43 weeks

*Hes added talking in to that gasping sound he makes, like nanana haha.
*He will crawl around while pushing things around, like the monitor or wipes.
*He started feeling better and doing better early this week. I could tell when the medicine started working. It seemed he had a day or two where his appetite went up as well haha
*Catherine and Brian, Lucas and Easton have been in town. We went over for family dinner sunday and have I've been going over all week. Mostly we just hang out. I was hoping dean and easton would interact more but not much haha. But they are so similar in size. Easton is slightly ahead in behavior and is freshly standing up. He is also a better eater.
*Thursday I was supposed to hang out with Katie so I already told Catherine we weren't coming over. Then Katie canceled cuz they were sick. That turned out to be a good thing. Around 11, I started to feel sick. My stomach was feeling weak. As the day progressed, it got worse. KR came home and took care of dean and made me soup and did everything. I was so grateful. Then when we went to bed (at 9!) I said he shouldn't kiss me and he said, I may already have it. What?! He never complains! Through the night, he threw up twice. And I got a little better but kept waking up when he would move, worried about him. It was such a tender mercy that Dean did well that night and when I did need to get up and feed him, my stomach would settle. By the next day we were both better but weak. KR stayed home from school.
*friday, Dean and I went to the zoo with Catherine, her boys, and Peggy. It was a beautiful day! I felt better and knew the walk and fresh air was why. I'm a firm believer that except when it's really extreme, exercise, even if just light exercise, is good for you.
*whenever Catherine would say night night to easton, dean would say ny ny. Hes never said it before.
*Hes discovered "under" and has started trying to crawl under stools and chairs. Our stools are tall enough but oddly enough, he started with a chair at KRs parents and he got stuck haha. He also lays flat on his stomach to get something out from under the couch.
*I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, and he's done it before but he's doing it more and even before we say anything. When we say no he says nanana. He will say it as he does something he isn't supposed to.
*Hes getting more confident walking while holding our fingers. When we first would do it, we had to pull him along. Now he will lead. And, he kicks the little ball, he had amazing foot work haha.
*speaking of footwork. At his dr appt, the dr was super surprised and impressed by his use of his feet. While trying to hold him down to check his ears, he was using his feet to push us away (not just kicking us away). I've always known he uses his feet a lot to do things. But I didn't know it was not common. So I've been paying attention. Then Catherine, without knowing about it, kept commenting on how much he uses his feet. Its adorable, hilarious and impressive.
*he learned from his cousin easton how to climb stairs! He did it once, I was right there and he kept whining because he couldn't get down, so he only had one option-go up a step. His predicament kept getting worse haha. So the next time I tried to show KR, he wouldn't do it.
*bumps bumps bumps!! Boy has his head gotten a beating this week-and im sure this is only the beginning. He tumbled off the first step the day before learning. He has a small marble bump on his eye brow :( he hit his other eye brow on the corner of his bookshelf by rhe rocker and it drew a little blood :( he just rolled over quickly tonight towards the wall and banged his forehead :( I feel like there are others but I can't remember.
