I've heard Mom and Dad say the phrase, "Where does time go?" and I think I'm starting to finally figure out what that means. I feel like I just wrote in my blog, but the last month has whipped right by!In the last month I have mastered many things and I continue to grow and grow and grow (despite what Mom wants). I have the art of crawling down and have moved on to pulling myself onto things. My favorite thing to climb on is my bouncy chair and my musical tree (thank you Auntie Lynsie). One thing I have learned is the steps to pulling myself up onto things has been (literally) a bumpy road! I have taken my share of falls and bumped my head, but it's getting better!
One thing I have enjoyed since birth has been bathtime. Well, Mom and Dad took me swimming at Mom's work. I have to admit, it was a little scary at first, but I had a great time!
My teeth have increased to 4. I think Mom and Dad wish I would have come with a full set of teeth sometimes. All I have to say to that is, "How do you think I feel?" As much as Mom and Dad have enjoyed me sleeping through the night, they have enjoyed the moments where I want to cuddle to fall asleep. Since I've learned to crawl and like to get into things, I haven't spent much time on Mom and Dad's lap! I thought I would check to see if Aiden has any teeth while he was visiting, but I couldn't find any!
I have my 9-month appointment next month! I continue to eat really well and so far I have enjoyed everything Mom and Dad are serving up! My favorites continue to be sweet potatoes and pears. Dad says I have his taste buds!Okay, onto some fun stories and pictures. This past weekend Aiden, Adrian and Jeni came to visit. One thing I definately wanted to show Aiden is how to swim! So that's what we did. Aiden was a little scared at first, but he became so comfortable and relaxed we thought he was going to fall asleep.
After swimming, we played around the house. I really enjoyed showing Aiden all my toys. Aiden is big enough that he is able to play in my saucer. He had fun in there!
Because I'm the older one, I thought I would be showing Aiden all the tricks, but he is able to do something that I can't...eat his toes! That's right, he loves eating his toes and I have a picture to prove it!
It was another great time with my cousin! I wasn't sure when I would get to see him again, but we are taking a family trip to Wisconsin Dells in March because Mom has a work seminar. Aiden, Adrian and Jeni are going to join us for the weekend. So, that gives you an idea when I will be writing again :)
Love to all,
Simon
