We've had one sick baby on our hands! We still can't believe it took him 15 months to get sick for the first time. It started last Wednesday after he had his doctor's appointment (maybe he picked up something there?) We had just strapped him in his highchair for dinner and he took one look at us and started throwing up! Thankfully it was an easy cleanup since he just leaned forward on the tray! But, that pretty much started a series during the next couple days of throwing up at least once during the day and then overnight in his crib. Let's just say lots of laundry was done =) He was absolutely pitiful though - wouldn't do anything but lay on our chest and was certainly more fussy and needy than normal. It's definitely taken him a couple days to get back to his usual self, but I think we're finally there. He's certainly not losing any sleep - he has been one tired boy! It's probably in part because of all his teeth popping through too! He officially has three that have cut through and are currently in the process of coming all the way down. What a trooper!
He had a fantastic check up at the doctor last week. I'm telling you what, those nurses swoon over Ethan every time he comes in. Even the receptionist remarked at how much he had grown since his one-year appointment! He likes all the nurses until they come in to give him his shots - ouch! He got his flu shot and one for measles and chicken pox as well. He officially weighed in at 19.2 lbs. which keeps him in the < 3% (where he's been since birth). But, he definitely hit a growth spurt and is now 32 1/4" which bumps him up to the 75-90%!! Dr. Newby thinks he will be tall and skinny =)
This is my last week at work since my babysitters will be taking their finals and heading home for Christmas break. I am so happy the last couple months have worked out with them and I know they look forward to visiting him next semester. We've got family Christmas #1 this weekend with Grandpa Joe, Uncle Jeffrey, Aunt Kristen, and cousins Jayden and Kaleb. Can't wait to kick off the Christmas celebrations!
