John had a lot of firsts this weekend...we can't blink or we will miss something! His teeth are starting to cut and we could feel the first one on Friday. Teething has made him a bit fussy but mostly he just chews a lot, drools everywhere, and sucks on his pacifier.
John visited Great Grandpa and Grandma Bremer in Big Bear for the first time and spent one night there with lots of Bremer relatives. He did okay for the night away but he wouldn't sleep in his playpen like I had planned. He is much more aware of his surroundings and was a little freaked out not being in his home, any time I tried to lay him in his bed he would wake up, look around with BIG eyes then start crying :(. Steve and I got to find out up close just how noisy and active John is when he sleeps because he would only sleep in the bed with us (a first for Steve too!).
After watching Steve and I eat dinner for the last few weeks John started staring intently at our food and making sucking noises. We decided to give rice cereal a try...and it was a running mess! Two nights later we tried again a little thicker and after the initial shock of a new taste and texture he sucked it all down. He actually leaned and reached for the spoon when I had to re-fill it. I think he will be a good, strong eater :)
John also fed himself a bottle for the first time. It occasionally slips out and gets milk on his face but he enjoys helping out and having something to hold onto when he is without a boob :) We have taken so many pictures and videos I never know what to post and where to start. One thing for sure...we can't get enough of this little guy!
