Today is a little bittersweet! You are 6 weeks old today, but that also means that in 6 weeks I have to go back to work and you will be heading to some sort of daycare. You continue to grow like a weed and you are gaining weight. At your 6 week appointment you weighed in at 10 lbs 4 oz, which is 3 lbs 4 oz more than when you were born! We went into the doctor knowing that you would get your shot for pertussis (as there has been a breakout of it here in Bozeman), but little did we know that they gave you all of your 2 month shots! You were a trooper through them though…you cried really hard, though soothed easily with breastfeeding…your Mom and Dad were so proud of you! We just had Grandpa and Grandma Anderson visit and I really think that you loved the extra attention and especially the cuddling and kisses! They were so thrilled to watch you smile and “talk.” Today we are headed to Billings to spend Thanksgiving with Pappa and Munga Reinhardt. They are going to be excited to see how much you have changed! Auntie Brooke and Uncle Jeremy were here last night with Bohdan and Meridian on their way up to Missoula! So needless to say, we have had a busy past week. You are still a really good baby. You are sleeping well and eating well. You still get so mad when we feed you a bottle. As soon as we take the bottle away to burp you, you cry. The instant we put the bottle back in your mouth, you are as happy as can be! We were able to catch a small video of it, but it does not even compare to how mad you actually get. You have been smiling now for about 2 weeks and it is so fun to get you to smile! It just warms my heart! You are even starting to have some reciprocal “talking” and your pediatrician was even impressed with it! Tummy time is going well and most of the time you even seem to enjoy it! You get your legs moving so hard and fast that you have almost rolled yourself over…even though it would totally be an accident…it is still fun to watch! You continue to awe your mom and dad with your growth and development! We love you so much!
