7 Months & Pink Eye

Wyatt turned 7 months on the 10th of course, but I didn't get his picture taken on time because he wanted to be just like Clayton. . .He woke up with pink eye like Clayton had the day before, AND because Clayton woke up with pink eye on his 7 month birthday too, it's the strangest thing. (You can read the blog post I made that day from that link. Good think I keep the blog!)

 The deal with Clayton's eye, is that on Wednesday, shortly before lunch, he suddenly developed pink eye! His eye was very painful, and there was gunk and crusties come out of it, and he was in a lot of pain. I tried to help him by using a wet washcloth to help get it out (since he said he hurt so bad) but after pulling a dozen or more chunks out over the course of a an hour or so, (and he wasn't too cooperative by then anymore) I just let him sit with a cold wash cloth over his eye and tried to have him eat lunch., but he couldn't. He wouldn't even drink his milk. He just sat there, washcloth over one eye, other eye closed, and clearly in pain. He almost fell over in his chair, so I carried him to bed and he took a good long nap. When he got up I had Daddy take him in to the Dr. and get some eye drops. He had to stay home Thursday morning from school, because as you can see from the pictures above his eyes were still really swollen. He actually had an abrasion under his left eye from him rubbing so hard on it when it hurt! :(

Wyatt is doing much better after 24+ hours of eye drops! He weighed just under 17 lbs when he was weighed at the clinic. Here are the pictures I took Friday with his official 7 month sticker.

There is almost nothing in this world that makes this little boy happier than watching his brothers play outside. He loves it!

And a fun video taken throughout the day!
