Bailey has been sick and unhappy. Took him to the doctors yesterday morning after he couldn't eat breakfast and kept crying and crying, turns out he had an ear and throat infection again. I guess that explains why his balance has been a bit off kilter lately and he's had a lot more little falls and accidents. But with his medicine and some rest he is feeling much better today, just gotta clear up his nose a bit more. Hate yukky noses and when they are sick and there's nothing you can do to make it better for them :-(. Last night he woke up after 11 and was screaming and crying for nearly an hour and we were holding him and trying things that we thought he might want but he didn't want anything. :-( Not sure if it's related to the sickness or if he had a nightmare as usually when we pick him up he calms down but not last night.. Today he's been heaps better and his appetite is back in full swing!
New words lately and favourite things to say:
car
'D'
google
there - if you ask him where something is
Last night he very clearly said 'Baby' I think he may have been trying to say 'Bailey' though.
He can do the actions to Open, Shut Them and If You're Happy and You Know It and part of the chorus to the Wiggles 'Point your fingers and do the twist' and has started to do actions for 'I love You'. Very sweet! :-)
Was great having Mum over last week while Tim was in Hobart, we found a house for them to rent near us from the end of May. :-)

Have you tried using saline drops in his nose? That really works well. That hate having it done but it works. You can buy fess brand but normal saline with a dropper works as its really the same thing and much cheaper. It sounds like he woke up scared from having a blocked nose. It frustrates them when they can't breathe through their nose. Hope he gets well soon. PS This will link to my old blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice Amanda, I think I'll try it next time he gets sick, I'm so glad he's all better now!
