Our "Ian Bug" turned 9 months on April 5th. Can you believe it? He is an absolute delight, and the apple of his big brother's eye. He is on the move these days - usually trying to follow Mason throughout the house. He especially likes to follow Mason into the bathroom - I think he likes the cool tile floor. He loves to hear his own voice, and we've called it channeling his inner Fonzie because he'll just say, "Ey! Ey!" He's starting to pull up on stuff, and he will laugh hysterically when he can do it, but when he can't he gets so frustrated. The kiddo still doesn't have any teeth. He currently weighs 18 lbs. 3 oz. (25th percentile) and measured 29.5 inches (90th percentile). I expressed some concern about him being so thin, and the doctor stated that he has been consistently "slender" so he isn't overly concerned about it. He is still nursing, and I've began giving him one formula bottle a day. He also eats his solids three times a day with a snack (puffs) in the afternoon.
He and Mason have both been battling colds/allergies since early March. The week before his scheduled well baby appointment he developed a really nasty cough with wheezing so I called got him in early, and he was diagnosed with upper respiratory issues and I had to begin administering breathing treatments. The doc couldn't say for sure if it was allergy related or a virus because Mason also had a URI at this time and I had to give him a prescription antihistamine. Neither of them was doing much better the following week (in fact, Mason was worse) so I got the doc to examine Mason too at Ian's appointment. Both boys were diagnosed with ear infections, and prescribed different antibiotics. Plus, Mason had to begin breathing treatments. We're still on the antibiotics but they're both doing much better! They go back next week for a follow up.
