Emet has been battling a fever since Monday evening. He ran a low grade fever Monday night and Tuesday morning. When he woke up from his nap on Tuesday, his fever spiked at 102.4. I called the doctor and they wanted us to come in. We made the trip to see Dr. Ryan in Wake Forest. Dr. Ryan checked his ears, throat and even did a blood test to see if there was an infection anywhere. There were no signs of infection and he was only diagnosed with a fever (probably from a virus, which there is nothing he can take to treat a virus). He has been on Motrin (for the fever) and has been a little more fussy than normal. We are praying his fever will subside and that no one else will get sick! Good news from the doctor though...they weighed him and he is up to 16 pounds and 12 ounces. He has gained 1 1/2 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks! Yay!
This morning he made an attempt to use a spoon himself. It was cute so I had to catch it on camera. He did okay...but still has a long way to go before he is feeding himself. We will keep practicing!
He has also started using the sign for "more." It looks more like a clap than the actual sign for more, but we understand what he means and when he does it, he of course gets more!
Using a spoon!
She had to get in on the camera action too!
"More"
