I have no recent pictures to post of him (yes, I'm slacking, and he's been so sick!), but wanted to send Anthony good wishes for yesterday - 13 months old!
He had his follow-up visit Monday morning. He just happened to be running a slight fever again, high enough to not be able to go to daycare, and has a double ear infection. He lost 2 lbs. His cough is still really bad, but getting better. He's teething like crazy and most of Monday, we either cuddled or tried to play so that he was distracted. I had to stay home with him cause Jason was too sick to take care of him.
Yesterday he was doing better, so I gave him some Tylenol and we went to daycare. He started screaming as soon as I put him down, and that's what I heard all the way down the hall as I left. It's horrible. Going to daycare used to be a good thing! Now all he wants is mommy and it's such a hard way to start the day.
When I picked him up, though, he was super happy and they said he had a great day. So glad to hear!
He's officially weaned off the bottle now, too. It really only took about 2-3 weeks, and he's doing great with the sippy cup and 2% milk. Over the next month, we will start decreasing the amount he gets before bed, and replace it with warm water if he's too upset about not getting anything. We're introducing more foods, but he still doesn't like to feed himself if the food is anything different than the consistency of a cracker. He doesn't like to touch slimy or cold! Overall, he's doing well and growing fast!

Hope he feels better soon and Jason too. I used to hate leaving Ashley at pre-school because she would cry and it would stay with me all morning. I figured out later that once she really knew I was gone she would quit and play and be happy when we went to get her. They just love being with Mom but get busy and are okay. We are praying everything gets better.
happy to hear he's feeling better. aida told me about him going back to the E.R. how scary for the little guy. hope jason is feelin better too!
