Well hello there!!
This past week and a half seems to have flown bye for some reason. We haven't been doing much, just day to day things. First of all how did 8 months go bye so quickly? I still can't get over it, but it sure has been a blast! Eli keeps making us laugh and smile more and more each day. I never thought being a parent would be this fun. You just don't know until you have your very own!
On the development front Eli is right on track, doing all the things he should be along with a few extra's. He hasn't quite crawled to the point where we need to baby proof everything but we know that day is right around the corner. We are slowly starting to baby proof the house this next week. I wish I had some current stat's on Eli but that won't be until his 9 month appointment. I do know he weighs in at 18lbs. 2 ounces as of this morning at 1:30am. You might ask why do I know that?
Well... we had to take Eli to the ER because he was wheezing quite a bit.
(insert of Eli's "oh no" reaction...)
Well... we had to take Eli to the ER because he was wheezing quite a bit.
(insert of Eli's "oh no" reaction...)At first when I got home from work yesterday his breathing sounded really labored but he was in good spirits mostly. We decided to keep an eye on this, but that is just down right terrifying. We couldn't stop being worried about it and when I put Eli down to sleep at 7:30 his little chest kept going up and down allot when he breathed. We thought this could be asthma symptoms or a the start of a bad cold but we were not sure. By 11:30pm he hadn't improved much and we went to the ER with him. They put him on a nebulizer and it helped tremendously, we also came home with an inhaler. The doctor was not convinced this was allergies or asthma, he did think it was the start of a cold. In the end we did the right thing and when we got home we felt much more at ease and Eli could breathe so much better.
On a brighter note....last weekend we met up with my freshman year college roommate and her family. Good old Facebook reunited us. I haven't seen Melissa since we graduated college, life got busy for both of us I guess... Well I take that back - life got super busy for Melissa. After graduating college she got married right away and had 4 children with her husband! They range from 19 months old to 5 years old. Her kiddies are so cute and very well behaved, it was a fun play date. Eli felt like he was in daycare all over again at her house, he was mesmerized with all the kids and what they were doing. He just can't wait to be able to run around and play, you can just see it in his eyes.
So I promised a tooth picture last time I blogged. That stupid tooth has caused not only many sleepless nights but it doesn't like to be pictured! This is the best I could do. The closer I got to the dam tooth the picture got really blurry... All I know is that after all the discomfort Eli was in and the rough nights we had we only got one stupid tooth?? WTH!
Today we have one of my best friends engagement party this evening back home in Milford. It should be a fun time. Eli will be at my mom's house for the night and so will we after the party is over. This will be Eli's first sleepover at Grandma Neyda's house! I am sure my mom will love seeing Eli bright and early tomorrow morning :)
Here is a picture from bath time this week! I got Eli smiling at just the right time!
Have a great weekend!
