You are getting bigger and bigger and doing so much since last month. You can scoot around backwards all over the living room. You have figured out how to get up on your knees and rock back and forth. You can bring both knees up toward your hands but aren't quite sure how to move your hands forward to start a crawl. You are SO close and will probably be crawling by the time we post your next blog.
You started eating rice cereal this weekend for the first time. You are quicker to spit it out of your mouth as you're not quite sure what to do with it while mommy sits you in the high chair to feed it to you. We've done it twice now and the second time was better and we got more in your mouth than on your face and bib. We followed it up with a full bottle which put you to sleep immediately. Hopefully the rice cereal will help to keep you full and enable good sleep.
You are getting more verbal and starting to babble much more. We are trying to get you to say "mama" and "dada" but right now you are saying something that sort of sounds like "dad". A couple times you have pursed your lips together and tried to make race car noises.You also just cut your first tooth. It is on the bottom right of your mouth and we know this is just the beginning of more to come soon.
You like to stand in your exersaucer and swing in your upright swing as long as you can see where everybody is and be in the middle of the action. You are so cute and continue to have such a sweet demeanor. You are a very easy and good baby!
