| Playing in his wagon! 16 week |
Things have calmed down tremendously and we have really settled in to our new life as a threesome. I guess this is when things start to get "fun." Personally, I live for his little laughs and can't get enough of him. It's getting harder to leave him to go to work, as his little personality is really starting to shine. The best is getting him out of his crib in the morning and getting a big toothless grin :)
I have been working- 2 days doing home health pediatrics during the week through Sunshine and every Saturday at the hospital. We are fortunate in that both Grandmother's are great babysitters and have been helping us out during the week.
Chris has his daddy days every Saturday with him while I'm at the hospital. I have no idea what they do all day, but Harrison LOVES his daddy. It's pretty cute. Chris definitely gets the best laughs out of him...I feel like they have some secret connection or inside jokes or something. Or maybe it's just because daddy only does fun stuff ...and doesn't do the not fun stuff like sucking out boogers :)
Harrison is BUSY as well! He has been drooling everywhere, laughing, smiling, rolling over (he's very proud of himself), putting anything he can in his mouth (a little scary!) and babbling all the time. Chris and I think he might be teething, as the drooling is getting a little out of control and he is having a little harder time sleeping. It's not bad, but he is sleeping a little less. Anywhere from 9ish to 6/7ish. We started putting his pacifiers in the freezer, per my mom's suggestion, which has helped a little. Don't see any teeth though...I'm skeptical that he's actually getting any, as I didn't until I was over one. Who knows! We are taking everything in stride, as we still don't know what we're doing!

| Sometimes you need to eat blocks :) |
We had out 4 month check up and Harrison is 15.9 pounds (75%) and 26 inches (75-90%). He got some more shots, and handled them pretty well (better than me!).
We have been experimenting a little with baby food this month as well. Rice cereal and now stage 1 foods (pretty much just apples and pears). Although I would like to make his food myself, I'm not sure how to go about doing this and feel like it would probably make more sense to try the organic stuff in smaller quantities first to figure out what he likes before I invest in 2 weeks worth of squash...or whatever. I don't know.
