So, I started back to school January 4. That week we found out that Dan's grandma has stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to her liver and she had to have surgery to remove the mass to make her more comfortable as she enjoys the time she has left with her family. So, on the 8th, Isaac made his 2nd road trip to Missouri to visit Mem in the hospital. It also happened to be my birthday and Dan's dad's birthday. We went to dinner and had a cake while we were there, but I'm told that Dan will be taking me for my birthday soon, so I'll just wait to get my birthday presents.
While we were in the hotel, Isaac became very congested and it turned into his first ear infection. Being the super mom that I am, knew that I should call the doctor on Monday, but waited until our 4 month wellness visit on Tuesday. (don't pass judgement). Luckily it was just the start and we got some antibiotics to help kick it!
Speaking of 4 month appointment...Isaac is now a hefty 15 1/2 pounds and 24 3/4 inches long. (And I'm sure that's changed in the last few weeks) I knew he was beginning to put on the pounds. Besides his ear infection, he was very healthy and doing well. The doctor gave us the all clear to start cereal. He does not like either rice or oatmeal. We continue to try, but he just puts it in his mouth for a few seconds, stares at you and then spits it out. We'll keep trying, but if he doesn't try these solids soon, he's going to eat us out of house at home.
Other things our little man has done in the last few weeks include laughing, drooling, talking to anyone or anything he sees (definitely takes after his daddy), drooling, rolling from belly to back, sucking on his fist/thumb, (did I mention drooling?) and sitting up with a little help. We think he is beginning Isaac is really deciding which toys he likes best and will stick out his pouty lip if you take them away before he is ready to be done playing. He's a busy little man and when he's had enough and ready for a nap, he will let you know! But when he wakes up, he begins to talk and tell you that he is ready to get up...not really a crier when he wakes up.
Also that week I had parent-teacher conferences, my mom's birthday and the Colts AFC South Championship Game. This last week has consisted of more craziness, more Colts Championship Game wins and lots of fun! I can't believe that this month is almost over already!
Well, I think that about sums up this month in a nut shell. Stay tuned for some pictures to go along with the saga.

Both my girls didn't care for the cereal at first either. Have you tried mixing it with a bit of juice instead of water. That seemed to help convince them that cereal is GOOOOD! :)
