Catching Up With The Rowley's: Helo's Better! (with some angry ranting...sorry)

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Helo was very ill. He had an ear ache, eye infection, cough, He was throwing up, He was congested, and constipated. So His Dr. put Him on antibiotics for 10days, along with a few other medicines/routines. It was a rough few weeks as we cared for Helo. But Helo is getting better... And let me just say his poops are showing He's feeling better!
Helo has started solids! He started at three months! And before anyone freaks out on us... We are not bad parents for starting Him so soon, and NO it wasn't too early. Not everything goes by age you know. If you listen to your child's pediatrician and watch for the correct signs...as a parent, you will know when your child is ready. And every child is different.
Helo has been 'supporting sitting' (really trying to sit on his own), and whenever Dan and I eat He leans toward the utensil to try to get a bite. He was ready when we started Him too. He eats so well (some foods more than others). He Loves His cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, and has come to tolerate pears. He despises green beans and peaches, and He will eat peas if we combine them with another likable food. He is still on (what Dan calls) booby milk, and He seems to be eating ALL the time for the past two weeks. He now ways 15 lbs! I feel like I am carrying around weights all day.
Helo physically...needs improvement on his tummy time. He is closer to walking than to crawling (which we were told is not the best) so we are working on his tummy skills.
If you walk into our home...you will see what looks like a playground. Helo has so many toys that look like their own jungle gyms, some of them are borrowed (until He outgrows them) and some of them are His. But Helo is Dan's son, He gets bored fast. So we are constantly moving to the next toy, which is why it's good we have so many.
But other than the tummy time, Helo is great and is growing fast!
