A Very Trying Few Days...

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. Bishop has been very fussy lately and I have been frustrated with him.
This weekend was nice and quiet for the most part. It was great.
Monday was Bishop's 6 month checkup. He is weighing in at 17lbs 8 oz, and 25 3/4 inches long. Also he has an 18inch head circumference. He is in the 75th percentile in height and weight but 90th percentile in his head circumference. I hope that means that he is just really smart. Pobrecito did, unfortunately, had to get 4 shots in the legs and he was not very happy about it. We are now going to give him two meals of rice cereal and fruit twice a day along with his bottle. We found out that he might not be ready for peaches yet but we will start including carrots and other veggies into the mix over the next few weeks. After his appt Bishop was fussy. Partly because the shots, partly because of the cold he is getting but mostly because of his fever and teething. He has another tooth coming in, it's the same one that has been coming in for about a week or two now. It is really giving him some trouble. I can see it trying to break through. His poor little gum is red and raw but that tooth just won't come through. He has developed a new cry. Ok maybe not a cry exactly, it's more like a high pitched yell. And he yells every time I am out of his line of vision. That means even if I am a foot from him but he happens to have turned over. The first day was rough, then Tuesday was even worse. I feel bad for him I know he is miserable but there isn't a thing I can do but pick him up and keep him comfortable.
Today seems to be much better. he has been smiling and happy for the most part. He loves laying on our bed and playing with my face. And we have discovered a GREAT CD set. For anyone who is interested http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/mediaplayer.asp?ean=011661811928&track=2&disc=1 Bishop loves the song "Sing Verdi Very Loud" It comes on Noggin music channel and when it does he stares at the TV and me, because I am usually singing along at the top of my lungs, and just laughs out loud. I am hoping to get the set so I can play it for both boys. Hopefully they can learn an appreciation for opera and classical music. I wish I hadn't given up singing when I was young but that is a story for another day. Bishop loves to sit in my lap and watch me type. He bangs on the laptop as I type and I have to turn off the mouse pad so he doesn't make my computer do things I don't want it to. Maybe he'll be a techie like his Daddy.
I am so excited. Tonight our friend Jean is coming over to watch LOST with Jason and I. She loves hanging out with the boys and she and I are a lot alike only somehow she has that filter between her brain and her mouth. Unlike me who just blurts out whatever comes to my mind.
Well I better go and get dinner going for tonight. Plus I am tired of deleting what Bishop keeps typing. :)
