Our big guy turned 11 months on February 18th 2016. Time has really been flying by. He was really quite sick on his 11 month birthday. He had bronchiolitis - which is basically an inflammation of his lower airways. A not so funny story is that our doctor told us to take him to the ER on Tuesday evening (February 16th). She assumed we needed to be admitted. Luckily the doctor at the hospital determined he did not need to be admitted and sent us home after a 3.5 hour wait in the ER waiting room. Mom was not too happy with our pediatrician about that one. But, overall we are just glad Felix was ok.
- Felix is army crawling now. This started February 14th.
- I can tell he wants to say more words at this point..
- No new teeth
- Eating all finger foods
- Still as easy-going as ever
- Favorites are strawberries, bread, meat, cheese, raisins, crackers, etc. He eats just about anything.
- Since this really bad cold started he decided he was done nursing and hasn't looked back since. I tried to supply breastmilk for a few weeks but have since run out of the stash I had frozen so he's on whole milk (as of end of February) and seems to like it.
- We also stopped using bottles, although he really liked his bottles too! He's using avent sippy cups. They have a newer design that I like for the most part.
- He thinks he's a big boy when we stand him up to toys so he can play. Although, you can't leave him unattended yet. But, hoping to do it enough to build up his strength so he can walk holding our hands soon!
We are really enjoying seeing Felix's personality start to come to life. I am looking forward to getting to know him even more as he can begin to communicate with us more and more in the coming months/years. He is just the sweetest easy-going little guy and we couldn't have asked for more. So grateful to have little Felix Dillon as our son and as a part of our family.
