You sit up really well on your own in the gorilla stance, facing forward and leaning on your arms. You have perfected the fake laugh and fake cough and love to do it just so we laugh.
Deciding between crying and laughing is sometimes a hard thing for you to do- so you do both. Long gone are the 3-6 month clothes and you are getting so big every day.
You are presenting with all the weird symptoms of teething: drooling, coughing, tugging at your ear and fussiness. My happy little man has been so upset for the last few days- only lots of hugs and kisses makes him feel better... and maybe a little ice for those gums. While I am a nurse, I am not a doctor and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't an ear infection or anything to worry about- Gram took you to the Dr today and she confirmed that in fact you are JUST TEETHING. My poor babe will have to suffer a little bit longer before those chompers pull through.
You are a professional roller-over and it's not just gravity pulling that big head down.
At your four month appointment she said you could start rice cereal and move on to fruits and veggies if you were doing well. You didn't like the rice cereal at all- Yuck! You loved apple sauce- still your favorite- and have had a great time with the sweet potatoes. Peas were not such a success but you really liked the avacado that we tried! Went a little hippy and made all of your baby food so far- let's see how long this lasts :)
