Arg...Milo has two more ear infections. I took Milo back to the doctor this week because he wasn't acting like his normal happy self and my suspicions were confirmed...the ear infections are back. We are going to a specialists as soon as possible. We have been referred to Children's Hospital and the referral should go through by next week so I can call by Thursday. I think that tubes are in our future. Hopefully the near future so that Milo can start feeling better as soon as possible. Poor little guys hasn't gone longer than 5 days without an ear infection and off of antibiotics since February. On a happier note, Milo has spent his week playing with his favorite toy, a mylar balloon and working on his hand/eye coordination. He has started to reach for things. Yesterday Milo had his first serving of rice cereal. He has started to show a lot of interest in our food during dinner lately, so I figured it is time. Plus, I don't want him to wither away to nothing. :) He has to maintain his figure. He weighed in at 22lbs 3oz at the doctors this week.
I believe that we will always have to have mylar balloons around the house. He has enjoyed playing with them since he was 3 months. He can really grab them and they make fantastic noises.
Milo wasn't sure what he thought of his first big boy meal. Saturday night he was not terribly interested, but tonight he gobbled down his dinner. We only give him about a tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with breast milk around 5:30. I am going to give him a week to get use to the new textures and method of eating (ie spoon) associated with his new diet and then start to introduce more tasty food.
Milo took a bath in Nana's sink tonight. He thought the running water was pretty cool!
Milo is getting more and more active and his hand eye coordination is improving daily.
Oh my goodness, he is so adorably plump, Jane!
