Still fighting the sickness

That's right, Kellan is still fighting RSV. He's a wheezer and a cougher. He might end up having allergies or astma (spelling). He's in really good spirits, just doesn't' sound great.

He had his 6 month check up about 2 weeks ago .He was 19lbs 1 oz and 27 in long. He can officially sit up on his own. He is grabbing at everything (including earrings, noses, necklaces, hair...)

Here are some of the latest pictures of Kellan.

Kelln and his Wife

Once a month we get together with my friend and her husband and daughter. She will be 1 in April so she's about 5 months older than Kellan, but that doesn't stop us from saying they will be married later on in life. Here they are finally starting to socialize.

Quite the scare

Mid last week Kellan started getting this deep cough and wheezy breathing. At first I thought it was just a cold, but then it got worse. We decided to take him into the walk in clinic because his pediatrician had no open appointments. Turns out he tested positive for RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). What's the treatment....NOTHING! We were told it had to run it's course...WRONG! Three days later we ended back in the walk in clinic because he sounds worse. They took chest x-rays to test for pneumonia - Negative. So they hooked him up to an oxygen machine and it was way low. Poor guys airway was getting blocked (as if their airways aren't small enough). The Dr. comes in and says he needs to be admitted to the hospital. I of course start balling. No time to go home, go straight to the hospital.

We get to the hospital and are transported to the pediatrics floor by wheelchair. Immediately a million questions come my way by multiple nurses. Kellan is stripped down and hooked up to an oxygen machine. Well to end this story, he needed to stay in the hospital two nights. He got sent home with a nebulizer oh and he has his 3rd ear infection. He's doing better, but still has that deep nasty cough.

Here are some pictures of my little guy in the hospital.

Where has the time gone?

So much has happened this month. Some good, some bad.

Last week Kellan had his 4 month appointment. He is weighing in at a whopping 16 lbs 12 oz. He's a little over 25 inches too. All went well at that appointment.

Then about a week later, we were back at the doctors office to find out that Kellan had his first ear infection. I knew something was up when he cried throughout most of the night and he had a fever. I actually had to take him out of daycare because of his fever. He's doing much better now.

From this picture you can see that his bib is soaking wet because he has now started teething. There is one tooth coming in on the bottom, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him yet...keeping our fingers crossed.

He's loving solid foods now. He's tried sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes (makes lots of stinky diapers) and green beans. So far he's enjoyed all of them.

Here are some other random pictures of our little man.

One year ago...

One year ago we found out we were having a baby.

One year ago I was never so excited and scared at the same time.

One year ago I had so many questions that needed to be answered.

One year I knew our lives would never be the same.

We also started Kellan on rice cereal. Day one was very unsuccessful and day two was even worse. However, day three (today) he finished his entire bowl of cereal. The difference was, I took him from his Bumbo to his bouncy chair.

He has his 4th month appt Jan 14 and I'm very curious to know what he weighs. Those cheeks of his sure are looking full :)
