First Tooth! First Cold:( Standing!

What a week! Last Friday, Jack popped his first tooth! He wasn't acting all that differant from usual and all sudden it was there! To celebrate, we let him have a teething biscuit and he loved it!
The next day, Jack developed a light case of croup. So we have been staying home waiting for him to get better. His spirits were never hindered by the croup, he stayed happy as ever!
On Wednesday, Jack stood up for the first time! He was taking a bath and that is his favorite place to try and pull himself up. (Not at all the safest place in the house to work on that skill!!) All of the sudden, he was up with both feet planted firmly flat on the bottom of the tub. I would like to say that I was excited, but honestly, I am a little sad to know that his bath time will be getting shorter and shorter now that he will want to pull himself up the whole time.
Crawling looks like it will be any day now, so Jay and I have been doing lots of baby proofing, but several friends have told me that baby proofing is a never ending job!
As you can tell by the cheeks in this picture, Jack is still a good eater. The only foods that he doesn't really like are avocados, real peas and real carrots. (What I mean by "real" is that I buy them and puree them myself. He does like Gerber's carrots and peas though. Go Figure!) His favorites are sweet potatoes, yams, applesauce and pears. Jay REALLY wants to give him Cheerios, but I don't think Jack is ready quite yet, and since Jay does not know the Heimlich or CPR, he doesn't get a vote on this one. Jay is watching him next Saturday night though, I better make sure there are no Cheerios in the house before I leave (or Dippin Dots).
