Big Changes

The last week has brought many new things for Trip...

• He had a very difficult night last Saturday. We were puzzled about it until the next morning when I felt a little tooth starting to poke out of his bottom gum! He was somewhat unhappy on Sunday too, but we really can't complain. He's handled it like a champ. This weekend, his other bottom tooth started coming through as well.

• Trip is loving eating solids each evening! He's even gotten to the point of getting upset when I'm eating or drinking in front of him. He wants that spoon, fork, or glass to be going to his mouth instead of mine! Last weekend he got to try peas for the first time and this weekend he started eating sweet potatoes. So far I've made all of his food, which has been fun. I've been cooking the veggies and fruits, blending then up, and freezing them in ice cube trays for easy portioning and defrosting. Up in the next few weeks are pears, apples, and bananas.
  

• He has finally decided to start rolling over now too. He's still not rolling from one place to another, but at least he's figured out that he can roll. He especially likes to go from his back to his side and then to his tummy.
  

Thank you to Great Uncle Gary and Great Aunt Nata for the Beavers outfit so that Trip can root for Auntie Rachel's school!
