I’m not going to lie: Joshua had a really rough month seven. He went from my angel baby, to constantly fussy, not falling asleep for naps, refusing a bottle, waking at night, etc. “Teeth,” we kept saying. And we had those—three in fact (yes, in one month). But in the end, a doctor’s appointment last Monday revealed a double ear infection. Ugh. I suspect he had a touch of an infection all month. Within days of antibiotics, my happy boy is back. Well, almost. We’re still having some bottle issues. Throughout all this tribulation we did discover an interesting fact about little Joshy: he’s a stubborn little booger. He’s a picky eater. And perhaps he’s not as easy going as we initially suspected. But, we still love him just as much. Here’s what else our little boy was up to this month:
-Wrinkling his nose when smiling.
-Gave mama some slobbery kisses.
-Moving around a bit on his bottom, but not crawling yet. Can go to all fours, but doesn’t love being on his stomach.
-Has three teeth.
-Really doesn’t like taking a bottle, but prefers solids. Will eat sweet potatoes, apples, peaches, pears, but is hit and miss on carrots, peas and squash. Hates green beans and bananas.
-Loves being around his big brothers. Often fusses in the morning until they wake up.
-Speaking of morning, he’s a bit of an early riser (at least for our household) and gets up between 6 and 7. (or maybe, Joshua, just maybe, if you’d take a WHOLE bottle before bed, you wouldn’t wake up hungry that early…just a thought).
-Takes two naps of 1 to 2 hours. Still loves his head and nose tucked into something, be it the bumper or just smack flat into the mattress.
-Started using pincher fingers and touching things with just his pointer finger.
-Went from his tummy to sitting today.
This is Josh’s new favorite toy. Mostly because he loves to eat it.
These next pictures are Josh looks at Seth and laughing. Boy he loves his brothers!
Here’s Josh during his food ban due to the ear infections. We were at the point of bribing him with food at any possible moment with any technique. You want to eat standing up in the exersaucer, sure, why not. You will only take a bite if we give you a drink first, sure. Just eat child. Doesn’t he look pathetic?
What a funny sleeper this boy is:
Love you Joshua. Here’s to a better month 8!
