Happy 15 Months Prince Leo!

Happy 15 months my precious petit prince Leo!  Leo weighs 21.5 pounds (31%) and stretches 31 inches long (44%) with a head circumference of 18 inches (20%).  Leo is getting bigger and stronger every day!  Last month, my poor baby Leo had to be in the ER room and then admitted to Choc for 4 days because he was feverish for several days and then had a very bad cough.  After the first trip to the ER room, he was prescribed some antibiotics but after a few days, he was not getting any better and so he got admitted to Choc.  It took a couple days but the doctors finally figured out that he had a viral pneumonia and was able to give him the correct antibiotics that would help him, and he had to use the nebulizer 4 times a day to help clear up the fluids in his lungs.  He is such a trooper and it’s so rare to see him so unhappy and melancholy, I knew he was not feeling so well.  It was so good to see him smiling and happy a week later.  His smile just melts my heart!  It’s never easy to see your baby at the hospital, all hooked up to wires and monitors and poked with needles, but Leo is such a champ and is so brave through it all.  He can face any challenge that comes his way, and look super cute at the same time!  Leo also had an appointment with an opthalmologist and they said he’s near sighted with some astigmatism, and will most likely need glasses next year.  The nerve in the back of one of his eyes was a bit enlarged I think but the doctor said it wasn’t anything to be concerned about.  I’m glad that it’s nothing more serious and that he will be taken care of when the time comes!  He also had a hearing test scheduled but due to his lung congestion from his pneumonia, he wasn’t able to complete the hearing test so he was have to come back in November for that test.

Leo is so much more active these days, and can sit with his legs straight out and doesn’t always have to prop himself with his arms!  He is making progress and is making me soooo proud of him!  He loves to kick his legs and waves his arms around, he is reaching for toys and objects so much faster.  He is more interactive as well and seems to even respond when you call his name now!  Since Leo still isn’t taking in any solid foods, whole milk is not enough nutrients for him, so he’s now drinking Kid’s Boost Essentials, which luckily is covered by insurance too.  Hopefully this will help him grow big and strong!  Leo is very happy all the time and just loves being held and played with.  He likes to roll around and can almost sit up from rolling on the floor too!  Leo is so mellow and chill, he still sleeps so well through the night and loves his naps too.  He is such a sweet and wonderful little baby, I feel so blessed and lucky to call him mine.  I’m so proud of my precious Leo, keep up all your amazing hard work baby, happy 15 months Leo!

lilyleport9_2016-3lilyleport9_2016-2Lily is always so sweet, silly, and loving, I cannot get enough of her.  Unfortunately this last month, I wasn’t able to be with her as much as I liked due to my accident, but when I do, she just continues to surprise me with her spunky personality.  She is so full of love and compassion.  She’s constantly hugging me, holding my arm, putting her head on my shoulder, constantly giving me kisses and telling me how much she loves me.  I feel like the luckiest mom in the world and I feel so humbled to have this sweet little girl love me so much.  She understands so much, and told me that Leo is sick and remembers Choc and said that the doctors will help Leo feel better!  Even when I was at the hospital, Lily was not scared to visit me and give me a hug and told me that I will get better soon.  I love how smart she is and how positive and hopeful she is as well.  I love her happiness and I can see the sunshine radiating from her.  Lily is finally showing me what she’s learning from her spanish classes at LePort, and she can count to 10 and her favorite is still “frutas” (fruit) haha.  She is warming up to Tajik Karate now too and likes to show me her punches and kicks with the sound effects!  This month she will be starting gymnastics classes too.  She really likes doing yoga so I really hope she’ll enjoy gymnastics, especially since I really liked my gymnastic classes when I was a kid!  I’m so excited for her!  She’s dancing and singing a lot more now too and I’m so excited for her to soak up all the activities that she gets to participate in at school.  I sometimes feel like she’s so mature for her age, but when I look at her, I will always see my sweet little baby girl.  I’m so proud of the beautiful person she’s growing up to be, I love her so much.
