First Illness, First Vardaman Taters, First Ole Miss Game...

Lots of firsts this weekend! Oma and Jiggs came in Friday night, and not long after they got here, Max got a little fussy. We realized he felt warm, so we took his temp and it was 100.6! We were worried, because I found out this week that a girl I work with had the H1N1 virus, or swine flu. He had a little fever off and on throughout the night, and Matt and Oma took him to the dr yesterday morning while I was at work. Luckily, the doctor said it's just a little baby cold or other virus. He was a little fussy and pretty far off his routine yesterday, but today acts like he feels great and is sleeping great!

Yesterday was Max's first experience with solid food other than cereal. I've decided to try to make at least some of his baby food (thanks for the idea Mariah!), so Oma brought some Vardaman Sweet Potatoes and pears to get us started. She baked the potatoes and we pureed them, froze the ones we aren't using right away in ice cube trays. Max got to try them for the first time yesterday afternoon, and it was a great success! We were worried he wouldn't like the runny texture, because he likes his cereal pretty thick, but he loved them! Ate about 1/4 cup in about 3 minutes! We have to start slow, introducing new foods every 4 days or so to make sure he isn't allergic. We'll either do pears or squash next.

Today is Max's first Ole Miss football game! He (well, really his Daddy) is SO excited! Here are a couple of pics of him getting ready for the game. Thanks Aunt Cindy for his Ole Miss gear!

Hotty Toddy everybody! Have a great rest of the holiday weekend!!
