First tooth

Henry went in for his 4 month check-up on Thursday. He weighs 18 pounds 12 ounces and and is 25 inches long. He also visited the chiropractor twice last week. We have heard positive things about chiropractors and prevention of further ear infections, so we are giving it a try. I had to turn away when he did his neck adjustment. It’s not exactly the thing you want to see being done to your baby. He goes in for an ear adjustment on Tuesday, and then I believe we are letting it be for a while. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the infection in his left ear doesn’t return!

Clara spent the weekend in Lake City and camped with Grandma Jane and Papa Nick Saturday night. It sounds like she had a blast with her cousins with a campfire and night hike. Leon and I got some much needed stuff done, mostly cleaning for me and processing tomatoes and baking bread for Leon. Henry has been gnawing on my fingers and whatever else he can get his hands on, and when I felt in his mouth today, he had popped a tooth! At 4 1/2 months old, he is 3 months ahead of Clara’s first tooth. It worries me a little bit as far as nursing him…it will be a first for me!
