Good Days

We've been consistently having good days here. Jack is starting to get into the rhythm of nap/bed times and is sleeping through the night. He LOVES to eat and makes grunting noises as soon as he gets buckled into his booster seat. It's hard not to laugh at him as he's shoveling food into his mouth with both hands while giving us air kisses. He's also starting to understand our english words more and has learned how to sign several things like dog, more, eat, all done and a few more.

Yesterday we took him to the pediatrician for his first check up. He had blood drawn for testing and was given two shots. Needless to say it was traumatic since the nurse had to basically lay on him to keep him still but he bounced back immediately. Hopefully he won't remember it as a bad place.... We were told he is very healthy and is now practically in the 50 percentile. What an amazing blessing to hear since we were told he was in the 3% only 6 months ago.

That's all for now as I have to catch up on things while Jack is asleep. My love to everyone!

Oh, how cute he looks when he eats. It looks like the bibs are coming in handy, and looks cute with it on.

Poor little guy having to get two shots, but I am happy to hear that he is in good health.

Thanks for sharing your new daily experiences with us all.. I look forward to future post.

My love to the three of you....

Jack is thriving with you & David; eating well, learning the English language and he had a great checkup! He sounds adorable grunting and blowing kisses while eating; he is happy with your cooking.
