Week 38 -Here we go!!!!

Week 38 - Here we go!!!
(5/2/10 - 5/8/10)

Well last week I posted about what milestones that Andrew had achieved or almost achieved. He must have been listening to me, because the few that were still in the "almost" category he went gangbusters on and not only completed them but far surpassed them!

The main "milestone" that I was honestly a little worried about was babbling. At 8 1/2 months old there was no real babbling happening which concerned me. Well I am here to tell you that that little stinker decided to start babbling and babbling, and BABBLING!!! We now have baba, dada, mama, gaga, and goo! And he babbles ALL THE TIME!!!! I have always found it interesting that babies (and older children) will wait until their parents are being driven insane or in a state of panic before doing whatever it is that has caused this stress in their parents! But hey as long as we are moving forward with things, so be it!!

Andrew has also decided to start eating, but he still hates the typical pureed baby food from a jar and prefers "people food". He will eat toast, pancakes, salmon, rice cakes, teether biscuits, banana, and cheerios. He has those silly 5 teeth in the front of his mouth so as long as he can munch with those nothing is off limits. Harder meats like chicken are still awhile away, but as of right now I think he eats more variety than his brother....I think I might like a little sibling rivalry with this and maybe Jacob will start eating more!

Crawling is also EXTREMELY close at this point, just have one pesky leg getting in the way , and three times this week a bedtime of 13 hours of sleep was achieved! We also went to go visit Thomas the Tank Engine this week, Andrew could have cared less, but it will still go down as a nice "family vacation".
