6 Months Old and tubes....

Big Boy

Asher turned 6 months on July 22 and had his 6 month check-up that day. His stats are 21.lbs even (93%), 27.7 inches long(89%),and head circumference 45 cm (79%). He is a big BIG healthy baby boy. He is sitting up unassisted, loves to be in his jumperoo or his walker, can't get enough solids in him and is EXTREMELY happy! He is so much fun and really is such a happy boy. Wednesday, he went in for tubes. After 5 ear infections in his young 6 months, it was time. He did really well as the doctor was running a 1/2 hour behind, especially considering he hadn't eaten since 8:30 the night before. At 8:45 that morning, he went in and he was finished by 9:00. When the nurses came into tell us that he was awake and they were going to bring him to us, they warned us that he was really mad. We had gone through waking up from anesthesia with Sadie so we kind of knew what to expect. He has much more of a temper than Sadie did and cried in my arms for about 20 minutes before he finally fell back to sleep. When he woke up the second time, he was a bit better and finally settled down to eat and then he was happy again. He actually did pretty well all day except when he would burp. The air from his burp would effect his ears and he would cry for a bit after each one. It has been two days since he had the surgery and he is back to his old self.

We love this little guy so much and are so grateful that he is in our family.
