"I like this seat!"

Mack is 18 weeks now and still growing like a weed. We went for our 4 month check up this week and he weighed 16 pounds 4 ounces and was 26 inches long. Dr. Chupp continues to tell me that he is just perfect, and that him being fussy sometimes are just bumps in the road. I have to keep telling myself that when he is not a happy camper. Dr. Chupp upped his dose of Zantac from 0.5 mL to 1.0 mL twice a day and it seems to make a huge difference. He has been much happier since that change! Daddy is still loving his new job and is doing an excellent job at it too! We had our first sit down family dinner this week. Since Mack has started eating baby food I thought we should all sit together at the table. Mack had bananas and rice cereal, which he didnt want, and we had Macaroni Grill Chicken Marsala that was terrible! Mack was still not used to his food so he didnt eat and Shon and I tried to eat ours but I guess we just dont like chicken marsala. :)
He still loves the water so I went to Wal-Mart and bought him a new pool and a Finding Nemo ball. He loved both of them! He kept trying to eat the Nemo ball, it was so funny. He would get it up to his mouth and just lick it! Granna bought him a shark towel and it is so adorable, it has fins and everything! We have discovered that he really likes watching cartoons in his high chair. One morning after trying to get him to eat some baby food with little success, I was cleaning up so I rolled his high chair over to the TV and he was mesmerized! Our TV is mounted on the wall in the corner and all of his stuff that he has been sitting in to watch it is in the floor so he cant see it as well. But with the high chair he can sit up and see it great plus the high chair helps him to sit up straight since it has shoulder straps on it. He sat and watched Yo Gabba Gabba for about 30 minutes that morning! I was amazed! We have had a few car rides lately with no crying which has been nice for a change and he is still doing pretty good sleeping in his bed at night. Im still waiting on some teeth to come in, he is drooling and chewing on everything and has ran a low grade fever a few times so we are expecting a tooth any day now!!!
