9 Months!

I'm such a big girl now! I haven't had much time to update this blog - between the holidays, stomach flu, pink eye, and now crawling around, I'm a busy little bee! I just started crawling, pulling up to stand, and walking while holding hands. And I am NOT happy unless I am practicing these things - no more sitting still for me!

Eating is going well, I'm starting to eat big girl food! I do not like mush anymore, and I LOVE macaroni and meatballs. I'm on 100% formula, and Mommy couldn't be happier.

I still only have 2 teeth but the doctor says my top FOUR teeth will come in soon. Mommy and Daddy can't wait for that one...

7 Months

Movin on up in the world! I'm now fully sitting on my own and I can even stand while holding onto things.

I'm usually a very good eater and have had many yummy foods - broccoli, butternut squash, apples, sweet potatoes, peas, bananas, pears, string beans, and mango! I LOVE playing with my food on the highchair tray, and making designs with it. I also like to try to hold the spoon and feed myself. Also, I've decided to stop nursing.

Halloween was fun! I was a caterpillar. Mommy calls me her Very Hungry Caterpillar, which is one of my favorite books. My best friend David came over and he was dressed as a bear.

I have taken a new interest in Shmoopy, and when I see her I hoot and squeal. I've gotten to pet her a few times, but she mostly runs away when my hand comes near.

And finally...this past month marked my first vacation! We went to a sunny place called Puerto Rico. It was really hot there, and I really liked going in the ocean and the pool to cool off. The flight there wasn't so bad, but coming home I was really upset, and I let everyone on the plane know it!

6 Months

Happy half birthday to me! Well I've been in this world for 6 months, and what a whirlwind it's been...I've grown a ton and have learned, well, everything I know so far.

New developments:

I'm 15 lbs / 13 oz and 26" - this puts me at the 50th percentile for height and weight - a new record for me! (I was born at 10% for weight at 25% for height). The doctor said Mommy and Daddy are doing a good job :)

I've expanded my cereal repertoire: rice (my fave), oatmeal, and whole wheat (the worst). Next on the list is mixed. I've also started eating carrots! I like them mixed with my cereal, but gag on them plain (Mommy calls me a drama queen). I also like to hold a carrot while I'm eating. Also I've discovered that if I blow when the spoon gets to my mouth, I can make the cereal go everywhere and a funny noise comes out of Mommy's mouth.

I can almost sit on my own now (I may topple over once in awhile), and I feel like a big girl when I'm in my high chair. I also am very eager to stand but don't really care much about learning to crawl.

I LOVE my jumperoo - it lets me jump up and down and it makes funny noises when I do.

I like to hold my feet, and occasionally put them in my mouth. Sometimes I help Mommy out by holding my feet when she's changing my diaper.

I've discovered my tongue and the many noises it can make.

I HAVE TEETH!! 2 of them. They grew in together, bottom center teeth. right now they just feel like slivers (more like knives actually) - and oh what pain! i'm glad they are thru, now I don't ever have to worry about teething pain again....right??
