Hux: 8 Months

Sweet boy! Love his baby blues!

Our sweet Hux got sick for the first time while we were in Florida! We left on his 8 month birthday, Saturday the 15th, and flew overnight to Miami to my sister's house. The flight went very well and he did great, but once we arrived we noticed he was running a fever and congested. We took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with RSV. The nights were VERY long and he was very uncomfortable. He is finally on the mend and I am so glad. It broke my heart seeing him sick, but I am SO proud that he made it over 8 months before getting sick! 

Hux has changed so much in the last month. He is eating a ton and really prefers pick ups and little pieces of food over baby food. He loves to be held and just to look around and see everything that is going on. He recently started HATING his carseat and throws a tantrum whenever I put him in, unless I majorly distract him with a toy. 

He had so much fun with his cousins and grandparents and loved splashing around in the pool and soaking up the Florida sun. We were definitely HOT though. It's amazing how you forget how hot it is in Florida!
