Jack survived!! And so did I :)

Look at me practicing sitting up!

I am trying sweet potatoes, and I actually like them!!

Well Jack got his first virus and it happened to be a dangerous one for little people. He got the virus RSV which stands for a really long name. It settles into the lungs and can last up to 14 days. It includes coughing and wheezing and sometimes fever. Jack only had the coughing and wheezing. It also can turn into pneumonia and makes babies more susceptible to asthma. Great. His has been around for about 12 days now but is getting better. It was recommended that we keep checking in with the Dr last week so in a total of 7 days we were there 3 times. However, the coughing is almost gone so I think we made it through!!

And now on to more exciting things than sickness.....Jack is getting his first tooth!!! It is the bottom left. It's already poked through but we are just waiting for it to come in totally. Pictures to follow as it appears!

Jack spent his first weekend away from us. Chad and I went up North for the weekend to relax and Jack spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Peters. He did well.... and I did too :) It was a much needed vacay!

Almost 5 months old!

Jack can now eat his foot!

I am ready for work!

This is Jack talking to his giraffe

We have a squealer!

As Chad greeted me this morning in the living room, he told me that he was awakened by a little piggy squealing wee, wee, wee all the way home. That little piggy would be Jack. Don't worry he is not mad or sad, he is just so happy that he can't contain himself and just lets out squeals of delight. I do have to say that even though it hurts my ears sometimes, it's really cute. As I am writing this Jack just woke up from a nap and is already squealing!

Jack has been trying rice cereal. He gets that he needs to open his mouth but still, his tongue pushes it out. He even wants it, but his tongue has it's own mind! We'll try again soon.

Jack had a great first Christmas. We had a lot of running around to do, which did take it's toll on him, but overall, we had fun. Jack even got to meet Santa! He recieved a lot of cute clothes and toys!
