And now he doesn't have to wait. Gunnar now has 2 teeth. They came is almost simultaniously. No wonder he was uncomfortable. He has also come down with his first cold. It's hard to hear him coughing at night. There has been a couple of nights where he's woken himself up from his coughing. Other than nose drops - there isn't much we can do but let it run it's course. Of course it doesn't help that the entire family came down with this cold as well.
His developmental nurse came by today as well. She is always just astounded at his developement. Some of the things that she's testing.. If he passes objects from one hand to another, if he reaches for objects, both in reach and out of reach. If he looks for an object once it's moved out of eye sight. If he is doing any babbling. How he's eating. How close he is to the next developemental level. She says that he is advanced for his corrected age. He is almost ready to crawl, in fact was guessing that prob. by late Dec. he would probably be crawling and pulling himself up on furniture.
He is now 17 lbs 6 oz. 27 inches long, and his head is 17 inches. This basically equates to his actual age, being only within 10-25%. As far as his corrected age, he is then in the 50-75%. Either way is good. He is firmly on the charts. :) He is eating baby food like you wouldn't believe. He loves food. Sometimes we can't feed him fast enough before he gets upset that his mouth is empty. He has also figured out splashing in water. Creates quite the mess in the kitchen when it's bath time. Looks like we need to start moving towards the tub for these times soon.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so I will probably have some good picutres of him. Happy thanksgiving to all of you!
