The official 1 month countdown has begun! Watching a child grow really helps you understand how fast time really does slip by. Maybe this is why some people have 6,7 or 8 children because that first year goes so fast they just want to keep reliving it. Who knows. What I do know is this...I have one of the cutest, sweetest and most precious boys in the world. Here is what is going on with him these days....
What he is doing:
Still a lot of the same things motor wise.
***Crawling like a speed racer, Pulling up on anything stationary (and some things not stationary), and Cruising alongside anything he can hold onto. He is transferring from one piece of furniture to another a lot more and every once in a while he will stand hands free for a few seconds until he realizes what he is doing and quickly holds on. I'm not sure that walking will happen too soon, he just doesn't seem brave enough (or steady enough) to take some independent steps just yet.
*** Drinking from a sippy cup all the time. He transitioned quite easily at home and not so easily at the sitters. I tried to go cold turkey at the sitters and for three days he only drank half of his milk for the day, so we went back to one bottle at the sitters and the rest sippy cups and that went much better. Hopefully we can phase out that last bottle this week.
***He is getting better at climbing and stepping up on to things.
*** He claps for himself and when you sing "If you're happy and you know it" or the B-I-N-G-O song using his name instead of Bingo.
***Drinking Whole milk. I started offering whole milk this past weekend, and since he drinks his breast milk from the fridge, the transition seems to be happening seemlessly.
***Talking more. We have added Daddy and Book to our vocabulary.
What he loves.
*** Most of the same things from last month.
*** He loves to open and close any sort of door. The swing gates, cabinets, real doors, and his little play door.
*** Bubbles.
*** The fish tank.
*** Sitting at the front door and watching the happenings of the critters who live outside.
*** Watching the digital picture frame
*** Playing in the back of Mama's truck and watching the big cars drive by.
