Olympics and Cereal
Well, it was an interesting last week and weekend around the Bates household. We had an Olympic Opening Ceremony party Friday night and all that came brought a dish from different countries. We had dishes from America (obvious), Thailand, Japan, Germany, Ethiopia (Dean), Greece, Italy, Mexico and China (Jenn). It was a great turnout, and, as usual we had way too much food. Holland represented France as she had on an outfit Jenn's mom got her in France a few weeks ago.
Holland also went to the doctor last week for her 4 month shots. She was 16 lbs 2 oz. which is in the 75th percentile and was 26 inches long which is in the 97th percentile for her age. She is definitely following in the footsteps of the Hollands with her height and is slimming down quite a bit. She also had her first encounter with cereal this weekend. It was quite interesting as she was trying to figure out the texture and the idea that we were putting something in her mouth besides nasty tasting medicine (she is still being treated for reflux). Her second encounter with the cereal went very well as she started to recognize the spoon and the idea that something warm and good tasting came along with it. We miss all of you and hope to see everyone soon.
