Brandon

After his battle with viral infections, bronchitis and pnuemonia he is finally coming back to the HAPPY little boy we love so much. He lost so much weight in the last two months. At his 9th month check up which we did 1 week and 3 days early he weighed the same he did at 7 months. He is now 14 lbs 12 oz. (Yea he gained 11 oz in one week after being in the hospital). He is still shorter than Brianna - he has grown 2 inches. He is 26 3/4 inches long. Poor baby he has been through so much in the last 2 months. Last Monday he got tested for allergies and the results came back negative. We are now being referred to an asthma/allergy specialist to figure out if he has asthma since. Another thing thing we are going to look into having him tested for is cystic fibrosis (because of how often he is sick)and Down Synrome. Guen is waiting on the referrals to go through in order to have thse test run and to see the allergists. We will keep you informed.

He is still trying to figure out how to get off of his stomach when he rolls onto to it. He gets so frustrated that he can not do something. He might not be rolling all over the floor quite yet however, he manages to get around. He is funny about taking his breathing treatments - he looks like he is smoking. We will get a picture of it soon.


FIRST TOOTH

TODAY daddy was feeling around in Brandon's mouth and found out the hard way that Brandon HAS a HIS FIRST TOOTH. Yea! he beat his sister on who was going to get the first tooth. He never even showed any signs of getting a new tooth.

HA...that is awesome that he is beating Brianna to something. It is about time! I am also glad that ya'll are getting all the tests done now. I think it is better to test for it all even if it comes back negative! Hopefully he gets over this sickly spell and stays on the road to recovery.
