The fair, a cold and some shots, plus real food...sorta!

   We started out the last few weeks with a trip to the Orange County Fair. We had a great time eating junk food, looking at some baby animals, listening to some music, and walking the fabulous Hall of Products(my favorite part:).  The very next day however, our little man got his first cold. Lots of congestion, a fever, runny nose - the works. Poor guy! It stinks that at this age there really isn't much you can do except a humidifier and Tylenol.  But even though he felt crummy, he was pretty much his happy self. 
   About a week after his cold, we went in to get his shots on Aug. 15th.  I am happy to report that he is a very healthy baby. He weighed in at 18 pounds, 12.5 ounces and was 26.5 inches long.  He was great throughout the whole visit and did not cry once during his shots! I was such a happy mama!  The doc also gave us the green light and told us to start feeding him "real food" as in single grain cereals and green veggies. Can't believe it is already time for food! So far he seems to love eating with a spoon and has been awesome.  It is fun to watch him pass all of these milestones. Even though he still NEVER sleeps, he is such a happy baby. Jeff and I feel sooo blessed to be his Dad and Mom!
