Lots ‘o’ updates
Pensive baby
Whenever I have a lot of stuff to update about, I get overwhelmed and don't update at all. I'll try to do this in chronological order.
Last Thursday, Eddie had his 4 month appointment. Nothing terribly interesting came out of it. He's still small (5th percentile in everything), but he is growing. We got the green light to start on solid foods. He got his shots. At his next appointment, at 6 months, he'll be referred to a pediatric urologist and plastic surgeon, and they will all do their thing in one session so he dosen't have to go under anesthesia twice. That's about all we know.
On Friday, we took Eddie out of the state for the first time, to Maryland for Mark's cousin's wedding. The trip was nice, the wedding (and weather!) were beautiful, and Eddie was, for the most part, well behaved. Firsts covered by this weekend were airplane ride, hotel stay, and wedding.
Since being home, Eddie has been having rice cereal every day, and seems to enjoy it. He still spits it up, though. On the weight front, as of last night, Eddie was up to 12 pounds, 10.5 ounces.
We are very excited that, starting next week, Eddie will be going back to daycare. We were able to work out a schedule with them that makes sense for everyone. While we would have saved a little bit of money with a nanny/sitter, we know and love his teacher at daycare and feel that it really is the best fit for him right now.
I think that's all I've got! Four month pictures, wedding pictures, and solid food eating pictures have all been posted to mrbaby.shutterfly.com. Also, the professional photos can be viewed at andreataylorstudio.com. When you get there, click Portraits, Your Galleries, and enter "EddieSecond" for the password.
Finally, if you're reading what's going on here, I'd love it if you'd comment. It'd be nice to know whether or not anyone other than Ellen and Barb bother to read this. :)

Ok, you know I check most every day. But, I’ll leave a comment to make you have big smiley faces. You know I love the posted updates and this is one of my favorite pictures you’ve taken of Eddie. Love you all.

I found it helpful to have people’s opinions on Will’s best professional photos. Also to get people’s sense of the photos that captured his Will-ness that I didn’t see at first. So even if you don’t need opinions, I’m giving them to you anyway!
Okay, so here are my fave’s:
418, 429, 432, 450, 468 (and just let me know when you’re tired of that shirt and I’ll take it off your hands), 508x, 562, 608, 612 (LOVE this one), 631, and 672 I think it s a good companion to 612 and clearly Eddie’s face is saying, “Ooh, ceiling fan, Oooooooohhhhh”
