Out little monster got his second tooth today. It's the neighbour to the tooth he got about 2 weeks ago. Craig's been calling Shaun's first tooth "Little Chomper" or "Lil' C" for short. Today Craig named Shaun's second tooth "C Junior". What a goof!
Sheri babysat Shaun this afternoon for about an hour so I could go see Dr. Oh about my dizzy spells. He's a laryngologist and also a head and neck surgeon. He did some similar tests to those of Dr. McKinnon and a few new ones. But the result was the same as every other test: normal. So far I've had: bloodwork (during pregnancy), echocardiogram (also during pregnancy), a hearing test (that was done yesterday) and now Dr. Oh's sending me for an ENG. That will test my vestibular nerve by making me dizzy and studying how my body reacts to the dizziness. The appointment will be at University Hospital in London so Mum can help me out with Shaun.

Cereal Man
So Shaun's learned a whole bunch of new tricks recently. He finally proved to us that he really can roll over from tummy to back; we haven't been dreaming it for the past 5 monthsl and back to tummy. He's been doing both all week. But Shaun seems to really enjoy his tummy time so he's not too motivated to roll all that much.
He sat on his own for the first time this week and is able to do it for about 5 minutes before slowly toppling over. He will slowly lean further and further forward until he's kissing the floor and then he'll call us to help him. But it's pretty cute.
And Shaun is getting more expressive every day. He's making so many noises and sounds we can't keep track anymore.
The biggest change of all: he's eating cereal now. He's had rice and wheat so far. He'll try oat tomorrow but likes rice the best so far. I'm just thawing some of my breastmilk to use with it and he seems to prefer that to the formula included or formula added varieties. I think he's ready to extend his schedule to 4 hours, too. Because when his first nap arrives at 9:30 he's not tired yet. Soon - at the end of the month I'll switch - I scheduled his 6 months photos counting on him being on a 3 1/2 hour schedule.

5 Months Old
Our little man is growing up. He's 5 months old. I have the itch for another baby - bad. I'd love to start trying now but then I'd be pregnant through the summer again. Yuck. Our plan is to start trying in the early summer, that way it will be a spring baby - April or May... assuming it will take is 3 months to get pregnant. People were right when they said once you start having kids you can't stop until you're done. Oh, I hope Craig decides he wants 3!
This week Shaun has learned to sit up (but not completely unassisted yet) and to almost roll over from back to tummy. He's a pro at rolling onto his side and just needs to shift his shoulder a bit to make it all the way... soon! He's also started to babble. He goes on and on with da-da-da-da. I'm trying to teach him ma-ma but he's not biting. He'll try and all that will come out is oooo or da-da. What a stinker!
So we ended up going to my parents about 2 weeks ago and leaving Shaun there. It was such a nice break but man-o-man we missed him so much! We'll be going back next weekend to celebrate a joint anniversary with Tara/Wes and Steve/Tamrah. All I know it that Mum is making guacamole. I've never had it but I'm looking forward to trying it.
Well it's 11:30, time for Shaun to eat.
