A Week of Firsts

Lots to update on. First Tommy has started eating solids. Well, the pediatrician calls them solids, I think it looks more like gruel. So far Thomas only has had rice cereal. Hopefully this week he will have some veggies.

He also had his first roll over, which Grandma Eileen was a witness to. I finally saw him roll over last night. I was so excited!!! He went from tummy to back twice. First he throws his head to one side (usually the left), then pushes with his right arm and leg, and flips. The best part is how proud of himself he is afterwords.

Tommy also for the first time moved an object from one hand to another. He was playing with his heart rate monitor wire and moved it from his left hand to his right and then went for his mouth. He did not succeed in getting in his mouth but he was able to poke his eye. Whoops. . .

Finally, he ate at his first restaurant. Last weekend Tom, Tommy, Eileen and myself went to the St. Louis Art Fair. We over dressed the poor guy and he sweated and fussed until we got him into some AC. We all had lunch while we cooled off and Thomas did great. I was worried he would cry and people would give us the "what are you doing here with a small baby" look, but he was just an angel.

He is getting so much better at holding his head up. The latest weigh in is 16 lbs! We see the pediatrician again on Friday and will get the official stats. then.
