I had to take B in today for the rest of his 6 month shots, and to have his cough checked out. He has been "coughing" for the past two weeks, and to me it just sounded like a new noise he liked to make (his repertoire of sounds is quickly increasing...squeals, grunts, screams, pttt noises with his tongue, and now coughs). After talking with the nurse when B was sick, she said to bring him in if he keeps the coughing up another week.
Good news though, the doctor checked him out and he is fine - doctor guesses Bennett has just learned to clear his throat and that is why he is making a coughing noise (would make sense since he has reflux).
While the doc was checking B out, B grabbed my finger and shoved it in his mouth, and what do I feel??? A tooth!! His first tooth (his bottom left) broke the surface today, as I checked this morning and there was no tooth. Already he seems so much older, that he can even have teeth. He is handling it nicely though, and besides waking up twice during the night on Friday (just went and gave him his paci both times and he went immediately back to sleep) he hasnt really exibited any symptoms! (not so sure if that whole fever and upset tummy thing is related to this??? or just coincidental??)
And another interesting chunk of news from yesterday (pun intended): Bennett weighs 18lbs 6oz!!! he was 16lbs 14oz 2 weeks ago!!! how in the heck did he do that? gain 1.5 lbs in 2 weeks, even when he lost his appetite for three days. mr chunky is expanding, and i think its all in his cheeks!
In my big boy jammies from Old Navy
YAY on the tooth! Love the jammies! LOVE the boy! Mimi
ReplyDeletecute B...teeth do make them look older! He'd better stop gaining weight that fast or he is going to out grow the jackster in no time!
ReplyDeletehe's getting so old. look at those cheeks! they're like a hamster
ReplyDeletecongrats on your TEEF B! and those jammies will go great at the camp too! that hunter green color i bet his daddy loves!
ReplyDeletei bet bennett is guilty of fake coughing!!! david does this ALL the time. it seems like an attention thing. he even did it in the doctor's office and our pediatrician called him out on fake coughing! just a thought.
ReplyDeletehe is precious and getting so old!!
WOW!! Can't believe he is getting TEETH!! He is starting to look more and more like you!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Sipsey fake coughs too! We fake cough right along with her and she thinks it's so funny. What characters these kids are. Sipsey got another "cold" shortly after tooth #1 came and then came tooth #2. I'm telling you that's what was wrong with Bennett! Congrats on the first tooth!
ReplyDeleteI am just so happy about teeth these days! Simms FINALLY cut her first one! At 9 months mind you! Yay for Bennett too! He is so adorably cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pjs! yep, that fever and tummy trouble is most likely from that new tooth! the fake coughing thing is hysterical
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute. I haven't been good about checking blogs lately. I can't believe how much he's changed since I last saw a pic. So adorable! And we have those same jammies.
