Barrett went to the doctor a few weeks ago for his 4 month old check up. A few days before he went he started getting a cough and acted like he was getting a cold. The day I picked him up to go to the doctor I heard him cough and it sounded like he was a seal. I thought, "well at least he's going to the doctor today." Once we got to Diane's office, she listened to him and said it sounded like he was beginning to get stridor and gave us some steroids for it. Then he weighed in at 16 lbs and 26 inches long. He lost a pound due to not wanting to eat much. Graham and I stayed at home for the rest of the week rotating days off. Then he got an ear infection while recovering from the stridor. He was so pitiful and in so much pain. Along with the ear infection came diarrhea diapers and getting very dehydrated because he couldn't keep anything down. We were slowly giving him pedialyte to try and hydrate him. Finally he started getting back to normal after a few days!
Barrett has found his feet! For about a week now all he wants to do is put his feet in his mouth. It is the cutest thing in the world watching him get his feet! He is growing up too fast.....he is such a sweet and happy baby!!!
