Unvle Nick is visiting

11-4-01: Monday, Jessica and Mommy went to Houston's with Chuck Gutro for lunch. Jessica went to Dr. Schwanke in the afternoon for round of shots and well baby visit. She took an anemia test and was borderline anemic. Jessica dropped to the 25th percentile on the weight and height scales. Dr. Schwanke said that it is a normal reading based on his patients who are breastfed and more active from 9 months to 15 months. He provided us with a list of iron rich foods for Jessica to start and prescribed an infant multi-vitamin that included iron. Tuesday, Jessica went to the library with Madeline Hoft Rafa and Kristen Rafa for song and book hour. Wednesday, Jessica and Mommy met up with Lee, Tree, Nicholas, and Sophie Cooper and Madeline and Kristen Hoft Rafa at Golden Gate Park. Jessica enjoyed playing in the sand at the park. Kristen, Madeline, Mommy and Jessica had a sushi lunch to celebrate Kristen's birthday after playing in the park. Thursday, Jessica had lunch with Uncle Matt B. and Aunt Erin at the Window. Uncle Matt introduces Jessica to playing with ice cubes. She loved that activity so much, that Uncle Matt barely got an opportunity to eat. Friday, Jessica and Mommy met Chris Rucker for lunch at Cafe Ethiopia. Jessica left Daddy a voicemail at work. Listen to it by clicking here. Uncle Nick arrived in town Friday night for a weekend visit. Jessica slept in Mommy and Daddy's room in a pack-n-play that the Coopers lent us. She does very well for two nights, sleeping through most of the night on her regular schedule. Saturday, Chris Rucker, Michael and Mo, Uncle Nick, Uncle Dan, Mommy, Daddy and Jessica all hung out at Duncan for dinner. This week, Jessica climbed up one stair and then successfully climbed three stairs a couple days later. Jessica also started eating lentil beans this week. She does not like them unless they are served frozen in ice cube form (much like the rest of her food.)
