Food Glorious Food!

A lot has happened since I last posted...

First off, I went to the Pediatrician for my 4 month immunizations (I was 18 weeks old at the time).  I was such a brave boy.  First they gave me this gross oral medicine.  Then, they gave me a shot in my leg.  Then another shot in my leg.  Then a shot in my other leg!  And theeeeeen, another shot in my arm!!!  At that point, my face turned bright red and my mouth was wide open, but it was a silent scream that came out.  Then my voice returned, I cried for about 30 seconds....and then slept for the majority of the rest of the day.  Glad that's over with!

Buuuuut, before all of the "trauma" occurred, Dr. Cohen told me I weighed 15 lbs 10 oz. and was 24.5 in. He decided it was time I begin to eat FOOD!!!  I ate rice cereal for the first week, and then oatmeal for the second week.  Oh, and about a week before I visited him, I found my thumb!  I've been sucking it ever since...which allows me to sleep straight through the night (I've done this for 3 weeks now)!!!



What?  I get to eat solid food now?  Hmmmm.



Bring on the FOOD!  I'm ready!!!





Rice Cereal...I dunno about this stuff.  I have a more refined palate.



Waiting patiently.  Maybe they'll bring me something more appetizing.

Ohhhhh, here it comes!

Really?  Rice cereal, again?

Check out my profile.

This stuff gets yummier by the day!

I've also been really busy playing with some new toys (some Bauby and Zaidy got for me, some Grandma and Poppa got for me, and some Bubby and Zaide got for me -- anyone else confused yet?).  I have lots of fun playing with my various toys and at various houses throughout the week:

Wearing my "Dude" hat.

Look into my eyes....

Sitting at the table with Mommy and Daddy.  They got to eat real food...all I got was this toy.

I'm still busy meeting new people, and enjoying a good old bottle.

Ronnie and I.  What a silly gal.

Grandma makes the best bottle.

I went to one of Mommy's old student's house to have a photo shoot.  Check out some of these beautiful shots:



I'm too cool for school -- it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm entirely too young for school.



 

 What else have I been up to?  Well, I've really been getting around....I went to the Coconut Grove Arts Festival (I'll have to post those pictures later -- they're in Bubby's and Zaide's camera). 

At 19 weeks old, I went to Daddy's softball game.  

Daddy's team lost, but I didn't mind.



I met my new friend Shlomit.  Her husband, Seth, plays on Daddy's team.


  

Daddy was pitching and the batter hit the ball straight back at him.  It's a good thing he has a quick reaction...or I may have never had the chance to have siblings! 

Where'd I get hit?

I was so nervous watching
Daddy get hit by that ball!



Now I'm nearly 20 weeks old, and I was able to go to my first hockey game.  It was SO neat!  I got to watch Mommy's school team win, allowing them to advance to the state tournament.  I loved hockey, but I got really scared and cried when someone blew an air horn...definitely did not like that!

I really liked watching all the movement on the ice.

Well, I think that's enough for now.  Sorry for the delay in posting...but, as you can see, I've been busy!!!

Here's hoping everyone is well.  Check back soon for some new video footage.

Bedtime!

I am 16 going on 17 (weeks)....

Actually, TODAY I am 17 weeks old.  I've been so busy with things, that I barely have new photos to share with you.  But, here goes nothing:

My Great Aunt Karen (Candy's Sister) and Great Uncle Lester were in town from Maryland.  I don't have any shots with them, buuuuuuuuut, I did go out to dinner with them, Mommy and Daddy, and Grandma (Candy) and Poppa (Harvey).  We went to Muddy Waters (a Key West inspired restaurant).  It was kind of noisy, but I didn't mind.  I mostly liked looking around at all of the neon lights!  There was a live guy singing and as I walked past him he sang about me!!!

Mom trying to keep me up past my bedtime...neon signs at Muddy Waters helped, too!

Grandma cooked a phenomenal meal with alllllllll of these out-of-town guests and in-town family and friends.  Of course, I had to look presentable for such a lovely evening.

Poppa and I having a heart to heart.

I'm listening in on all of the table conversations.

Mmmmm, dinner looks delish!

I'm growing each day, but I still fit in one of my favorite chairs....the bouncer!  It plays music and I like to make lots of noises, too.

Happy in my chair.

Pouting my lip, but not really sure why...

Today Nanny Ginger dropped me off at Mommy's work.  I visited a lot of friends and then couldn't keep my eyes open.  I didn't even make it to the car before falling asleep!

Resting while my fingers and toes catch a fresh breeze.
I know most of my family are currently experiencing brutal winter conditions.  All I have to say is...come visit us in Sunny South Florida ANYTIME!!!  Today was 79 degrees, sunny, and beautiful!


Finally, I'll finish up today's post with a little bath time.  Every night I take a warm bath, have some milk, and then drift off to sleep.

Even though I was getting cranky (because I was SO tired), the warm bath water always puts me in a good mood.

Blowing bubbles??  =)



Say what? There is chaos in Egypt and rioters are demanding that the president step down? I hope there is no destablization in the Middle East!



Hmmmmmmmmmm. Dear Egyptian rioters, please don't damage the pyramids, we will not rebuild. Thank you.





Cleaning these two amazing things I've recently discovered...my hands!

So fresh and so clean clean.

I'm all dried off and getting ready for bed.

My hair is getting SO long now.

Usually it's my entire hand in my mouth, but recently I've narrowed it down to my thumb.

It IS delicious!  You're not really going to make me take it out, are you?!
