Hi Everyone,

It has been quiet here...I assumed it was just due to Christmas and everyone on some sort of leave or organising older kids going to school!

Well...Ben is doing ok..he had his 18mth check and is 12.5kg and 80cm tall...very big considering I am only 152cm tall and 46kg. I have had to start pilates by a physio as he is so heavy for me to carry around I get sore neck and shoulders
He also has lots of teeth..they just seem to appear all of a sudden and before you know it he has a mouthful of them.

He has been great since the grommets although as I said in a previous response he did get an ear infection at Christmas after the grommets were put in
He has not been well of late..he had his 18mth chicken pox immunisation and the Dr said a chickenpox like reaction can come up to 21days after...he has it now!
He has ulcers in his mouth..he was dribbling like mad, I had to change his top 2-3 times a day as he wont wear a bib unless it's eating time. He also stopped eating which is very unlike him. I have never been a big believer in dribbling and teething so when I took him to the Dr he saw the ulcers under his tongue and on the inside of his cheeks, he also had a couple of spots around his bottom and some on his legs..all viral so no antibiotics just nurofen and bonjella for the ulcers. The bonjella initially stings so Ben has been biting my fingers when I try to put it around his mouth..ouch!!
Well, we are away to Apollo Bay for Easter..have a safe and Happy Easter.
Hope you all get lots of yummy chocolate!

bye for now

Heather
