Cough cough!

Ely has had a nagging cough that has made him gag and throw up (a lot). After a call into the Dr.'s office, I was told to bring in Ely right away for a checkup. When I went to the Learning Center (LC) to pick up Ely, Parisa had taken Ely out for a stroll ride. Evidently Ely had a huge blowout and his mattress was being aired out. I wasn't too happy to hear that Ely had "the Hulk" blowout. Ely came back from the stroll ride and was happy (flapping arms and all). He certainly didn't look sick.

Luckily it turned out that Ely has a mild cold virus and no ear infection or fluid in his lungs. We just need to give him a warm bath and use the humidifier in his room.

We were able to get Ely measured during the Dr. visit and it looks like I didn't measure him accurately at 5 months.

At 5 months, 1 week & 1 day old:

16 lbs 4 ounces

27 1/4 inches

Sleep update:

Ely has been sleeping from around 730-5am/6am. He cries for only 10 minutes or so before falling asleep (versus an hour). Today, he has been sleeping for the last 1 1/2 hours (the longest nap we've had in a long time).
