Last Tuesday we drove downtown to P/SL to visit one of Jack's roomies from the NICU. The snow kept his other roomie home that day, but we got to see Aidan, as well as one of Jack's former nurses, Julie. We found out the date for the former NICU babies reunion - every other year they rent out a pavilion at the zoo so that everyone can get together and catch up. We've marked our calendar!
Wednesday, Jack had an eye recheck appt. They said he's a little far-sighted, which is normal for this age, and that everything still looks great. We're to watch for any signs of eye-crossing, but otherwise they don't want him back for 2 years.
He's added peaches, butternut squash, turkey, and blueberries to his repetoire. The turkey was in jarred form, mixed with sweet potato and apple, so he liked that. The other 3 we made and he liked them as is. We need to try some more green veggies - so far he only eats green beans and peas. He has started on the chunkier stage 3 foods and is gumming them fine.
He's grown some more hair, but just in the center. He likes the puffs finger-food, although he won't actually feed himself - we have to put one in his mouth and then he crunches it with his front teeth. He loves the tv, and spins his head around to look at it when he hears the remote turn it on. He will take a few "steps" if you hold him upright and move him forward.
The 3 molars that were giving him trouble around New Year's still haven't broken though - they seem to bother him off and on. He's not exactly crawling, but he scoots backward and then pivots around to get to what he wants. What he wants is often the dvd and vcr players - one time he opened the dvd player. He also turned the audio system to AM radio somehow. He's pretty quick with his scooting.
He loves banging on the keyboard - after having to restart my laptop several times post-Jack, we pulled out an old keyboard that's not attached to anything for him to play with. He likes to drop/throw things and have us pick them up for him. He's quickly outgrowing his baby bathtub, but he still seems too little to me for the normal tub. He enjoys napping on our bed, with a down pillow and a blanket.(And it was in the 60s today when the snow pics were taken - in case anyone was wondering where is jacket is.)
