Merry Christmas to All

Well here it is, only 2 days away from Christmas. Where has this year gone?? It seems like it was yesterday that I was wishing Chris would hurry up and get here so I wouldn't have to be fat and miserable anymore and now is is almost 10 months old! He has reached SOOOO many milestones since the last time I have blogged! He just started doing EVERYTHING all at one time!! To begin with he is sprouting teeth left and right...LITERALLY! He just cut his 2 front upper teeth about 3 weeks ago and he cut his 3rd bottom tooth on the left side about 2 weeks ago. You can also tell that the gums are really swollen on his 3rd and 4th upper front teeth and on his lower 4th on the right side! I know these 3 will appear in the next few weeks! With these new teeth he is eating more and more solids. He is now eating Cheerios, cheese toast, cheese slices, Gerber puffs, and Cheetos Puffs. He got his first ear infection last Friday the 12th. It made him really sick! He was lethargic, not eating, and sleeping most of the day. I took him in and sure enough his right ear was really full of fluid and infected. He got his first round of Amoxocillin which seemed to knock it out! The last few days he has been battling the tummy bug. He has had diarrhea and threw up last night. He hasn't been eating much at all. Today I changed him at 7:45 am and then again at 6:00pm and he was barely wet! He has drank about 14 ounces today of Soy formula. I decided to try it to see if he would drink more of it. He seems to really like the soy?? YUCK IT STINKS!! But hey whatever gets him to drink! I am going to go get him some Pedialite if he doesn't have a significant wet diaper in the next hour or so.
Chris has also started pulling himself up onto his knees while holding onto an object. He started this about 2 weeks ago. This week he has also started to pull himself to STANDING in his bed! I had to lower the mattress in his crib today to avoid any head first fall outs! haha LOL I am so not ready for this walking business! HA He is also learning cause and effect. He will softly bump his head on the wall and then look at me for a response. When I say "OUCH" he will smile and do it again. He also does this in the bathtub by bumping his head on the silver drain facing and by kicking the wall to make it thump really loud! It makes me laugh!!
For Christmas he is getting a new big boy car seat, a shopping cart cover, a walking toy, and other misc. little toys! HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS!
