Half Year Birthday

Hayden turned six months old on Sunday. It is very hard to believe that we are half way there to his first birthday. We went for his 6 mo checkup on Monday, and it was quite eventful. He weighs in at 19 lbs and is 25 inches long(75th & 80th percentile). Dr. Baer is impressed with his size and his strength. We had to fill out some paperwork to get into a program for an RSV preventative monthly shot. The shots are quite pricey, so insurance preapproval is a must. Dr. got to witness his panting/wheezing that happens on occasion while we were there and explained that it will take his poor little lungs quite some time to catch up from his preemie days.

Unfortunately, that night he developed a nasty little cough and his wheezing became more frequent so we were back at the Dr. on Tuesday. We went home with a nebulizer, and we are giving him treatments every 4 hours until he is cough free for at least 2 days. He is being a trooper during his treatments, poor little guy :-( Mommy has to call the Dr. and give her a report on how he is doing until Monday. She is monitoring him very closely to make sure he has a cold and is not in the early stages of RSV.

I had quite the messy lunch. That's right, I get lunch now...and meat.

I really want to crawl.

6 month photos

Here is a link to his 6 month photos we had taken a few weeks ago. He did pretty well, but he has figured out what a stranger is and was a little scared of the photographer. That is why you see mommy's hands in most of the photos.

Check them out here, customer name Amy Wilson.
