Crib Notes - Week 29

Oh, man!  Mrs. Fran read the same books as Mommy.  She is all about having me eat with a spoon.  NO FAIR!  She made Mommy bring in carrots this week.  Carrots!  What is wrong with milk?

Mrs. Fran said I was going to be a good eater, though.  She said I am so smart that I only spit out the food when I'm not hungry.  Well,  of course, I do.  What else am I supposed to do with it?  Do you think there is any chance Mrs. Fran and Mommy will get over this food on a spoon stuff and let me get back to drinking my food like I'm supposed to do?  I'm drinking 8 oz of milk with every feeding this week.  I don't need CARROTS!

Daddy and I play all the time.  He makes me fly and zoom around the room.  And he got me a new exersaucer.  It is so much fun.  There are toys everywhere.  One of the toys is a book with real (plastic) pages.  When I turn the pages, the book makes sounds.  I am so good at turning those pages.  I turn them over and over and over and over...

 

I've been hungry more frequently than normal.  Mommy and I have been getting up to eat during the night again.  I don't think Mommy minds.  I'm pretty cuddly.  She gets naps during the day, too...right?

Peggy Ann McKay

Our little Austin is practicing for his Peggy Ann McKay impersonation.  He discovered on Sunday that he can fake cough.  He spent the entire rest of the day pretending like he was coughing up a lung.  Speaking of lungs, he has also discovered that his work fairly well.  When he wasn't fake coughing, he was testing out his lungs by "talking" at the top of his voice.  He had people in the grocery store rolling in the aisles by first letting out a LOUD wail, which he ended dramatically with a couple of fake coughs.

Today, when I picked him up from daycare, he added to his repertoire of maladies with violent throat clearing, which he did nearly the entire way home.

Tomorrow I expect that him to say, "I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I'm sure that my left leg is broke--" Shel Silverstein

Maternal Musings

With children, you don't call them chew toys.  You call them "teething toys."  Oops!

Snow Days!

New Favorite Food

Austin is not a big fan of foods other than milk.  He refused to even pick up the finger foods we gave him.  He hated rice cereal, and he was certain avocado was a mistake.  But we found something he LOVES. ..bath water.  He grabs the wash cloth and sucks the water out of it like it's his favorite flavor of ice cream.

Maternal Musings

Austin hasn't had a stinky diaper all day.  Is it really possible that 1/2 teaspoon of avocado and maybe 3/4 teaspoon of oatmeal could constipate him?  Surely not...

Crib Notes - Week 28

I had a pretty uneventful week.  I took a few days to get over my 6 mo shots, but I'm better than ever.  I'm getting pretty strong.  I still need a little help, but I can almost sit up by myself to play with my toys.

 

I still love my exersaucer.  I'm so good at playing with all the toys on it.  Daddy took my exersaucer to Mrs. Fran's so I can play in it all day.  The other kids are so jealous!  They all gather around me when I'm playing in my exersaucer.  Look how big I am.

Mrs. Fran had Mommy bring in a bigger bottle and faster nipple for me this week because I am eating so much.  I made it all the way until Saturday before Mommy made me try anymore food off of a spoon!
