Major Developments

I've been so busy catching you up on my southern adventures that I forgot to tell you that I started cutting my first tooth. Mommy noticed it during the second hour of my screaming my head off on the 12-hour drive home from Chattanooga. It is the one on the lower right hand side, and mommy and daddy say that I am handling teething like a real champ (other than the screaming episode in the car). It has kept me up a couple of nights, but other than that, it isn't too bad.

Also, on 2 August, I sat up all by myself. It was pretty exciting and mommy even managed to capture the moment on film. I can't stay up very long, but I'm working on it.


Lastly, I went to the doctor this week for my six-month checkup. I am 28 inches long, which puts me in the 92 percentile for length (which, of course, makes mommy very happy). I weigh 16 lbs. 2 oz, which will probably skyrocket once I start eating cereal and other baby delicacies. I took my shots like my namesake would. I didn't even cry at all. I pity the fool who tries to bring a tear to Mr. T's eye.
