Catching

Dear Baby Bird,

Catching Up
I found this picture from last month. Forgot to post that you have now outgrown the swing, bouncy seat, and Bumbo. You much prefer to sit up, either on your own, or in your highchair. On your own, you can hold it for a while, but usually tip over and want to be propped back up.

You take 5 bottles each day, about 6 oz each bottle. At breakfast and dinner, you also eat cereal, either rice or oatmeal, sometimes with prunes or bananas mashed in. You go to bed about 7:30 pm and have been sleeping (mostly without waking up, except when sick) until 7:30 am.

Catching Cold

We were all stuck home last week with a really bad cold/flu/bug.  Brother started on Friday, Mom on Sunday, Dad on Wednesday, and you on Thursday. You got a fever and cough and were very sleepy for a few days. You seem to be quite a bit better now, though I think you are working on teeth so it's hard to tell what is causing so much drool and runny nose.  I hope you get back to your usual happy self soon, but you have been a really good sport during all this sickness.

Once we would let you and Brother get close to each other, you had a great time "tackling" his face.

Speaking of sport.... Catching the Spirit
The Packers and Bears played yesterday. I decided we needed a mini party in our house to boost our spirits, so we had some favorite appetizers while we watched the game. (You didn't get any, but soon enough, I promise!). You and Brother wore your Bears gear, although it didn't seem to help.

 Mom was excited to see you sitting up to watch Aaron Rodgers. When Brother was your age, he sat up to watch another great Packer quarterback play his last game.  (See Here)


 Even though mom was cheering for the other team, we still made time for a family hug! :)
Love,
Mom
