…and his name is Ty! LOL! Our little man cannot be stopped this week. He has so far opened two of my presents and Noah’s as well. He has gotten himself stuck underneath the coffee table and can throw himself BACKWARDS out of his bumpo chair. He is only rolling at this point but he is making every roll count…believe me!<\/p>\n
I laid him on my bed beside me this week and next thing I know he is pulling the stuffing out of a hole in my quilt…gobbs and gobbs of it. Yes I was right there…don’t ask me how I didn’t notice until he had a huge hand full!<\/p>\n
You know what though? I am so excited at his curious nature and if he is “trouble trouble trouble” I will count myself blessed. My grandfather always used to say “I’d far rather tell a kid “whoa!” than “GO!”. I am with my grandpa on that point. Kids that are on the go can be interesting to say the least as toddlers but I think it serves their future very well. Dad always say’s “You got little kids you got little problems. You got big kids you got big problems”. LOL. I am only laughing because I am in the “little problems” stage. Isn’t it truly a blessing though to see my little boy mischevious enough to unwrap my presents this Christmas, when I wasn’t convinced he would survive the year? Unwrap away baby boy! I’ll just wrap them again. I cherish watching you explore your world. I cherish that you are still in our world. I cherish you.<\/p>\n
Feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n Nope. He still isn’t eating solids. Jim told me to give up for 2 weeks to see if we can get him to forget about his apparent aversion because he just gets angrier and angrier when he see’s that cereal bottle in my hand. He shakes his head no, pushes it, gags if the nipple even touches his tongue, and will try to throw it if he gets his hands on it. We are going to take a pause on this. I just got word today that I have a speech therapist who can come to the house on Monday to help! Yeah!!!<\/p>\n Talking<\/strong><\/p>\n He is now saying “Baaa Baaa”, “Maaaa maaaa”, and “Daaaaa daaaa”. Do these words mean anything to him? Mostly……no:).<\/p>\n Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n I had another frustrating medication event this week and I am only sharing to vent. I have been trying to wean Ty off digestive drugs ESPECIALLY Reglan!!! Now that he is not eating, he has been choking and his tummy is sloshing again so I am having to reintroduce the drugs aaaaghhh! Anyhow, his GI specialist put him on Prevacid. Last week the pharmacy called me and said the GI specialist changed his prevacid to omeprazole. I knew nothing of this. I picked up the drug and they told me to give Ty 4 ml twice a day. That is a HUGE amount for what Ty has been on. The most of any one drug he has ever been on was 1 ml twice a day. I tasted it and the stuff is nastier than you can imagine. I called the pharmacy and told them I thought the dosage was wrong. They verified that the Dr. prescribed 2 ml twice a day but that was at a different strength (which they don’t think they can make…naturally), therefore, Ty has to take twice as much to get the dose he needs. Mommy said “no”. I told them they have to change the concentration AND flavor the medication and if they can’t, I will simply have to go to a pharmacy who can make the compound (I already have to do that for another drug Ty is on anyhow). We’ll see. In the meantime, I am giving Ty a half dose. Can you imagine making his formula incredibly bitter when we are already having a taste aversion issue? Sheeessshh! These are the things that drive me crazy.<\/p>\n Ty’s Size<\/strong><\/p>\n Weight (as of 12\/10) 18 pounds 3 ounces. Length: 31 inches<\/p>\n He can wear 12 month clothes but I am now buying 18 month because he is too long for many 12 month clothes (and he should be wearing 6 to 9 month clothes based on his corrected age). Crazy isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …and his name is Ty! LOL! Our little man cannot be stopped this week. He has so far opened two of my presents and Noah’s as well.
