Everything
looks good and you are right on schedule and ahead in some places as well. Dr Skurry told us we had better start baby
proofing because you are going to be on the move before we know it. That you act more like a 6 month old already. You roll and go places now and you try your
hardest to sit up. You can tell by the
look in your eyes sometimes you just want to go! Crawling is screaming your
name but you have just yet to get all the steps put together. I am excited and not ready for this next
step. You already have mommy on her toes and before long we will be all over
this apartment!
Last
month in Iowa was great but hard on all three of us to be away from Daddy. You just change to fast little man and time
away from Daddy “you ate yourself” aka doubled in size. You where spoiled or maybe I should just say
loved A LOT by everyone in Iowa no one wanted us to leave. You did not like the pack n play so you
slept in bed with Mommy for the month and now we have some bad habits/ sleep
training to do to 1. Get you back in your crib and 2. Not eating as much through the night. We have had a big regression and I am sure a
big part was all the change in life you have had this month.
We
started cereal (oatmeal) at night and you where a pro at eating. Then I decided to be nice and add a little
flavor and try banana oatmeal but you
thought that was horrific. You where gagging on it! And since you have decided
you are not really a fan. After our
appointment the Dr told us we need to be doing rice in the a.m. because it has
nutrients that oatmeal does not. So we
have started that and veggies are right around the corner in the next week or
so. HOPING that you LOVE them unlike
rice and oatmeal that you have decided is just not for you! Hahah
You
love love love the exersaucer you sometimes are a wild man in there. You fit in Aunt Baileys a lot better though
when we got back here you can barely touch the floor in ours. I think your two cousins had hers broke in
good! You eye/hand coordination has
taken off you are so fixated on things and everything goes in your mouth
still. You may be teething (your
fangs??? Is what appear to be swollen) and you had your first ear infection
while we where home in Iowa.
I
can only imagine how much more you are going to be able to do in this next
month always has us excited. Growing and
learning J
