Teething and under the weather

From 2009_04 April Photos

I might look pretty content in this picture, but I won't lie to you... it has been a rough week. I have had a bad cold for a week and am on Amoxycilin... and I my gums hurt because I am teething. Growing up is really hard, but Mommy is taking great care of me. She makes sure I get my medicine every day and does everything she can to make me as comfortable as possible.

I found my feet this past week as well! I started eating some baby cereal and it is ok.... I see Mom and Dad eating pizza and all the good stuff...can't wait for the day that I can eat real food. My brother Nicholas is the best... he comes into my room every morning when I wake up to say good morning Sam and he gives me a kiss! Oh yeah... wanted to say 'Happy Birthday Nicholas'.... Nicholas turned 2 this past Saturday.

Next weekend I get baptized so it will be my big day!

4-Month Appointment

From 2009_03_29

 
I am now 4-months old so it was time to go to the pediatrician for a check-up. Mommy made me this nice sign over a week ago and they were just waiting on my appointment before they posted the picture so cut them a little slack.

The pediatrician gave me a good report as I am growing as expected. Here are my stats:

Height: 24 3/4 inches (60th percentile)
Weight: Now that is just rude...ok, it will be in a few years.... 15 lbs 15 ounces (85th percentile)
Head: 16 5/8 inches (75th percentile)

I have been moving around in my walker now for about 2+ weeks and I am starting to work out in the jumparoo. Mom and Dad are working with me every day on sitting up on my own as well as rolling over. Stay tuned for an update soon on that.

My brother Nicholas is now calling me Sam now which is very exciting! Every day he comes into my room and says Good Morning and then he gives me a kiss.

This weekend we are headed down to Grand Mom and Pop Pop Trasatt's shore house.  Mommy said they are planning an Easter Egg hunt so Nicholas will have to help me out this year!

I also wanted to thank Aunt Sheila and Uncle Bill for the Easter basket... I just love the stuffed animal! And, I also wanted to thanks Grand Mom and Pop Pop Pifani for the card and money...Daddy says I am starting to bank roll it already!
