Dhillonina is growing like a weed! He is certainly one of the happiest babies I have ever seen (okay, okay. I am a little bias, but really. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it!) Occasionally he will stick out his bottom lip at someone, but when that happens it is usually due to an underlying problem...tired or hungry! :)
Speaking of food...this kid eats anything put in front of him. Just this weekend, the three of us were enjoying our taquitos and Dhillon was having none of that. Finally, I gave in and gave him some egg. He ate almost an entire scrambled egg! He also loves the gerber crunchy foods (cheeto like ones and the puffs). Now he is moving on to stage 3 foods that are chunkier and thicker. Maybe they will fill up his belly a little more, because he is currently eating almost 8 containers of food a day (yes...that averages to $4.00 for food) and then 5, 4-6oz bottles. This boy can eat!
When Dhillon gets hungry, he grabs his arm and says AHHHHHHH as he swivels his head back and forth, all while rubbing his mouth on his arm. It is hysterical, but that is how we know he is about to "starve!" I tried to catch a picture the other day, but his head was moving so fast that it made the picture blurry.
He is doing awesome with sitting and playing. Right now he loves to play with a little pop up toy that was Laela's. It is almost like he races to try to put close the flaps. Too funny!
As far as medical, Dhillon has been a little tougher than Laela. I mentioned a few blog back that he had the flu, followed by an ear infection. That went away over the week and then a week later, the other ear was infected and he had to be put on his 4th round of breathing treatments. On top of that, the doctor started him on a steriod treatment through the breathing machince and it has to be done once a day for 30 days. Our hope is that it will wipe out whatever is in his lungs and then we won't have this problem any more. I hope it works!
By the way...Laela could not stand that Dhillon was getting pictures, so of course...here they are! Dhillon and the girl he drools over...Big Sister, Laela!
(if only she understood how much this little guy loves her! i guess one day she will.) :)
