Here are the highlights from the last 2 months:
- We celebrated Thanksgiving! S's first. It was great. S ate candied yams and mashed potatoes. He still eats yams but we have added oatmeal, avocado, and applesauce to this diet. We are going to try carrots, pumpkin, peas, and green beans soon. I am excited.
- The nurse asked at his checkup: "What are you feeding this kid? He is the size of a 9mo old!" I am thinking this is a compliment.
-Becoming more vocal. Grunts a lot and babbles all the time....
-Started solids officially. A friend of ours has a boy just a couple months older than Shane and had a TON of extra pureed foods that her boy didn't want anymore (he is on to table food). We had fun with that.
-There are a lot of things that happened between Shane's 6th and 7th month of life. He had is first Christmas (spent it at an italian dinner, pretty yummy)
-He can completely sit up on his own.
- He is staying up longer and is coming more into his own of his personality. (Sweet and funny, but a little stubborn).
-We are working on crawling and scooting. Not very successful however. Shane does well for about 5 mins on his tummy (if he has distractions) and then starts to fuss. I work with him for another 5 mins. trying to distract him, but it's not all that easy....
-He has 2 solid bottom teeth and really likes to gnaw on things, including my finger. He has only bitten me twice while nursing. But not too hard. If so, we would not be nursing still.
Lots of other things have happened, little things like discovering moving toys back and forth from hand to hand. He follows sound. He has started Stranger Danger looks and knows Mommy and Daddy. It is fun to be loved and have a little person be excited when you enter the room.
I can't think of any more little things off the top of my head (thus why I need to write more often.) But here are some pictures from the last couple of months.
Here are only a few because the rest are on Ron's phone and he is at work, but I HAVE to get these pictures up!
