Week Thirty Five: At A Glance...

Week Thirty Five: Monday, November 19th - Sunday, November 25th, 2007

We had quite the busy week with the start of the Holiday season...The goal is to do a separate post about Alexander's first Thanksgiving.

• Says 'Da Da' and knows what it means...I'll ask Alexander where Da Da is and he'll look around until he finds him.
• Consistently waking up @ 5am this week but still going down to bed aroun 7:30pm each night
• Sleeping has been an issue this week - wakes up @ 5am but will wake up during the night crying & upset. I've tried to calm him, rock him or let him cry it out and nothing works except sleeping on my chest (which works like a charm)
• Does not want to finish his bottles. He'll push it away but then will finish it a bit later, if at all.
• Nods his head yes
  He was great in school all week
• Linda said he had one of his best days ever on Wednesday - constantly happy & laughing
• Still as yet to duplicate an outfit to school
• This week we ate: applesauce, squash, carrots, oatmeal, peaches, pears, Dutch Apples & Apple Blueberry
• He tugged on the hamper, so we put him in and he pulled himself up without help from either of us!
• A bit of the wheezing has returned (lightly) with a runny nose...he thoroughly enjoys having the saline sprayed up his nose
• Had a very lowgrade fever twice this week
• We've given him some motrin sporadically during the week to help with the fevers, teething, etc
• Loves bathtime - whether in his tub or with Mommy...loves splashing!
• Had a lowkey weekend at home after two days of busy family gatherings
