Hayden's Firsts Part 3

The first weekend in June, Momma and you came to Richmond for the first time for Meg's baby shower. You had been to the doctor that day for your 4 month check up and you received 3 vaccinations (one was oral). You were feeling a little puney and so we gave you Tylenol for the discomfort and Grandad Gammon held you while you took a nap. Later you were feeling much better and helped to open Grandad's early Father's Day gift--you were fascinated with the curly ribbon.

At your doctor's appointment you weighed 17.8 pounds (only the 97th percentile) and measured 26 3/4 inches long (100th percentile) and your head circumference was perfect.


We hung the jumping seat over the door and you had a great time twirling about and bouncing. It was difficult to get a clear picture because you were moving about so much but you loved all the free movement.

You have such a good time with your Rain Forest jumperoo at home that Grandma bought the zoo version for her house. It seemed to throw you forward so that your eyes were too close to the blinking lights and the seat didn't spin as well as yours at home. When I came up to watch you this week, I brought the zoo seat with me and I think we have it repositioned so that your eyes will not be hurt and more use will hopefully make it slide around easier (or a little WD 40!).

Your hands became your favorite toy (until you found your toes--later on that) and you love licking, chewing, and sticking as many of your fingers as you can into your mouth. You have become a master drooler and Grandma thinks you are thinking about having a tooth or two pretty soon.



Hayden you are a blessing for all of us and you could not be loved more.

Like your Momma and Daddy, you need white noise to sleep. They (and you) use a box fan at night and you have your snuggly giraffe that creates several sounds that help you sleep. Sweet dreams little one.

Love always

Grandma
