This month has been great, the weather has been so nice that we have been spending lots of time outside and AJ loves being outside. The one problem with that is that he is still just a crawler so he ends up filthy by the end on the day. He also loves water so with the addition of a water table (thanks gramma) and his ability to find Riley's water bowl where ever I hide it he also spends most of the day wet. Anthony is now eating so many different things and he seems to like almost everything which is so nice however he still so little. His legs are getting strong he is constantly pulling up on everything and walking around using the furniture for support. He can let go for a second but then will sit down. He has also figured out the stairs and loves crawling up them. He loves getting into anything he is not suppose to, he gets a tunnel vision look on his face and heads right for trouble so leaving the gate to the stairs open for even a minute spells danger. He is turning into a little toddler, I can't believe how fast things go with two.
We started finger foods last month with puffs and cheerios but AJ seems to be growing bored with these so we have been adding more and more. He loves new stuff and he absolutely loves feeding himself. He hasn't mastered the no spill snack cup so snack time is mostly confined to the highchair. On the menu today was the fruit and cheese plate (peaches and string cheese).
Where did my baby go? He is growing up so fast, developing his own little personality. Despite the fact that he has become quite the little eater he is still so tiny weighing in at only about the 8th percentile for his age. This month has been a difficult one, he finally popped teeth #7 and 8 causing lots of sleepless nights and immediately following that he caught Roseola which took him down for a week. Despite these ailments I was successfully able to move him from my room into Casey's room and they are now officially sharing a room. There is still lots of pink in there but I have isolated to one side and his side is decidedly more masculine (except the butterflies). Hopefully this next month we can enjoy a reprieve from teething and illness and enjoy some fun stuff like learning how to walk.
