1-2-3! I did it!

Audition



Mommy dressed me up and got me to pose to send this photo to a friend. She thinks I'd make a good ringbearer.

Summer Time Fun




I've been very busy since the last time I wrote. I "talk" so much now. Mommy, Daddy and I have great conversations. I like to play with more toys and I discovered the cats. They let me pet them. They are very gentle with me and Smokey even rubbed my feet when I was sitting in my Bumbo seat. I enjoy a variety of baby food now. I'm discovering that Mommy and Daddy eat delicious things too and I want to eat their food. I'm always grabbing for what they have in their hands. The other day daddy was drinking a milkshake and I thought it looked good. I took his cup right off the table to see what it tasted like. I even knew to put the straw in my mouth because I watched daddy. I'm always doing crazy things!

Busy Boy






I've been busy with many things like holding my bottle, rolling over, playtime and eating solid foods. I love bananas and carrots! I even got to hang out with daddy in his office! I make many funny noises, faces and love to laugh(more like squeal).

First Foods





Mommy thought I would be ready to try some baby food since I'm four months old now. I already eat rice cereal in my formula to help my acid reflux. The thicker the food the easier it is to keep down so the doctor suggested solids. I wasn't so sure about rice cereal on a spoon even though it was mixed with formula. I didn't really know what to do with the apples.

Sittin' Tall



I sat in my Bumbo today for the first time. A Bumbo is a little seat that helps me learn how to support myself for sitting. I also got to sit in my highchair today for the first time. I like being at the dinner table with Mommy and Daddy.

Rock-a-by Jakob




I'm exploring new things everyday. Everything goes in my mouth. I have lots of toys that shake and make noise. I have two very special toys, Buster the dog and Tigger. Mommy is always playing with this bug(we don't know what else to call it). She gets it out and sings songs with it or tries to get me to laugh(most of the time it works). She put the bug toy in my swing while Buster was in the washing machine. I kept looking at it, wondering what it did. I petted it and found out that it was soft and the wings make crunching sounds. And then, of course, I thought I would see what it tasted like! Nothing! Then I got Buster back and fell asleep!
