First Pearly Whites


Well Jason has cut his first teeth & they have not come quietly. Like his sister, the bottom two teeth have cut at the same time. Unlike his sister, he has not handled them coming in that easily. The last few days with Jason have not been a treat. He has either been OK or the very opposite of OK. I don't think that I can think of a time in the last three days where I would describe him as "happy" for a length of time greater than 20 minutes, but he has not always been miserable either. When he is miserable, you are constantly being his taxi & it doesn't necessarily do much to improve his mood.

Surprisingly enough though he did not wake to be fed until 5:55am this morning!!! He woke up about 3 or 4 times through the night, but I would hear him just talking to himself & then either he or I fell asleep after about 10 minutes. So maybe there is hope that by 7 months he will be going through the night consistently. I talked to the doctor yesterday about his night feeding & she said that until 9 months it is normal...so hopefully he drops it before then.

He was weighed & measured for his 6 month visit yesterday & weighs in at 17 lbs 4 oz and is 67 cm long (approx 26.5 inches). I am not confident in the length being correct since we wouldn't straighten his legs out for the nurse.
