Hunter getting tubes in his ears

He was happy at this point, and then he dropped a very heavy puzzle on his toe. Not so happy after that. Hopefully the surgery will go well and he will come out of the anesthesia without too much trouble. Should be going back with the doctor pretty soon - scheduled for 8:30.

UPDATE: We are home already (a little after 10:00). It went very well and Hunter is happily watching Cars and drinking juice. He was awake less than 15 minutes after the surgery was complete and we got out of there fast. Couldn't have gone any better!

Jenna – 17 weeks

My goodness, this outfit is cute.  Thanks Janine – we finally spent the rest of the gift card you gave us for Doodles.  What a great store!  You probably can’t tell but the print is America themed, but had some nice pinks and purples mixed in.  Very tie-dye looking.  I just wish the sleeves were long since its ridiculously cold outside.

Jenna had her 4 month well baby visit yesterday.  She is almost 12 pounds, so still in 25th percentile for weight as well as height.  And I won’t tell you how big her noggin is…at least it isn’t off the charts like Hunter’s!  The doctor said she could start solids now, which we did last night.  I couldn’t remember if you’re supposed to do the bottle first and then the cereal or vice versa.  I tried cereal first, but I think she was too hungry, so after her bottle, I tried cereal again.  This time, I was holding her in my arms instead of sitting her in the high chair (probably a no-no).  You know, she’s such a mover that sitting still in her chair just didn’t set well with her.  She downed the cereal – she was opening her mouth when she saw the spoon coming, and she didn’t spit that much out either.  I know she doesn’t look pleased in the picture below, but she really did seem to like it.

Ironically, I looked back at Hunter’s 17 week post and he got his first ear infection in his 17th week of life.  This week, Jenna’s 17th week, we learned that Hunter has to get tubes put back in his ears.  His fell out over the past 6 months or so and he has some hearing loss due to the fluid behind his eardrums.  So we opted for surgery again.  He will have it done on December 29th, so keep us in your thoughts and prayers that day please.
