We thought we were out of the clear as far as hospital visits and doctors visits but the weekend after we had to take Easton into the hospital for the flu, we had to make another trip. This time it was for me instead of him though. I had a freaking kidney stone. It was the worst thing ever. I would have rather gone through labor again before having one of those. It was like a constant contraction with no breaks that kept getting worse. They gave me some drugs and it was pure heaven once they kicked in.
As far as Easton, he is so active! He never stops. Ever. I love that he is independent and always wanting to do something. I guess he gets that from his mom and dad. Here are some fun facts about my little boy:
-He will walk along the edge of the coaches or coffee table.
-He has stood up without holding onto something for a couple of seconds but he is kind of a chicken and he will sit back down or reach out to grab onto something. I don't think he will be walking by his first birthday.
-He has developed quite the appetite lately. We went to Evanston over Easter and he amazed everyone with how much he ate at every meal. He even ate an entire taco the other night, salsa and all.
-He finally figured out how to drink out of something. Eric and I were gone so Papa John gave him some juice in his sippy cup and he slurped it down. He can also drink out of a straw now!
-We are down to nursing only twice a day. Once in the morning and once right before bed. It has been hard on both of us. When he gets fussy he wants to nurse and when I don't let him nurse then he gets even more upset. It has been hard on me because I love that bonding time with him. I am going to be so sad when we are done for good!
-We haven't had another check up since his 9 month one but according to our scale, he is a little over 18 pounds. I hope he can gain a little more weight and grow a couple more inches before his next check up. He was so low on the percentile chart during his last check up!
-His fake coughing has gotten even more dramatic. When he coughs now we ask him if he is alright. He loves this so he will keep on coughing. I am afraid we are raising a hypochondriac....
-He is a holy terror at church. It isn't so bad when both Eric and I are there but when it is just me... Seriously he is a pain in the butt!
-He has figured out how to open cupboards and take everything out of them.
-He has NO fear. None. He loves being thrown up as high as he can go. He loves being hung upside down and swung all over the place. It kind of worries me that he isn't afraid of anything...
-Okay, he is afraid of one thing, wigs. If someone puts on a wig he will go as stiff as a board, stop breathing for a second, and then just start screaming and shaking. It is sad!
-He will walk but only if he has a hold of both of your hands. If you let go of one of his hands he will stop walking and fall down.
I love this little boy. More than he will ever know. He is helping me become a better person every day. He shows me what life is all about. Even when I am stressed out or upset, he makes everything right. I am going to enjoy every minute of this last month of him being zero!
