You are learning new things every day and I just love it! You love watching your brothers and sister and you just want to be involved so badly. They are really great with you and always play next to you or with you so that you can be with them. I can tell already how much you all adore each other.
You're rolling both directions, although you still prefer to roll from tummy to back. You turn around in a circle and push yourself backwards. The other day you were getting frustrated because you wanted to get closer to Buster so you could grab some of his hair, but you kept pushing yourself backwards and getting further away from him. Buster was just sitting there watching until I gave you a little help and lunged you forward. You should've seen Buster jump up and get out of there. hee hee.
You're eating solid food and LOVING it. You've tried bananas, avocado, rice cereal, oatmeal, squash, pumpkin, and random licks of my juice or frosting. You love it all! You sit in your high chair now and not in the Bumbo. You still fit in the Bumbo chair but you lean forward so much to grab everything around you that I don't want you to tip out and it's incredibly hard to feed you in there. You really enjoy sitting in the high chair. You will sit and play with your toys there too while I am cooking in the kitchen.
You outgrew your baby bathtub so now you have a bath chair in the big tub. You are not sure what to think about it, but you tolerate it!
You were the world's cutest elephant for Halloween. I loved it! You wore the outfit for a total of 20 minutes, but it was totally worth it!
You sleep for a few hour stretches on your own, but you do the majority of your napping in my arms and almost all of your sleeping at night in our bed. I pretend it bothers me, but it doesn't. I love having you close.
You went with me to Portland for a weekend. I went up to see my friends. We rode with Kristi and her baby Hayden who is just a month older than you. I told Kristi you were a great traveler and you did everything in your power to prove me wrong! We had to pull over so many times and twice I had to throw away the outfit you were wearing because you pooped all over yourself and I wasn't going to put stinky clothes in the car. We had a great weekend though. It was fun getting the chance to devote all my attention to you for a couple of days. You had a lot of fun with Baby Hayden. You loved looking at her, and talking to her. The two of you were trying to grab each others hands and feet- no doubt to stick them in your mouth. Everything goes in the mouth right now! You must've been teething because you went through so many bibs and outfits that I had to buy you extra at the outlet mall we were shopping at. You were a really good baby in all the restaurants, hardly making a peep. You slept great in the hotel bed. It was a fun trip to have you with me.
I love you! I love watching you grow and learn! I can't wait to see what's next....
Mommy
