Zeeke still has a runny nose, but the coughing has gotten better. This week he's been discovering his tongue and experimenting with sticking it out. That tongue's gotten a lot of work as Zeeke has been eating a lot of new foods this week: mac & cheese, hamburger, roast chicken, pineapple, and vietnamese noodles, all of which he enjoyed.
Zeeke's getting very good at carefully pulling himself up to standing and lowering himself with great control. He's also getting quite good at managing falls when they happen. He's started shuffling around the coffee table by himself a little, usually to get to something that's just out of reach.
We've resorted to great lengths to get sleep out of him. One day, he fell asleep as Karen was driving him to story time so she just parked the car in FDR park and watched the ducks in the rain while he slept.
Monday, Steve took the day off since we were all so exhausted from Zeeke's sickness.
Wednesday, Zeeke & Karen had a lunch date with Sharri and Nate.
Thursday, Karen's mom babysat and said that Zeeke needed more food, so they gave him some of Steve's homemade mac & cheese, which started the trend of giving him more grown up food.
Sunday, we joined a big group of friends for burgers at Sketch.
