hot stuff

It had to happen eventually, I suppose.  Zane had his first fever on Sunday and Monday. :(  So like any new parents, we spent some time on the phone with the after hours nurse on Sunday afternoon and took him to the pediatrician on Monday.  I think I took his temperature no fewer than 50 times!  His fever spiked at about 102 both nights, so we stared at the monitor a lot. :)  It turned out that it was a quick viral infection, and he powered through it by being a little whiny and extra snuggly.  Then he stayed fever free on Tuesday and got to go back to daycare today. 

Since he went to the doctor, we got an extra weight check for him.  He was fully clothed and diapered, but he weighed in at 20 lbs 6 oz!  He's getting big.  He's still getting longer and longer by the day, and he made the switch to his 9-12 month size sleepers this weekend. 

In more exciting news, Zane got to try puffs last week for the first time.  He seems to like them, and he even managed to pick up a few tonight at dinner and get them directly into his mouth.  The tricky thing about puffs is that they have a tendency to get lost in tightly clenched fists, and then when you put the puff in your mouth (surrounded by a fist), for some reason it doesn't stay in there...  he's figuring it out though!
