I can't believe that Sammy has his first tooth! I noticed on Wednesday that it looked like there were two whitish bumps on his gums where his bottom teeth would come in. I couldn't feel anything, but it looked like his gums were slightly swollen. He had his 6 month checkup later in the day, and his doctor said she could feel a little tooth coming in. Later I checked myself and sure enough, I could barrrrrely feel a tiny tooth just barely breaking through! Now, you can visibly see his little tooth poking up :) And it's a sharp little tooth!
Wednesday was Sammy's 6 month checkup, as I mentioned, and he's a growing boy!
He weighed in at 18lbs 3oz and is 25 3/4 inches. We passed Virginia (his PNP) as we went to the scale, and she started laughing when she saw him. I don't remember her exact words, but she said something about how adorable he is and how much he has grown. I love going to see her, because she adores Sammy! He's been seeing her since he was born.
I have been busy this week making baby food for Sammy. I finally have figured out how to use the blender to make a nice smooth puree. I have made peas, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, carrots, and green beans!! There's a good supply in the freezer now, so hopefully he will eat them for awhile. His favorite is definitely the sweet potatoes! I gave him some when they were fresh and still warm and he gobbled them up!
Now he is eating solids 3 times a day. Sometimes I give him a Ritz cracker and he likes to chew on it. He usually eats about half of it and drops the other half!
I'm enjoying these last few days of summertime. Tomorrow is my last day off and I go back on Tuesday :( I'm already thinking that I am going to miss so much time with Sammy. However, I am very grateful for the time I have had this summer!!
