I am a mover not a shaker. Place me
belly down on a wood floor and watch out! I can spin around and slide
backwards with the best of them. I do have some difficulties with
corners as I tend to get stuck as you can see. But I am taking steps
to overcome this challenge.
I am a drooling machine. If it
weren't for the bibs that Mommy keeps me in my shirts would be soaked as was
the case the other day. I think more teeth must be on their way.
I am upgrading to the big boy car seat
this weekend. Rachel gets the new one as it doesn't fit to well rear
facing which means that I am going to be getting her old seat. First
pajamas, then toys and now car seats I am preparing myself for a lifetime of
hand me downs.
"Backed into a Corner"
Weight Check Countdown:
March 8 - March 14, 2007
(37 weeks old)
At my class on Wednesday I got up on all
fours and rocked back and forth. Oh the anticipation to crawl.
Look out Mommy and Daddy you'll be in serious baby-proofing mode soon.
I am fascinated with Wilson. He is
so fun to watch. I also really enjoy digging my fingers deep into his
fur and then pulling out a handful of hair. Wilson's a good boy and in
retrospect I don't think he appreciates when I do this. Even so, we
have a special relationship. He sleeps in my room and loves to shower
me with kisses.
I had a cold and I am working my way
though my 2nd ear infection and 2nd antibiotic. I am taking my
medicine much better than I did the first time around as it is actually
being consumed rather than spilling down my chin. And yes, I am
feeling better so obviously the meds are working.
"If I spit up and nobody sees it
did I really spit up?"
Solid Food Update:
Readily accepting bits of carrots only to discover squirrel like
tendencies of cheeks full of carrots.
Nickname du jour: Sweet potato pie
March 1 - March 7, 2007
(36 weeks old)
Look at me...I am standing. I can't
officially pull myself into a stand but I can stand and hold on to things.
I stood and played with this toy for over 5 minutes before I started to lean
forward.
Rachel likes to feed me although when she
scoops the food she scoops Rachel-sized mouthfuls not Ian-sized which are
two to three times smaller than what I am accustomed to eating.
I really like playing and I like to laugh
a lot too. I especially like laughing at Mommy while she dances with
Rachel and when Daddy makes silly faces.
"I'm Standing!"
Favorite Chew Toy:
The TV remote - although Rachel is pretty good about taking it
away from me.
Favorite Instrument: The Gymboree
Drum
February 22 - February 28, 2007
(35 weeks old)
I am officially 8 months old! I
learned to clap this week, on 2/26 to be exact. I am also blowing
raspberries.
I still haven't figured out how to crawl
forwards but I am doing a pretty good job with going backwards.
One of my new favorite activities is
grabbing Mommy's hair or basically anything and everything I can get my
hands on including things like plates, salad, etc.
"Look...Teeth!"
New
Foods:
Real bits of greenbeans.
