Take a Bite Out of Anything

I have a tooth popping through.  It is crazy.  It didn't really hurt.  Daddy saw it and showed Mommy.  Mommy got really sad because she said it is just a first step in me becoming a big boy.  Riley and Luci both got their first tooth at 9 months and I got mine at 7.  I guess I may be more advanced than them.  We will see if I walk before them.  I think that will be a big thing.  I wonder what I can do with this tooth in my mouth.  I bet there will be more because Daddy has a bunch in his mouth  and I am going to be just like him.  I will let you know how this teething thing goes.  

7 Months Old

I am seven months old.  A lot of changes have been coming my way.  I am rocking and rolling. I like to roll all over the place and I am getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth.  Pretty soon I am going to be crawling, or at least Daddy thinks so.  I am eating all kinds of vegetables and a lot of different kinds of fruits.  Alice likes to give me puffs, but Mommy and Daddy have not done that yet.  Riley and Luci would like to feed me but Mommy and Daddy said that I am not good enough at it yet for them to do more than a couple of bites.  Mommy thinks I am the cleanest eater out of all the kids except for when I don't like something because then I spit it back out at her, but other than that once it is in it is gone.

I like to play with my sisters.  They can drive me crazy but they are good big sisters and they do look out for me.  I wonder if they will still like me when I start getting into their stuff?

Chicago

We all took a big trip to Chicago.  Mommy and Riley are on fall break for two weeks and we are taking the time to go to Chicago as a family.  We went to a cool restaurant called The Rainforest Cafe. It was really cool because it had all kinds of animals in it.  The gorillas, elephants, alligators, and fish looked real.  The fish were really real.  Then we went shopping at the Disney store and we all got pajamas and our Halloween costumes.  I got to ride around in the stroller a lot and in the baby Bjorn.  While we were up there Mommy and Daddy couldn't mix my cereal with milk and I didn't like it.  I would not eat it at all.  It was disgusting!

Grandma and Grandpa came up and met us on the second day.  We all went to the Museum of Natural History.  It was really big.  It had a lot of big things in it, like Sue the dinosaur.  I really liked the dinosaurs.  We watched a movie that had big furry elephants in it.  It seemed like a place with a lot to learn.  Riley and Luci really enjoyed it.  I think that I will like it more when I am older and we can go back.  There really wasn't a lot for me to do except look at stuff and wonder what the heck it was.  It was nice to spend time together as a family.

Rolling Over

I starting rolling over from my back to my stomach!  Riley and Luciana are so excited because they think this is a cool trick I can do.  Mommy and Daddy think that this means they have to watch me more and be more careful about where they put me.  I think that it is pretty cool to be able to get around and to get to my toys easier.

I also do this thing where I push up on my hands and look all around.  The girls like to get in my face and say hi to me when I do this.  I don't really like them too close, but they are funny!  They always talk to me in these weird voices.  I know they can be a little crazy, but I really do like having them around.

Ma ma

 Mommy is so excited because I said Ma Ma this weekend.  I was playing in my exersaucer and she was talking to me and then she started to walk away and I called out to her "Ma Ma".  She was so excited when I called out to her.  I wanted her to pick me up.

I said "Ma Ma" a few more times this weekend, so Mommy thinks that this means "Ma Ma" are my legitimate first words.  Who knows what words will come next maybe "Da Da"?  

First Time Eating Cereal

I ate cereal for the first time today.  I was so excited to be sitting at the table and finally see a spoon coming towards my mouth.  I have been sitting watching everyone around me putting food in their mouths during breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the table.  They never had anything for me until today.  It was a big event too. They took a video and pictures of me.  Riley and Luci were standing around me.  They held my hands down for Mommy to put the spoon in my mouth because I kept trying to grab it.  I really loved my cereal.


 It was so good and I could not get enough of it.  Mommy said that I can have more tonight and from now on will be having some twice a day.  I think that that sounds good.  No not good GREAT!

Six Months Old

I am six months old now.  1/2 of a year gone.  I have gotten so big.  I am still a happy go lucky baby boy.  I like to play with my toys so much.   Mommy says that I play with toys more than Riley and Luciana ever did. I love to sit in my exersaucer.  There is so much to sit and play with.  Daddy can't believe that I am already half way to 1 year old.  I am still very attached to my pacifier.  It is always there for me to comfort me when I need it.

Every morning Mommy wakes me up and then feeds me.  After I eat she puts me on her and daddy's bed to play while she finishes getting ready.  Daddy will come say hi to me and Luciana will come to talk to me.  She really loves to play with me.  Riley always come to say hi and bye to me.  It has to be that quick because she has to get to school.

I can almost sit up.  I am getting really good at it, but if I lean too far back then I just fall right over.  I like to lean over and grab my toes.  My toes are so much fun to play with.  When I lay on my back I like to grab my feet and put them in my mouth.

 I have changed and grown so much in the past six months, it is going to be amazing to see what changes come in the next six months.
