"Breaking" News!

Two big things have happened here this past week:

1. Barrett has TWO teeth (his bottom, middle teeth) that have broken through his gums!! (All attempts at photos of this event have been utter failures, so you will just have to take my word on it!) We noticed the teeth for the first time on Saturday, March 3, when Barrett was officially five months old. For the week prior, Barrett had been sleeping (and sleeping and sleeping...); I think he was awake for a total of 15 hours for the entire week! When he finally was awake for more than on hour on Saturday, he was in the best mood! He was happy, playful, and alert, and he has continued to be extremely happy into this week. He apparently slept through most of his first teething experience, and his teeth really don't seem to be bothering him at all.  When he does get a little fussy, we give him a frozen teething ring, and he is a happy camper!


2. I took Barrett back to his doctor again today for another weight check, and our chunky monkey has finally broken 15 pounds! He officially weighed in today at 15 pounds, 1 ounce, putting him in the 18th percentile for his age group. Yay!


Two big events for our little boy!! And, today was a gorgeous, 65 degree weather day in Texas, so we went outside for a little fresh air and sunshine! :-)

Showing off his cute little belly and his new summer hat!
(I love pictures of this kid in hats...too cute!)

Watching the dogs play...

Exploring in the grass :-)
(He wasn't really sure about it at first, but he seemed to enjoy it after a while!)
