Week Twenty Seven

Oh my gosh I am actually writing this post on time!  It is a near miracle considering all the stuff going on, but it is so important to me to record all of the events of your life that I made it a priority!  This week was HUGE, so many firsts, so many changes.  We had a really good visit with your Grandma, she is not really a baby person, but she was on the floor playing with you and had a fun time just watching you.  You unfortunately are having some separation anxiety, so although you are a huge flirt with people, if any one tries to hold you that is not your Dad or me you quickly lose it.  I am pretty sure that you hurt your Grandma's feelings with the screaming when she held you, but you are a little baby and really can't help it.

Your first Thanksgiving was this week, we went to Emilie's house and had dinner with Leslie, Monty, JC, James, his girlfriend, her son Isaac, Josephine, Roosevelt, and of course your Grandma.  It was fun, although I thought that you would be more excited about getting to eat.  I made you a sweet potato mash and you loved playing with it, but acted like I put poop in your mouth when I tried to feed it to you.  We have some funny pictures of the whole experience, basically you had more of a sweet potato facial than a meal.  Your Grandma fed you cranberry sauce, which I am pretty sure is not an approved first food, but you loved it way more than the sweet potato!

We started dry brushing your teeth this week, and found out later that we should be using baby fluoride free tooth paste.  You love having your teeth brushed so I hope that continues since so many kids seem to fight oral care.

You also decided that you needed a few more firsts this week and started to crawl!  It is more of any army crawl than up on all fours, but you can move!

We had your 6 month pictures taken by Tiffany Young here at the house.  The photo shoot was so much fun, I hope that she got some great images.  We get the cd next week to find out.  You were so good and smiley the whole time we were so impressed with your stamina.

We saw Dr Chang Monday for your 6 month check up.  You are doing great, on track and meeting all your developmental milestones.  You are still long and thin just like Mama.  Unfortuantely you had to get 4 shots and 1 oral vaccine.  Poor baby, you were so brave, but it just breaks our hearts to see you in pain like that!

What an amazing week!
