Got Milk?

Is that a cute little milk cow or could it be young Spencer Paul sitting in that Bumbo chair? Tonight was the first night Spencer enjoyed some Bumbo time, but since he does such a great job supporting his head he will get to spend much more time in his chair! Since babies spend so much of their life up to this point laying flat on their backs, it must be a pleasant change to get to sit in an upright position!

Mommy and the two boys went on an adventure to our pediatricians office today so the doctor could listen to the rattle in Spencer's chest. Even when you are sure you child just has a cold, it doesn't make it any less scary listening to your baby make awful noises when he's just trying to breath! The doctor told us that Spencer does have a nasty cold, but thankfully, nothing worse. His lungs are clear and he doesn't have any signs of an ear infection - all good news! Every time we go to the office, the nurse records their current weight. When Spencer was weighed at his appt one week ago, he weighed 12lbs 15 ozs. At today's visit he weighed 13 lbs 11 ozs! He gained almost an entire pound in seven days!

***Safety Disclaimer: Some of you may be wondering why we are using a product that has been recalled due to children being hurt while using it. The recall is only so that the manufacture can put a safety warning on the box to tell people not to leave their child unattended while using it and not to use the chair on an elevated surface, like a table top. Our Bumbo boy is seated safely on the floor and he is being supervised by adults (that is if you consider his parents to be adults!)
