Hatcher is all over the place in his walker. He has learned to open the kitchen cabinets & drawers. He has even learned that there is stuff in the drawers that are super fun to play with like plastic spoons & ladles!! I can't take my eyes off of him for one second.
He's officially a CRAWLER!! So crazy but so exciting for him! He did it for the first time on May 28th. His daddy had been working with him on it all weekend & of course he does all by himself as soon as daddy leaves town for work. Still trying to catch it on video but I know he's going to be all over the place now!!
We still only have two bottom teeth. Those top ones that he's been teething since he was 6 months old have still not made their appearance. He drools every where & puts literally everything he can get his hands on in his mouth! Come on teeth!!!
He is saying "dada" really well & can say "mama" but doesn't say it very often! We've been working with him on who people are. For example, you can say "Hatcher, where's the puppy or where's Dooley" and he'll look for him until he finds him. He does it with mommy & daddy too and now we're working on grandparents. It's so neat to see him start recognizing who people are by name!
Hatcher had his first & I hope his last Emergency Room visit on Mother's Day. Scared us to death!! He had a runny nose & lots of nasal congestion for about two weeks. Tissue and the nasal aspirator were our very best friends...well mine not his! The doctor told me it was just a part of teething and there wasn't anything we could give him. He started with a cough on the Saturday before Mother's Day. It got worse as the day went on and much worse after we put him to bed. By 3:00 he was having difficulty breathing and we made the decision to go to the ER. They gave him a breathing treatment and a steroid shot and told us he had croop. He was honestly doing so much better before we ever left there around 6:00. Seeing him that sick and in the hospital was terrifying and I literally had knots in my stomach the entire time. The doctor and nurses took excellent care of him and it meant so much to us. He was supposed to be dedicated later that morning at church but we decided that wasn't a good idea after our eventful night and didn't want him getting the other children sick. So we will wait until next time!
Hatcher also had his first beach trip which I'll post about later! What a fun trip!!
We also moved him into a big boy rear facing car seat. He was getting too big for his infant car seat & honestly he was uncomfortable in it. He seems to be more comfortable in his Britax although right now he just isn't a fan of being in the car seat. I think at some point all kids go through this stage. He does like sitting up & being able to see more though!
Time is flying by & I can't believe I'm already thinking of 1st birthday party ideas!! Yes, I have a Pinterest board all about it. Haha! We are throwing around a few different ideas and although I'm not ready for him to turn the big one, it'll be fun to plan!!
