Otso seems to have blossomed a bit at barnehage and is generally more confident. However, he has also developed a habit of complaining loudly whenever he is dissatisfied, which is often. Sadly, we think this is the end of cheerful babyhood and the beginning of irrational, difficult toddlerhood.
The huge event this month was the pneumonia. It was horrible to see him so I'll. He lost weight and he was very uncomfortable.
This picture from 17.11 shows a sick (but on the mend!) Otso.
21.10 birthday party at barnehage
24.10 mummu arrives
25.10 ullandhaug tower, dinner at the neighbors'
26.10 proper crawl!
27.10 mummu leaves
31.10 halloween party at Hundvåg playgroup
1.11 selma kristine's birthday party (lumi's barnehage classmate)
5.11 walking with one hand support
8.11 lunch with Mira and Dave and Helena and Lilja
12.11 doctor diagnosis: pneumonia. And an eye infection. And also just to make it exciting: 2 new teeth cut through.
17.11 babysat by Joëlle; starts eating again!
20.11 back to barnehage
24.10 walked using stool as a support.
26.10 proper crawl for the first time, and is now pretty confidently crawling. He still prefers to be walked around holding on to an adult's hands.
5.11 walking with one hand support; he was tricked into it first because he wanted to hit a balloon with the other hand. then he got to enjoy it.
He seems to be left-footed, heavily favoring that foot for kicking balls.
He loves cars and his little hammering toys.
He is still not interested in books.
He loves frozen peas. He loves cooked broccoli and carrots. He loves sauteed zucchini. However, it doesn't matter how much he loves whatever he's eating, he will still throw it off his plate/tray when he is done. This is not a charming habit.
24.10 first pizza -- approved!
28.10 first time at barnehage they said he ate a lot
29.10 still ravenous, eating huge portions of salmon and zucchini.
10.11 with the arrival of the pneumonia, his appetite was gone.
29.10 was a horrible night, with many bouts of hysterical screaming.
30.10 pretty bad night again.
31.10 bit äiti while "dreamfeeding"
1.11 night weaning again
10.11 he is so sick that I am nursing at night again.
Post-sickness he still isn't sleeping well. He cries harder than ever in the evenings, and wakes up several times and can be inconsolable.
Health
30.10 came home with a runny nose.
2.11 my nipple was cracked and painful. i thought it was yeast, but otso showed no signs in the mouth. i went to the doctor on 3.11 but he said it wasn't yeast. he tested my blood for a bacterial infection and it showed nothing. so he said to just use topical antibiotics (something like Neosporin and rubbing alcohol) for a couple of days. Sure enough, after Neosporin plus a bandaid for 2 nights, it went away.
5.11 facial skin looks red and irritated
7.11 came home with mucus in the eyes
10.11 they called from barnehage in the afternoon and said Otso was feverish. We brought him home. His fever was over 38. He vomited.
11.11 stayed home from barnehage. Eyes are crusty and he is tired and unresponsive. Vomiting during the evening and night. Fever over 38.
12.11 fever over 38 in the morning. Still not eating anything other than breast milk, and mostly vomiting that right back. went to doctor. Diagnosis of pneumonia. He sent us to the hospital for an xray, where they confirmed that it looks like pneumonia. So he started a course of penicillin.
He also cut 2 new teeth on 12.11: right upper lateral incisor and left lower lateral incisor
14.11 still feverish and not eating so we went to urgent care. They basically said it will take a week so we should just use ibuprofen and paracetamol to keep him comfortable.
17.11 Joëlle babysat in the morning so both Kimmo and I could get some solid work in. And that afternoon he started eating again! By dinner we were back to a familiar routine: him eating vegetables and shrimp as fast as we could hand it to him.
