7 month old

Eidan turns 7 month old today.. he's been sick for the most part of the last month - cough, cold, ear infection. And with all of those comes pain and the lost of appetite. We just had him checked last Friday because he got sick again after 3 days of being well. He's weight has been affected. He only gained .5lbs for the past month =( He takes 2 medicines using the nebulizer and some other antibiotics *sigh*. I hope all these medicine does not have a bad side effect on his growth and development.

Despite of everything that's going on with his health, Eidan is still a happy baby. =) For the past few weeks, he's been turning over to do tummy time on his own. He does this in secret though. I was not able to see it for myself until this weekend. =) He also sleeps on his side sometimes. He's eating more solids (vegetable and fruit puree with cereal) and he's playing with his feet. He's still getting milestones slowly. Soon enough, he'll be able to catch up with kids his age.

Happy 7 month birthday Eidan!!! *muah muah muah*

pearly whites!

Eidan got his first tooth during his first week of daycare. Now he has two!



But with teething, comes the lost of appetite. From drinking 20 – 24 oz, he only takes in about 15 – 18 now. He would drink 30ml out of 120 ml then would start biting on the nipples. So we had to try to feed him several times in an hour. Any left over after that hour goes down the drain. Yup, we threw quite a lot of milk this past week. Hopefully he gains his appetite back. He needs all the milk he can take to catch up. On the plus side, he would eat more cereal when he’s not drinking from the bottle. =)
