"Nom Nom Nom, I love sweet potatoes!"
"These are so good, I even want to hold my own spoon!"Jack joined us at the table for 1/2 of dinner... then he decided that he was tired and needed a nap. It was a good first solid food outing!
Once his grandparents went home on Saturday, we ventured out to the stores for a little Christmas shopping. Most of it turned out to be Santa presents for Jack (it's *much* more fun to buy for him than to buy for each other!) We did get him one present that we gave him early: a fresh-food teether. It's a little mesh bag on a handle, and we put pieces of frozen apple and frozen pear in it. He loooooooved it so much! It kept him entertained for hours. I think this is definitely evidence that he is indeed teething.
"Mom, those sweet potatoes were awesome, but these apples...they are sooooo much better!!"We are enjoying him more and more every day, even though he is getting fussy more often now that he is teething, which the doctor confirmed. He had his four-month checkup on Wednesday, November 25. His stats were the following:
- Length: 24.5 inches
- Weight: 15 lb 3 oz
- Head Circumference: 40 cm
He also had the joy of the following immunizations:
- DPT (diptheria, pertussis, tetanus)
- Hib (Haemophilus influenza type B)
- Polio
- PCV7 (Pneumococcal)
He was sore and cranky for a day, but recovered nicely again. His next appointment will be in two months, when he will be 6 MONTHS old!!! I cannot believe it. He is growing up so fast!
We had a great weekend overall, without mentioning of course the two painful losses incurred by both Georgia Tech and Florida State. I don't think anyone will claim that Jack has been good luck for either team!!
More to come soon. Lots of love from cold New England.
