He was sick most of the month which made it feel quite long. It was really hard to know what to do to make him more comfortable and I felt like the newest of new moms as I took him to the doctor 3 times in the same week. But he's doing much better now and I think we learned a little bit about how resilient they really are (this picture was taken mid-sneeze!).
He's eating so much these days - I think he's just about ready for cereal and we're looking forward to watching his expression as he gets his first few bites of food.
He seems to have adjusted well to school and we have all gotten the hang of it. We learned last week that 2 new kids are joining his little 8 person class...and they are BOTH named Jack! 3 out of 8 kids named Jack! We told him to make sure and remind them that he was the first one! School really helped get him into a nighttime routine and it's often the highlight of my day. Reading books and snuggling while we listen to lullabies...it's just so peaceful and such a nice way to wrap up the day.
I feel like we're making a bit leap into not-so-tiny-baby land and it's so bittersweet. He's getting heavy, doing so many more things, and paying so much more attention. It's simply amazing to watch him grow but it also means he'll never be the tiny little guy that he was...which can be a little sad at the same time. But so it goes - I know they all do this growing up thing - and I'm real excited to see what next month will bring!
