Busy Week

It seems like a lot has happened in a week...since last Thursday:

-We battled Weston's first fever and ear infection. (NO FUN!)
-Weston cut his first tooth while being sick. (This makes for a very miserable baby and exhausted parents!!)
-Weston became quite proficient at crawling and now picks up every piece of lint, string, spider, dirt, etc. he can find and immediately puts it in his mouth.
-We find Weston sitting up in his crib when he wakes up.
-Weston now throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. (We are hoping it is a phase he passes through quickly!)
-Weston started eating at least two meals a day and is enjoying it!
-Finally, Weston had his 9 mo. well baby check-up which included: meeting his new pediatrician, Dr. Menagh, who we liked very much; confirming what we already knew- Weston is small (in less than the 5th percentile for weight and the 16th for his height); finding out that Weston's regression in sleeping through the night is to be expected with all the changes he is going through; and, even though he didn't have to get shots this time, he still endured lots of pain with blood drawn and a little procedure we won't embarrass him about.


Oh, and Michael and I do have some sort of life outside of Weston... Michael is getting closer to starting his job. YEAH!! His background check cleared and now he just has to pass two tests (to be able to sell investment securities) which he hopes to do next week! For now he has been studying like crazy.


Okay... maybe just Michael has some sort of life outside of Weston because I can't think of a single new thing that has happened to me this week, but I guess that is how it is when you are a stay-at-home mom:)


To end, here is a picture and video of Weston making a his new facial expression that he makes quite often to get us to laugh. He clearly does it on purpose and will copy us if we do it first:)
