The adventures of Deedlebug!


Not too much happening since we last spoke.  We've mostly been trying to take care of Darian and trying to make him feel better...poor guy has been sick.  Stuffy, runny nose, bit of a cough.  Today he seems a bit better, but still not 100%!  We have had some visitor's as usual.  Auntie Morgan came over last week to cut mommys hair and to visit for little while.  My uncle Randy, Aunt Angie, and cousin Stephanie came over too on their way to visit GG Girton's in Winchester.  Angie had not yet met Darian and was really excited to see and hold him.  We had Dee's 4 month doctor's appointment on Friday, and he's doing well.  He is quite small still...12lbs15oz., but he was 25" tall!  He was only in the tenth percentile for weight, but jumped up to the 50% for length and head circumference.  Besides his cold, he is healthy and happy!  Dr. Banter thought he was really strong, and was impressed with his neck and leg strength.  He has really been watching us eat the last several weeks, showing great interest in food, so we decided to try rice cereal mixed with breastmilk for the first time on Friday evening.  It wasn't a complete success, but it sure was cute!  He was eager to try the first couple bites, not really sure if he swallowed any or simply swished it around in his mouth before spitting it all over himself.  After that he started to get upset so we quit for the night.  Tried again on Saturday with similar results.  We decided to wait about a week before trying again, so we'll give it another go this weekend!  Mommy came up with yet another nickname for Darian...Deedlebug, which i think is really cute!  He likes the Deedlebug songs we make up.  He is such a wonderful little boy, and growing so fast!  See you soon loyal blog followers!
