What a fabulous weekend! We visited family in Novato, then all stayed overnight with Grandma, followed by a trip to
Train Town in Sonoma. We then had a leisurely day of gardening and BBQ with friends. Every weekend should be a three day weekend :-) Graham was especially cranky Friday, and had probably his worst night ever of sleep Friday night. It wasn't until the next day I discovered why. His top lateral incisors had both cut through. Sunday his bottom left one cut through- three teeth coming in at the same time made for a drooly, snotty, cranky baby! But he still seemed to enjoy himself overall. This last week he mastered getting small bits of food to his mouth and mashing them with his teeth and swallowing without choking. He is very excited about feeding himself, and I can't wait to gradually introduce some finger foods to his repertoire. In other news Gwen had an allergic reaction to Bay Shrimp: three hives broke out around the outside of her mouth then disappeared shortly after I said she couldn't have anymore shrimp. So we have a temporary ban on shellfish until her pediatrician can test her. Another great milestone we reached: Gwen and Graham can take a bath together (makes bath time much easier for Mama and Daddy). Graham is so good at sitting, he can sit on a bathmat and stay put. And Gwen is pretty good, so far, at giving him space (the fact that he splashes waving his arms like a mad man helps her keep her distance).
Graham feeding himself pieces of
Kamut Puff.
Graham's hair is starting to come in and the little fluff on his head is one of my favorite things in the world right now.
