*he likes sweet potatoes now. And by like, I mean he only makes a face on the first two bites haha. But he is the one opening up for more! I promise I'm not force feeding. Haha
*Sunday we started a new feeding plan. I'm only pumping and giving him the bottle, but only during the day. I still nurse at night. It's turning out to be less stressful because I'm not worried about whether he will finish. He doesn't have to be sleepy. It's sad to let go but for now, it seems to be the right thing.
*Tuesday he had his six month appt. 19 lbs, 2 oz! 28 1/2 inches long! And his head is 18in! Yay he's growing!!! He got shots, including his flu shot. He had a rough afternoon, we gave him Tylenol and once it kicked in, he was much better. But then he slept so much that night!!! At least there is one positive if you have to see your sweet baby in pain. I still would never choose the pain though. Obviously.
*we had our first date! Thursday was the anniversary of when we got engaged! Per tradition, we went to olive garden. Peggy watched Dean. I was nervous until dinner. Then I was surprisingly calm. I only checked my phone a few times. He was fine when we walked in, but before he even saw us he started crying. When we got close enough, I asked, "was he off and on the whole time?" And she said that was exactly it. I guess I'm just glad it wasn't the whole time. But I count it as a success. He would be grumpy that time of day anyway. But it was nice to reconnect with KR. A good first run!
* we also formally introduced pears. I pureed some, rather than letting him lick mine haha. He of course made a face at the first two bites but he took to them much faster than sweet potatoes. I also made some apples but we are waiting to try those. (I'm loving my dandy little steamer/chopper!)
*I can't remember if I've mentioned but he really likes to pull himself up. He usually only gets to his knees though.
*he is rocking!! Haha. You know what I mean! He gets to his hands and knees, one leg still a tiny bit tucked. Then he rocks! Getting so close! A few times he even pushed back, back in to the seated position, instead of flattening out on his belly. Oh man. This boy tires me out all ready, and is keeping me on my toes. I can't imagine how it will be once he's mobile! Exciting stuff though!
*my vt's came over, each with small kids/babies and it made me aware they my house is NOT baby proof!! I think that better be on my to do list! I think it needs to bumped to the front of the line!!
*Saturday, KR got off very early! It was so nice!! Especially since his next day off is Saturday the 23rd. And, we have a family wedding that day so it won't be relaxing. Fun but busy. But then! The next week is four days on, four days off (thanksgiving)!! I can't wait!!! I think I can I think I can!!
*teething! I can see and feel a bulge! And he's cranky and not sleeping well...poor little guy.
*he's spitting a lot. Also he makes this adorable motor boat sound, brrrrr.
*k seriously, why is it so hard to find a white dress shirt for babies? That's what we spent all day doing Saturday. Once in a while we find one in a set. But we just want the shirt! And we want the fabric to be normal dress shirt material. Why is this so hard! Haha. We first want white, but are willing to settle for stripes and colored ones. But everything is that checkered pattern or has weird fabric or has a dang animal on it. We also wanted it to be onsie but gave up on that too. Haha. Then at last, we found the magic, fabulous store. They had THREE! one was a onsie! And one was even folded like an adult shirt, plastic in collar and all hahah. For the low prices of between $32-40!!!! Hahahaha. Oh man. Not happening. But I do love that store. Anyway, that was a ramble. I just want to journal this because I won't believe myself how hard it really has been. (This, in no way, is me asking for some! This means you, Linda and Carol! Hahaha. Love you!)
Well I think that's all. I'll be nice and throw in a picture for you all, because you're such loyal and faithful fans.
