Growing up with Nathaniel; Week111-118

06 April 2016
 
Week 118!
 
Boy, he is now 27 months old now.


Coughs are getting lesser, still on his so-called long term medication until we finishes the current course and see if needed to go back PD or not.  He's sleeping better at night now (don't jinx it again...) and drinking more milk.  Can see him building back his puffy cheeks and gaining some weight lost over past week's fever+cough+flu ordeal.  But challenges are, he refuses to let me change his diapers at night before his bedtime else need to go find which power diaper can soak all his 300ml+ of pee to last him whole night without wetting the bed (and me having to do laundry in the middle of the dusk)...
