Sweet Potato Pie

We emerged relatively unscathed from the doctors office. Jackson weighs 15 lbs, 9 oz (Samsonite, I was way off!) is 25 inches long and his head is big we already know that. He is 65th percentile for weight and 50th for the others. Whatever my kid is like the tallest kid in his infant room at school and he is the second youngest. I think the height measurement technique is flawed.

Today he got to be one of the very first to have a new combo vaccine at his doctor (it's already a worldwide combo they just didn't have it yet as his ped office) that cut down his shots from four (suck) to two (ck). I could not have said yes to that faster. He also got the green light for something other than Krusty's Imitation Gruel and gave it an enthusiastic response, attempting to feed himself for the latter portion of his dinner.

We were hoping he would not have another 72 hour schizophrenia attack after his shots like we did back on July 3-4-5 so we could A) rock the veggies and B) rally for the CU football game on Saturday. I think we might get both as A was a total success. After pounding his usual Enfamil, we busted out the organic sweet potatoes from my new best friends at Gerber. Really, I'm their new best friend because the way my child eats I should own stock in their freakin company.

Jason mixed up the OSP with some rice cereal and off we went...I can't do it justice just check the photo. Also worth noting: for the second day in a row Jackson has met a female stranger and put on the biggest laugh/giggle/coo show in all of babydom. It's so funny when he laughs that all you can do is laugh too and then no one gets anything done! I will attempt to get this on video soon.
