Joshua had found out a new game that he would literally throw tantrums whenever we don’t allow him to play. He goes gaga over this online game. His night isn’t complete without it. He totally forgot UP now, he’s into SHANGHAI NOON. Blame my son’s movie addiction to his dad.
His latest addiction…
are both sick. Joshua woke up Friday morning coughing badly though I ignore it as he was an actor most of the time. Claire, on the other hand, finished her medicines and yet her cough is still bad. We troop to their pedia last Saturday for another check-up.
Claire gained weight despite her cough. We are giving her Pred10 thrice a day plus her round the clock nebulization every hours. This makes me cranky all the time. Imagine the need to wake up every four hours for this. Gawd! The pain of motherhood is being a walking zombie when your kid is sick. We are going back for another check-up tomorrow to see if her condition has improved or not. Crossing fingers as the last words of her pedia says that she is still young but her lungs are wheezing already.
Joshua is into Salbutamol. Although, most of the time he gets cranky so we always gave in to what he wants, that is, unlimited time for computer games. He’s into Petville and what’s the watch movie during bedtime.
Anyhow, we went to her pedia around 10am. The kuya is not with us as he was occupied playing games with mini. Since her last event of cough and colds were just last month, she was given salbutamol and cefuroxime. Poor baby, as she hates the taste of her medicines. Come Sunday evening, her temperature shoot 38 degrees so we were adviced her to administer paracetamol every 4 hours.
Until now, her coughs and colds hasn’t changed and so is her temperature. She gets extra clingy and restless and doesn’t want to be put down to sleep. We just hope this would go away and that she wouldn’t be like his kuya before that has coughs every single month.
From What to Expect
Peek-a-boo, I see you! Get ready to play this classic and other hide-and-seek games as your baby starts to catch on to the fun.
Just a few weeks ago, your baby had no idea that his teddy bear still existed when he wasn't in plain view. Well, all that's changed as he's now caught on to the concept of object permanence. That's why he loves to play peek-a-boo or find items that are "hidden" (Is that my rattle behind your back?). These "seeking" games are like brainteasers for your baby. Your little one is also gaining manual dexterity and may now be able to pass a toy from one hand to the other or rake a small object and then pick it up. He's a big babbler too, so encourage his chatter by talking up a storm yourself. Chances are he's starting solids about now; read up on the baby daily dozen to ensure he gets the nutrients he needs. And speaking of eating, some babies may start teething early so keep an eye out for signs of teething, e.g., drooling, face rash, or crankiness. Two other potentially pesky problems, eczema and food allergies, often emerge around now, perhaps triggered by the introduction of solids. What else is up? Some babies are ready to start drinking from a cup, so if yours seems interested, give it a go. But do stay safe — choose cups, baby swings, jumpers, and other baby paraphernalia wisely, and, of course, never leave your baby unattended.
Claire still doesn’t like tummy time though she is now trying to lie flat on her stomach. She can now play with her drool. She plays with her milk. She blabs and blabs whenever someone talks to her. She loves to play “peek-a-boo” with her kuya. She caught cough and colds again for the second time – this time worst than the first as she gets clingy and restless and doesn’t want to be put down. Lastly, still 100% feed by mommy’s milk.
