Teeth!

You have four teeth now - two middle bottom teeth and two upper lateral incisors. You look like the most adorable vampire baby in the world. :)

We spent your first Christmas at Nana and Pappy's house in Pennsylvania. All of your cousins were there and everyone had so much fun. Your Aunt gave you a pink pair of Uggs, which you probably won't be able to wear until next year because they are huge!

We spent New Year's Eve (day) with friends and were home by 8pm. We were all lame and were in bed before midnight, but you were the first person I said Happy New Year to in 2012. <3

I can't believe your first birthday is just over two months away!

Tooth!

Your first tooth has poked through! We're not exactly sure when it broke the surface, but it's there!
You weigh 18lbs 10oz!

6 Month Visit

Your six month well baby visit was today and you did so great! You had to get lots of shots but you were very brave and barely cried. I don't think even a whole second passed before you stopped crying.
You now weigh 16.7 pounds and are 26.5 inches long!

Peachy!

You had peaches tonight and looooooved them! You kept trying to grab the spoon and raised your head like a baby bird wanting more.

Your six month appointment is tomorrow and I can't wait to find out how much you've grown since your four month appointment.

Watching your doggies

First real illness

We thought your discomfort & irritability was because of teething, but you have your first viral infection. :( You had a low grade fever yesterday and were a little unhappy, but we attributed it to teething since there was also an awful lot of drool & gnawing on our fingers. Your daddy was home with you today & your temperature went up a bit so he took you to the pediatrician. They pricked your finger to do a little blood test and determined that you have a viral infection. I'm staying home with you tomorrow and my plan is for us to cuddle all day!

Hurricane Irene

We're currently awaiting the effects of Hurricane Irene. So far, it's been a pretty uneventful & rainy day. The weather is supposed to get worse as the night goes on but hopefully your first hurricane will be nice to us!
