First, helmet update. Today we had an appointment at UNC to have his head / helmet checked. Yesterday was the 7 week mark that he's been wearing it. Well, when we started his head was 5/8th inch "out of square". Now it's only 1/8th inch - a 1/2 inch improvement!! All of our friends and family can tell a big difference when we take the helmet off. I did ask today if they thought he'd be in it 4 months or possibly less / more. They thought he'd be 4 months or a little less depending on how fast he grows. His head (and his whole body!) has been growing very well so we're hoping for the "little less" part. Because of his growth, we are still on two week checks so we'll go back on June 9th to see more progress. It's so great to see the changes and know we made the right decision.
Now, on to other stuff. Got an email from my friend Amy (Stella Dot's mom) about Babies R Us taking back BPA bottles for store credit so you can replace them. I called the BRU at Southpoint today and sure enough, that store is taking them back. On the way home from Chapel Hill tonight, we stopped and bought a package of 'Born Free' bottles to see how Eli likes them. He did well so we're going to gather up all our old Avent bottles and I'll take them on Friday to get new ones. Such great info Amy, thanks!
Also, in case you haven't seen, Munchkin recalled their bottle warmers. Well, the recalled one was our exact model. Munchkin has a 1-800 number to call so I called and left a message. I was surprised when about an hour later, they called me back to confirm that mine was indeed one recalled and tell me how to get it replaced. They're sending us a prepaid envelope to send it back.
Eli seems to be getting rid of his icky-ness. He finished his antibiotics last night and the ear infection is gone. He has some sort of rash now on his back that we're trying to figure out. It doesn't really seem to bother him so we're just treating it with cortisone to see how that helps - it just showed up really yesterday. I'm still on the mend as well. Starting to feel better but still have a stuffy nose and now really starting to cough like a seal. Hopefully I can finish getting rid of it this week. Being a sick Mommy is no fun!!
Last to report, there was a little incident at school today. Eli, according to the incident report, took a toy away from someone. In turn, that kid bit Eli on the arm...pretty hard. It left some pretty serious teeth marks on Eli's arm. Didn't break the skin thankfully but they cold compressed it and gave him lots of TLC at school. I took a picture tonight at home - keep in mind that the incident happened at 8:30 this morning.
That's all for now. Hope you're having a great week!
Looks like human teeth marks, no sharks here
Wow, that kid had some teeth!
