Harrison had a lot of "firsts" this month. The highlight was certainly his first time on a swing. He absolutely loved it! He smiled when I gently pushed him back and forth, but then screamed with glee when his brother took over the controls and sent him on a wilder ride. I'm convinced this one will be my daredevil.
The valley of the month was Harrison's first trip to the ER. He'd had a cold during the daytime hours but as night crept on his cough turned to a bark. In the dead of night, around 1 a.m., he started wheezing and couldn't breath. Since Kevin was out of town on business, I bundled Harrison up, woke K, and dashed off to the closest hospital. Kaden was terrific - very agreeable, patient, and understanding. He was quiet as I spoke with the doctors and nurses, stayed close as the nurses whisked us off from room to room, and was quite concerned about his little brother. He made several comments on our trip to the hospital - "mom, you're going faster than an ambulance," "mom, that was a red light,""mom, are the police going to get us?" - but once we got there, he was as quiet as a mouse. The diagnosis was croup and, after a steroid dose, he was back to normal.
This month Harrison found his hands and seems enthralled by them. If they aren't in his mouth, he's just looking them over trying to figure out where they came from and how they are controlled. He also, finally, rolled over from his back to his stomach. I can imagine it was quite a feat as he's still a little chunk - look at those edible thighs!!!
