January 2009

This month, Koen had his 6 month check up and he was 15 lbs 8 oz and 26 inches long (less than the 25th percentile for both). He's doing well in PT (the flat spot's almost gone) and is beginning to sit up without support. No teeth yet, but he's drooling a lot and has intermittent bouts of grumpiness where he rubs his gums and whines -so I think teeth are on their way!

Other events this month: our trip to Chicago (see post below)was the biggest event this month. We also enjoyed a few birthday celebrations - first my Grandma Jerri turned 80 and we went to Brick 29 in Nampa to celebrate. I'm not usually a big breakfast eater, but, wow - what a feast! If you haven't been there yet, you should give it a try; it's well worth the drive to Nampa!!! We also celebrated our niece Emily's 7th birthday and Koen's favorite part of the party was the balloons. The month ended with Kenn's backcountry skiing trip in the Pioneer Mountains with his friend Jade.

Firsts this month: first plane ride, first trip back east, and first attempts at sitting up without support.
