4/9/2005 BB has strange emotions and stranger anxiety attack

yesterday (Friday) we went to our 1 yeard check up w/ dr. Roskin. Ethan is now 31.5 inches and 27lb 9 oz ( i was shocked it wasn't 30lbs, honestly). Everything is trackign normal and Roskin isnt' concerned about the walking/crawling . he thinks that he'll do so in the next 4-8 weeks..we'll see. Actualy lately he's been scooting a step or two WHILE IN CRAWLING position. Then he backs up and sits back down. Roskin recommened a skin test at the alergist after i explaine the never going away ezcema.. he did say that srping time can be bad... i had started putting 0.5% hydrocortisone for a couple days and do see an improvement. Rosking say use 1%, 3 times a day!! i'd be happy to see slight improvement w/ the 0.5%... he said better to use it and keep him from scracthing. We will start to give him whole milk soon :) Hopefully he'll like it. Also need to start using a tooth bruth lah.

I made an appt w/ dr. Gail Shapiro - the doctor who saw Cole, and supposedly best in town. When i found out that she also sees adults, i made an appt for myself too. let's see what else, besides wheat. speaking of which, bb's alergies made me expore a lot of non wheat and gluten free cooking. We made some brown rice pasta w/ grond beef and speghetti sausce, and it tastes like normal pasta. also made corn bread...and will try many other thigns... thanks to whole foods. (Thank's to GOD for letting us be able to afford all this)

In the evening as ethan was having his banana, i asked for some - he won't give any, so I pretend to cry....suddenly he started crying too - it was sympahy cry!! It was sooo sweet. my little baby is definitely growing up and learning emotions

ethan can say "dung dung" and pointn at the light now. very cute. Also will say bye bye and wave (i think i have repaeted that 1/2 million times). We sing a lot of songs.... when i sing or play "If you are happy" then he knows to clap his hands. We sing "itsy bitsy spider", we also like "head and shoulder kneeds and toes. He loves if when we do "Rub your tummy"....


Today herman went to Charlie Dang to do taxes. we owed close to $4k. It would've been 5K before the fudging :( I guess w/ herman seeling so much ESPP last year it was like a 200K income. i made 1/2 o my salaray 'coz i was 4 months off! After that we went to IDX Bright horizon 'coz they have a 2 yr anniversary event. Not a lot of kids were there.. but we got to eat really good sandwiches. Main man saw sandy and went for her right away. After that , main man was quite tired and as we arrived jim and joanna's for bb group meeting he snoozed in the car. And I was snoozing also - for 1.5 hrs... we went in there and the meeting was already almost over. KK didn't go 'coz she's had HIGH fever (104) for a couple nigihts. poor thing, and they suspected UTI but then the tube could not get in :(

Tonight we wnet to coho for dinner.. across from us sits a big group of people. there was a guy w/ a goatie and a mustach. he was actually friendly and was waving to Ethan. Ethan waved back...it was fuine. Suddenly as he was eating his pasta and beef, he started crying!! BIG DROPS OF TEARS come down his face!! I was in panic, I thought he was choking!!! i thook him and flipped him on my lap and started to hit his neck..... everyone was watching. Finally he was ok and i held him in my arms to console him....after walking him around for a bit, we sat him down again.. there the crying starts again!! At this point we clued in - he did not choke, he cried because he saw that guy w/ the beard!! Ethan has never done this befoe!!! he's never been "Afraid" of anyone really!! but for sure this was it. he kept trying to turn around to watch him and then keep bursting into tears. Joyce and herman and I felt it was really silly but the poor guy was so sad!!! We'd imagine that the guy did a funny face to him or something!! And i mean this still didn't end after the group has left!!! he still looked and still started to cry.. FINALLY the waiter separated the 2 tables and reset that up and then he stopped crying...geeze. this is weird - defeinitely a new 1 year old thing. but sooo cute.
