Peas, Zucchini, Ears and Milestones

So we had our ups and downs this week. One of the ups was that we found out that James likes peas, zucchini and butternut squash! So after all of the gagging with the sweet potatoes we found something that James likes and wont stop eating! He is even eating cereal at daycare now too!

Unfortunately, while James was eating his solids pretty well, he got his first ear infection. This was very unexpected, but we are certainly happy that Dr. O'Connor was able to see us and confirm that James did have something wrong on Thursday. So, we have been struggling with him to take the Amoxcillian, but he is slowly growing accustomed to the sweet taste. The only upside to the doctor visit was that we found out that James only gained 11 ounces in one month -- hopefully he will gain a full pound next month -- but at least he is gaining!

This weekend has also been a weekend full of teething. We can see James' new bottom teeth bulging inside the gums and we are patiently waiting for them to pop through and we will once again have a very happy baby!

James also had a major milestone as he is 5 months old! How much he has changed in such a short time! We even put him in the doorway jumper, while unsure of it, he did start too loosen up and enjoy it. We have also changed his bedtime from 8:30 to 8:00 p.m.! So he know sleeps from 8 to 6 -- we cant wait until he sleeps till 7!
