Developments

I want to make sure I don't lose track of things I want to look back on and remember. So here are some bullet points:

• Cheeks is now pulling himself up and furniture cruising all over the place. He still lacks the confidence to let go and stand - but I don't think that is too far in the future.

• The boy LOVES rice! He will gobble it all up - and ate an entire bowlful last night.

• When he is enjoying food, he gets a closed mouth smile on his face and goes MMMMMMMMMMMM!!

• All Cheeks wants to do is stand in the bathtub - it's making bathtime quite difficult. We tried a tip from Grandma G - the letters that stick to the side of the tub - that seemed to increase the amount of time sitting - we'll see how it progresses!

• His favorite way to conversate at the moment is "YA YA YA YA YA YA".

• He has begun to give kisses! He is selective in who receives them though. Always Grandma G on the phone, and himself in the mirror LOL

• His hair has begun to curl :)

• He still loves when we sing to him.

• Last night, I started a new tradition - he now picks out what stories he wants to read before bedtime. I lay out a few for him to choose, and he definitely has his wants when it comes to storytime.

• He would rather feed himself than be spoonfed; however, when it comes to the bottle, he has regressed, wanting his Mama or me to hold it for him.
