Life at the Chesters: Two hospital admissions, 6 month MD appointment and a trip to Dollywood

The past two weeks have been a whirl wind at the Chester Home. We celebrated hosting our 3rd annual Quatro de Mayo on the first Wed of the month then that following Friday night we spent the night at Children's hospital (again) as Easton's virus had revamped in full force. We were discharged from the hospital last Tuesday with several inhalers, allergy meds, and an appointment with a pediatric pulmonologist. 

This week we attended Easton's 6 month checkup at the pediatricians office where there seems to be no sign of wheezing, runny nose or cough...just a happy baby who looks and better yet, sounds great. At this appointment Easton weighed in at 16 lb 2 oz (30th percentile) and measured 26.2 inches in length (50th percentile). He is growing so fast and it amazes me that we have a 6 month old son who can sit on his own while playing with his toys and who eats everything in sight (he took down spaghetti with meat sauce today-pureed of course).

To celebrate being out of the hospital for more than a week we took a fun trip to Dollywood on Monday (an East Tennessee tradition in my family) and had lots of fun. My Pappaw loves to see the shows at Dollywood and it blew us away that Easton LOVES the shows too! He couldn't take his eyes off of the gospel quartet as well as the actors in the 50's show at the Dollywood park. There are many more fun times ahead with this little guy, and I can't wait!
