On Friday, Hunter got a nice long bath before the Doctor and before camping!!! Hunter went for his 9 month well check and was suppose to receive his shots, both his check and his shots were late due to him being sick, then having surgery. Now, we delayed his shots once again, due to him being sick and the fever he had for 2 days. I cried for the first time at the doctor since the breathing machine, she showed me the back of Hunter's throat which was covered in blisters, this is painful and the explanation for him crying for what appeared to be nothing, and not eating or drinking at all to well. She recommended we mix Maalox and Benedryl to coat the blisters and numb them so he could eat comfortably and boy did it work! Other than that it was a clean bill of health, she was very impressed with Hunter's diet, but encouraged me to give him cheese now, that will come some time this week. He is in the 50 percentile for height, weight and head circumference; he is 29 inches, 22 pounds, and I don't remember about the head, I'm just happy he has one :) She said he is developmentally at 13 months, but his speech is at 11 months, and we are just so happy with all of his progress since the surgery! She also said that we don't need to give Hunter any vitamins because he is getting more than enough in the whole foods that he is eating. She gave me some new things to research as new shots are being requested for babies, we will see about that. Hunter did better this time he only choked her with the stethoscope once :)

Then it was off to lunch with my work friends Jae and Kathy for a little Mexican Fiesta! Hunter had to show off his new skills in walking, and his new shoes. Kathy brought Hunter lots of gifts, clothes and toys, which he played with right away! He even got his own John Deere dining set which he used all weekend! Hunter always has a good time with the ladies! Then it was home to load up for camping, we had a great weekend, we hope you did too!
