on baby food. Earthland's Best has the best selection of food he is going t0 eat better than me with his chicken mango dinners, tender beef and spinach, bananas mangoes and raspberries... the list goes on... I think I was there for an hour trying to decide what to get him!!!

We LOVE bath time... and we are still so serious during bath time
And we are fake coughing!! I love it! Once you pick him up it miraculously goes away and then you put him down and there it is again. What a con artist he is turning in to!!! Here is a video





I am sure I am leaving a few things out. He is really growing up fast and is SO much fun to be around!! He is so interactive now and I cherish every single minute with him!!! He is such a blessing... I love him SO much!!!
