Anthony had his "well check" yesterday. Our healthy boy weighed in at 20 lbs and measured 27" long. We started feeding him solid food this week. His first food was Butternut Squash and a few days later he got a taste of Peas. We also introduced him to his first sippy cup. He always wants our water bottles when we drink them and we've been letting him sip a little water from the cap. So, we figured it was time for his own cup. Another big first this week: we can see and feel a tooth getting ready to break through! He's not showing much discomfort. But, he is gnawing on anything he can get in his mouth. Our silly boy has started fake coughing and thinks it's hilarious. Now more than ever, I would love to hog-tie him while changing his diaper! If you can get him to stop kicking his legs for even a second, then the challenge is to stop him from flipping over! Although, he is becoming more helpful when dressing; he pulls his arms out of the sleeves or helps push them through and he grabs his shirts and tries to pull them off over his head. We went to Costco (as usual) and Anthony sat up in the cart for the first time. And we are just loving his new little "W" hat from Uncle Jon & Aunt Abbey; surprisingly he didn't touch it or try to take it off.
