9 Months

This little boy is growing up too fast. It's so much fun...but makes me sad at the same time. Each stage has been more and more fun so far. I know I've said this a thousand times, but he is the happiest, loving, fun baby. I'm trying to just enjoy every second I have with him.

These past couple months have been a little crazy. He has starting throwing up...not just spitting up. He coughs all the time and it started to turn into a gag and then a big throw up(like as much as I would throw up sometimes). It would happen once or twice a week and gradually got worse. He got to the point of throwing up once or twice a day. There have been a couple that were really scary and he stops breathing because he's dry heaving so hard. I didn't know what was wrong and we were in the middle of getting insurance, so I didn't want there to be something wrong and then not be able to get insurance(I know I"m stupid). He had a couple bad ones last Sunday, May. 30 that scared me. I weighed him on Monday and he hadn't gained any weight since his 6 month appointment. I called Tuesday morning and my mom took him to the Dr. on Wednesday for me because Devan and I were both working. The Dr. thinks it's just a severe case of reflux. He put him on a medicine and wants to see him back in 2 weeks to check his weight. 

Good news...he hasn't thrown up since May 30! We're just going to keep giving him this gross medicine as long as it takes. I hope he'll grow out of it quickly, but I can already tell he's starting to put some weight back on. I'm so happy to see him getting some chub again! 

Here are his stats from his appointment:

Weight:  18.5lbs - 22%

Height: 26 in - 47%

Head: (I don't remember the measurement) - 77%

(His head has gone from 6% to 77% in the last few months. ha)

Here are a few pictures from the last few days

{He thinks he's pretty cool when he lifts up a leg while he's sitting. It's always the left}

{This is what I walked into after his nap yesterday}

{He was so excited to see mommy...I love when he wakes up happy!}

Here are some things about Ty:

-We've gone back to feeding him just oatmeal and a few foods(trying to control his throwing up).

-He loves oatmeal so it's good.

-He hates anything to do with green vegetables and just screams if I even try the mixed veggies now.

-His first tooth was popped through the other day and now it's gone back down...it's playing tricks.

-He's saying "mama" but he doesn't say it for me, he just copies me when I say it to him.

-He loves kids...all of them.

-He LOVES popsicles. He bites off big chunks with his little gums.

-We're so glad we found something he can eat while we have ice cream. :(

-He loves to swim and splash

-LOVES to be outside...even in the oven we have out there lately.

-He thinks it's so funny to scare people or play peek-a-boo.

-He still wakes up for a binky usually at least once a night...any suggestions??

-He goes down for bed at 8-8:30 and sleeps until 8-8:30(minus the binky wake ups).

-He loves to ride in Sadie's front facing car seat...but isn't quite big enough for his own yet.

-He just learned last week how to sit himself up from laying down.

-He has crawled just a few crawls, but gets frustrated and falls...he'll be cruising around any day.

-I'm not sure if I'm ready for him to be cruising around yet. 

Ty, Mommy loves you SO SO much! Thanks for being the best little man I could ask for. You make my life so much fun. Please just start sleeping better so I don't have to worry about taking you to cheer camp with me. I will love you forever if you will. :)

Love, Mommy
