Furst off, welcome to my new home. I treated myself for the Channukah holiday to a new blog look and since I stink at this kind of stuff-well I paid as very nice woman named Heather to design my blog. If you are lookiung for somebody she is awesome and her name is Heather Bixler, the
Lead Designer @ Girly Blog Designz. Her weebsite is http://girlyblogdesignz.com. Very cool and very nice and so easy to work with. Shameless Plug.
Anyway, as for teething..things seems to be better. I did not need to give Max any motrin tonight or last night. I did not even give him teething tablets today. We also went to see Dr. Daphne Goldberg yesterday and she looked in his ears and NO INFECTION> Yeah you heard me-no antibiotics. I did or we did it meaning the chinese herbalist. I was so damn happy. I was so excited that we fought it off. I also gave him garlic and mullein drops in his ears plus a homeopathic ear infection medicine as well. I figured one of them had to work. I think the garlic and mullein helped to kill the bacteria while the homeopathic drops helped to take away the itching and the irritation. Anyway, they worked.
As for sleeping..after a year of seeing that my kid hates his crib-we moved the mattress to the floor. I realized that it is not about me sleeping next to him because he no longer wants to snuggle at night-he wants to just sleep in an open space-not confined. I have tested this theory by seeing if he falls alseep anywhere but his crib so last night after talking with Daphne we tested it and it worked. He went to sleep at 7 45 pm and woke at 9 for a butt pat and then at 12 for a butt pat and then at 4 am for a butt pat and then at 7 30 am. Considering this is a kid that is teething and not the greatest sleeper-well it worked and he slept in his room all night. He is totally baby proofed and there are no outlets that are not covered etc. Scott and I were blown away but I knew it-he hated feeling like he was in jail.
So tonight we did our routine and then went into his room-he climbed up on his bed and laid his head down. He drank a little bottle and then put his head on his stuffed animal pillow and went to sleep.
OK..so now the funny stuff. When I was younger, I had a dog and my mom used to find me eating dog food with my dog next to me. Tonight I was coking and I turned around to see Max eating Esther’s treats. I guess Max wanted cheese and bacon. OH BOY!!
