Tummytime, "I found my mouth", and Rice Cereal

Let's start with a health update: Patrick is doing so much better. He is continues to get this steroid and albuterol treatment through the nebulizer a couple times a day, but the cough is pretty much nonexistant and he is in better spirits. He goes to the pediatrician tomorrow for his well visit that he didn't get to have last week. He also got all his 2 month shots on Monday at the free BC/BS carevan. He was a champ and only cried for maybe a minute.

Next, we have been trying to give Patrick more tummytime so he can get stronger and learn how to roll over soon. Let me tell you he HATES it!!! You have to try really hard to entertain him. Picture below.









The new thing he loves to do it suck on his hand. I got out his teething ring and he seemed to like the different textures on it. Picture below.











And last but not least. Teddy doesn't like to follow recommendations. I know he has Patrick's best interest in mind, so I don't fight him on things unless I really disagree with him. So he decided Patrick was ready to try some rice cereal. (According to the pediatricians, you are suppose to wait until at least 4 months). So we bought some the other day and gave a few (3) bites to Patrick. He really seemed to liked it and didn't spit it out. He did really well swallowing. Picture below.









PS. In case you were wondering, dad and Jan got to Denver safe and sound. They are settling into their apartment and are awaiting the arrival of their furniture. We really miss them! Can't wait until March (they come home for a visit)!
