Crawling!

It is official. Nathan started crawling on Tuesday evening. Picture it... Alameda... 2010 (flashbacks of Sophia from Golden Girls come to mind??) Toni and Nathan are sitting in the living room, watching the news. Toni is on the couch cleaning up the high chair and Nathan just sat on the floor to play. The meal selections were green beans, yogurt, and a handful of Cheerios. The bright yellow box for those Cheerios is on the floor. As Toni is wiping the spray of veggies off the high chair, she notices her little guy crawling hand knee, hand knee, wobbly but confident, toward the giant sunny box. Toni jumped for joy... Nathan turned and shot a glance like what mom? This is mine, right? Toni bolted for the video camera but of course, Nathan started his nap meltdown so filming at this moment was not going to work. The next opportunity came post-nap when Nathan, yet again, hand knee, hand knee, wobbly but confident, toward his favorite toy... rings! This time, Toni captured each and every thunderous move on video. Look out world, Nathan is taking it by storm!

Kisses!

Expanding Food Selections

Today Nathan tried Cheerios and enjoyed it. I can't decide if it is the food itself or the fact that I am feeding him that he enjoys. Since his 9 month check up I have been doing my best to introduce new foods. His diet now includes breastmilk, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, shredded cheese, plain yogurt, oatmeal, cheerios and water. I tried bananas and peaches but he hasn't yet acquired the taste. It will come, I'm sure.

His favorite food of all the ones mentioned is yogurt. I had to buy 2 tubs this week instead of 1 because he gobbled up so much that it did not last a week. Instead of sharing it with Nathan I decided we should each have our own.

He is working on the grasping motion with the cheese and cheerios and I know that will come in time. The hardest thing to deal with while he is eating is how much he tries to grab the spoon. Ohhh, that is so annoying!

He has 2 prominent teeth now! Both lower incisors have come in. I wonder which will be next?? Be sure to vote vote vote!

Kisses,
Toni
