Oh Happy Baby...

You were not so happy last night. I thought you might be running a fever - I was thinking you might even be getting sick. We went to the doctor today and he said you were doing just fine. Your check-up proved you're 16 pounds and 24 1/2 inches. He said you're very alert, active and happy and he was completely impressed with your leg muscles (thanks to the Johnny Jump up!). Daddy was proud to hear that.

Mommy was out of town the last few days so today was the first chance in a few days we've just gotten to play - we were rolling around on the floor and you were so happy. It was a drastic contrast to last night. You were mauling my face - blowing raspberries all over my cheeks and laughing and giggling the more I laughed at you. You were slobbering all over me - but it was worth it. We had the best time!

And then I realized what had been wrong. I felt it. YOUR FIRST TOOTH! It's barely there, but you can definitely see and feel the top of a baby tooth poking through the gum.

The doctor told us you can eat all the baby food you want...and you are so happy about that. You know any time we put you in your high chair that it's time to eat. Tonight we tried applesauce and, of course, you loved it. In between bites you would stop to look down at Jackson. He will be so happy when you can drop food to him.

Yummy carrots! You loved them - but daddy is afraid for you to eat them anymore because someone told us they might turn your nose orange! HA HA We'll have to get a picture of that!
