38 weeks

*he has been laying his head down on rhe floor and us a lot. Hes never done that and as adorable as itbis, im worried. My brain immediately jumps to brain tumor or something. But hopefully it just means he is getting older and just rests when he needs to.
*he is not only pulling up but really reaching!! And he is using the pump bag as a step to reach farther on the couch.
*hes started crawling in the bath tub. Getting much steadier. He loves the bath. *he finally eats his puffs. Last week he finally put them in his mouth but they would slip out a lot. Now he full on chows down.
*hes started the ga ga sound
*he climbed on to the dishwasher and discovered toilet paper.
*the scrunched nose and snort is back haha
*hes taking steps with his walker toy. For a while hed only scoot on his kneew but hes finally back to standing up and walking
*he discovered buttons on clothes. He likes to pull at them.
*he will stand at the edge of the couch and put his head down and then we say Where's Dean? And he lifts his head up, smiling. Then he does it again. We never really taught him this-just the generic game of us hiding it putting a blanket over him. It's amazing how smart babies are.
*Monday I decided to call the dr office because he had been pulling in his ear again and sleeping got worse. I took him in and he had another ear infection in the same ear. The left one. Because he had taken amoxocillin (?) So recently they wanted to give him augmentin, which is basically amox...with something added. So the next day, he had the worst diaper rash I've ever seen. He has never really had much if any before. I was trying to feed him and he was just crying. This didn't seem right so I had the thought to change his diaper, even though there hasn't been much reinforcement for me in the past to change him to make him stop crying. I opened his diaper and it was so red! As I began to change it, as gently as I could, he was crying so hard and literally shaking. It was horrible. I slathered cream and it got a lot better the next day and wipl look almost gone at some points and then it will seem to come back, even though I slather it every single time. The first day there was even eome tiny blood dots! Meanwhile, as it's been getting better, there is still one spot that isnt. Its not rash though, its more of a spot of broken skin :( poor little guy. It hurt when I put him in the bath those first few days. Im thinking the meds have made his skin sensitive. The first day his forehead was all red from taking off his shirt. He has never had sensitive skin.
*this week, I made homemade biscuit/cookie/bars for him to practice chewing. They had pear, banana, water, his cereal and brown rice flour. They baked super hard but he sucks on them and he loves them. He will sit and gnaw on it forever.
*today (Saturday) we went to the temple for the first time since I got pregnant. It was sooo nice and I LOVED the new new movie. Im so grateful we could go and it's so close. KRs parents worked in the temple so we met them when they finished and they took Dean home with them. He cried a bit at first but apparently did pretty well. He was really happy when I snuck in. Once he saw me he started crying hard haha. He remembered he missed me.
