Sick again and ear tubes (18 1/2 months)

Since the last post a couple weeks ago, we have been to the ENT specialist and Christopher has gotten sick yet again.  The ENT visit went as expected.  She recommended that he have tubes put in so his ears will drain properly and to improve his hearing.  He showed mild hearing "loss" because of fluid that was still on his ears.  So we are scheduled for Tuesday, June 19th for surgery to put in the tubes.  I'm pretty nervous because it is surgery, however I've heard so many positive stories from friends that I'm positive we are making the right decision.  Hopefully all goes well.

He started coughing and having a runny nose and low grade fever over the weekend and today Reuben found him in bed covered in throw up.  I guess he got sick sometime overnight.  So I took him in and he's got a cold that looks like an ear infection is imminent.  She gave us some antibiotics to get him through until the surgery, then hopefully we won't have such a hard time with these simple little colds!

We have Audrey on Monday nights and Tuesdays since she's in summer dance classes.  It was fun to have her back for a day!  She cried the whole way back to her dad's house though :-(  She's having a hard time adjusting to the summer at daddy's.  Hopefully it will get better.  But today she texted me like a 100 times and sent lots of videos and pictures.  It's hard to see her so sad and upset.  She is doing really well in her dance technique classes though.

Been awhile

Totally haven't been posting on here at all in a long time :-(  So I'll do a quick run down since the 10 month mark...which was 8 months ago!!

Christopher has been sick several time since he turned 1 (not sick at all until this point!).  Starting in January until now (end of May) he's had 4 ear infections, several colds, pink eye and Croup.  We went in for his 18 month well visit today and she referred us to an ENT doctor.  He possibly will need tubes in his ears.  Reuben had bad ears as a kid and actually currently has a double ear infection as well.  We figured we'd get to this point sooner or later.

As far as the healthy stuff though, he is growing and developing well!  27 lb, 8 oz (50-75%); 32.25 long (50%); Head is 19.75 (95-97%) are his stats.  He's starting to level out.  He was getting to be a real chubbster with a giant head, but looks like he's starting to stretch and grow into his head size as well.

He's a musical boy for sure!  He sings constantly while he's playing, eating or just riding in the car.  He hums "Twinkle Twinkle", the "ABCs", and "Lullaby and Goodnight".  He doesn't have the words just yet, but can sing on pitch the tune, he just uses "la la la" for the words!  It's so stinkin cute :-)

He's got all of his baby teeth minus the last 4 molars, but I noticed one of those about to cut through last night.  He's started drooling like crazy again the last couple days.

That's all for now!
