Six Months and SICK

We had our six month appointment awhile back. Blake's stats:
Head: 19 inches
Height : 28 1/4 inches
Weight: 21.7 pounds

We were mostly concerned because we were on round two of an antibiotic for an ear infection. We were excited to find out at the appointment that the second round had taken care of it. We started him on fruits and are working on a sippy cup.

We went to the 6 month appointment on a Tuesday. On Friday Blake started to get a little cough. It got progressively worse until Sunday when he got a 102.9 fever. We took him to the doctor and found out that he had RSV which brought on bronchiolitis and a double ear infection! We had to do breathing treatments with him 3 times a day to help the RSV/Bronchiolitis and had a "baby z-pack" for the double ear infection. He really hated the breathing treatments at first but became such a little trooper as he got used to them. The antibiotics were really rough on him. They upset his stomach so much that he would throw up when he took them. It was a horrible week that then ended with him cutting another tooth! He couldn't catch a break! We were so blessed to have family around to help us get through it. He was really well taken care of. He stayed with Mia and Big Guy one day and then his Granny and Grandpa Bingham came and stayed with him the other 3 days while we had to work. He was cuddled back to health and is now doing much better. He went back to school after being out for over a week and was all smiles for his teachers. I think he missed them! However, I do think he loved having all the attention from his Granny and parents. So we don't exactly have any six month pictures of him. We wanted to wait until he was well. It will really be almost-seven-month pictures. Hopefully there will be more posts now that we are getting back healthy and happy!
