The Heidt Family: What is the plan? I don't have one...

Well, it seems that teething has all sorts of things changing. William is now the proud owner of some pretty fuzzy hands compliments of having his hands in his mouth constantly and putting them down on fuzzy things like carpet, blankets, clothes, my hair, etc. He also has been changing his eating/sleeping patterns quite a bit in the last few days. I don't know if he is coming or going or vice versa. He refused 2 feedings today and woke up at 5:40 am instead of his usual 8:30 am. We don't actually see the teeth, but the swollen gums and indentations are there. Makes visiting and planning a little difficult.

Any way, we have had two very nice days in a row regrouping after seeing so many people over the weekend. William was thrilled to see his friend Jacob today (and Robyn also)! They drove in from the cities today to see us (and his grandparents). William was fascinated by Jacob's crawling, standing, sitting and rolling talents. He couldn't take his eyes off of Jacob until he decided to crash for a little nap. This evening, we also had some great guy time (not counting me of course). It was Grandpa, Uncle Mike and William at home tonight because Grandma had a meeting to go to. He really enjoyed the one on one time with both Uncle Mike and Grandpa - both of them are really good at sharing him when other people are around. Uncle Mike taught William a little bit about playing a pretty violent video game and Grandpa and William spent some time looking at tools in the "shop".

In other news, William is sitting up by himself for longer periods of time without tipping over and today I noticed him reaching for toys while he was on his stomach. We are getting soooooooo close to rolling over from his back to his front. It is so fun to watch him change! The other big thing happening for us is that we have started giving William medicine for a suspected reflux condition. I'm not really sure how I feel about the whole thing yet, which is why I haven't talked about it. Some days I am sure we are doing the right thing, other days I feel the opposite is true. Right now, we are just trying out the medicine to see if things improve and we will be talking things over with his ped. during our upcoming 4 month visit. Here are some pictures from today...
