*Dean says duck! He will find it if we say where's the duck, and he will say it I'd we ask what it is. Even if it's been a while and not fresh in his mind. He says gok kok kok.
*he also does the gah sound when we say good job
*he's getting good at his high fives and will even give them to new people.
*he's starting to throw things. I think it started when we taught him to throw his pacifier in the crib. Now he can throw a ball, and less excitingly, food and other things. Haha.
*he's starting to try putting the shapes in the holes on his tool box toy. Not the right holes of course but he's still learning.
*he's also saying other vowel sounds with his consonants. Instead of just mah, he says may and mee. Sometimes it comes out between those two as meh.
*while he holds our fingers, he's walking smoother and stronger and really pulling ahead and taking the lead.
*when he gets excited, especially when he gets nakie for bathtime, he gets up on his knees and waves his arms and now is starting to walk on his knees haha.
*he's been a loooooot more adventurous with eating now and hardly spits out even new foods. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and gave him a slice and he loved it. We gave him ground turkey, chopped tomato, cracker, even pancake when we went out to breakfast.
*he's been having rough rough rough nights going on weeks now. He will take 1-2 hours to fall asleep, screaming, and wake up for 1-3 hours straight of screaming but won't nurse. The last few 2 nights I finally pumped. Last night I pumped both sides at the first screaming and when he woke up the second time, I didn't even try to nurse and gave him the little I had pumped earlier. He did better but it's hard to think how I'm going to do this without KR. It's been so nice having his full help. It will be hard when he has long hours and needs to sleep. And especially in 3 weeks when he has his night shifts. But we will get through it. I suddenly am looking at it as a small time in the grand scheme. So we will see how it goes.
Speaking of spring break, it's been so nice!!! Monday was our last day of good weather and it was the best yet! So we explored sauvie island and then laid in cathedral park. Tuesday the rain came back and so we stayed home most the day and then KR planned a date for us. Just the two of us!!! Second time in Oregon! So we brought dean to Ken and Peggy and we went out to eat. Then hung out a bit at their house when we picked dean up. Wednesday we went to the coast. Depoe bay and then Lincoln City for mo's. Then Tillamook!! On our way back we had to go around the highway we would normally take due to a landslide. We had to stop and let dean crawl in the back seat so he could stretch. Unfortunately, he didn't sleep the whole way home and he was crying the last part so I got in the backseat with him. We let him take a bath to stretch some more before bed.
Thursday we took him to the Dr to make sure his ears were OK. The right one was great (which was the last one that was infected) and his left still swollen with fluid trapped. He has another appt in may, if there is still fluid he goes to ent. The criteria for tubes is 6 ear infections in a year (he's had 3) or fluid for 3 months. He's almost there for that. But I'm torn. I don't want him to have to get tubes. But if it helps. ..the rest of the day we ran some errands and watched frozen.
Friday we went to breakfast at the original pancake house. Lots of yummy pancake options but way over priced. KR got chocolate chip and I got pecan. Yum!! But the menu said 3.75 for sliced banana. 6.25 for banana with whip cream! This is just a side dish! 9 something for IN SEASON berries!! Crazy! It was fun to try something new. But we've eaten out so much this week, and having an empty calorie high sugar and nothing else breakfast was the final straw for me. My legs felt so shaky all day and I just felt malnourished haha. So for dinner we had meatloaf with ground turkey, side of carrots and cabbage glazed in honey, and we made our mashed potatoes with half cauliflower. Yum! Anyway, now we are to today. It's supposed to be yet another day of rain, which is a bummer since it's our last day to do anything for 6 weeks. So we will think of something!! I'll let you know what we do in next week's post!
