Dentist / Zahnarzt

Andrea had an appointment with the dentist and asked Doctor Lapidus about Niklas' teeth. The doctor looked at Niklas right away and gave us instructions on how to clean those precious teeth. Niklas enjoyed the visit! We didn't have a camera with us but the doctor just offered to use his camera - nice!

Andrea hatte einen Zahnarzttermin und hat den Doktor Lapidus gefragt was wir mit Niklas' Zaehnen machen sollen. Der Doktor hat sich sofort den Niklas angesehen und uns Anweisungen gegeben wie wir die Wertvollen Zaehne pflegen sollen. Niklas hatte viel Spass bei der Untersuchung! Wir hatten keine Kamera dabei aber der Doktor hat einfach seine eigene Kamera zur Verfuegung gestellt - sehr nett!

New Stats / Neue Statistik

Labels: Stats | at 2:44 PM

We had our 4 month check up today. Niklas is actually 4.5 months old. Everything is great. Even though Niklas is somewhat skinny, there is no reason to worry. Niklas already doubled his birth weight (on average that happens around 6 months). Here are the stats:

Weight:
13 lbs 6 oz / 6070 g
10th percentile

Height:
26.25 in / 67 cm
75th percentile

Head Circumference:
16.7 in / 42.5 cm
(50th percentile)

Niklas is keeping track of our loved ones around the world.

I love my cube!

Thank you for this awesome toy auntie Jo Anne! Look - now I can hold it all by myself. I love touching the surfaces and talking to the little kids on the pictures!

And it tastes good!

Thumb Sucking/Daumenlutschen

Lesson 1: If you're frustrated because you just can't get that finger in the mouth just suck on the lower lip.

Lesson 2: Try these two fingers first.

Lesson 3: Then practice with the middle finger.

Lesson 4: More advanced students can try the middle and ring finger together.

Lesson 5: Masters of this art suck on the thumb.

Lesson 6: Don't forget to take a break and smile.

Congratulations! You completed the class successfully!

Dad hilft Niklas neue Positionen zu entdecken. Knien macht spass!

Teething / Zahnen

| at 8:52 PM

Niklas started teething before he turned 4 months old. The teeth still didn't break through the skin but I can see more of them with each day. Niklas is a tough boy - hardly cries at all!
Noch bevor Niklas 3 Monate alt wurde hat er mit dem Zahnen begonnen! Die Zaehne sind immernoch nicht durch die Haut aber es kann sich nurnoch um Tage handeln. Niklas ist sehr tapfer - er weint kaum!
