“Da da da da…”

 

I normally don’t get the chance to blog on Fridays…we are usually cleaning, shopping or traveling somewhere. While Jaxson takes his “cat nap” I wanted to write about a few things he’s been doing this week. He has been running in the walker. I will probably have to bubble wrap everything in the house, including the dogs. When the dogs see or hear him coming in the walker, they run to a carpeted area :) Smart puppies…he has also figured out that while in the walker he can reach things- decorative dishes, potted plant, cabinet handles….NOT GOOD! While we ran a few errands today, I decided to try him in the buggy, normally I tote him in the carrier but it’s almost getting too heavy for me to carry. I think he enjoyed sitting like a big boy, until he got tired and was ready to lie down. Tuesday morning while I was getting ready for work, I noticed him saying syllables…it actually sounded like something! I just knew he was saying “da da” but if I got closer to listen he would stop. Finally, today he’s been saying “Da da da da” all day! While I would love for him to say “mama” I’m just excited that he’s saying something!! Right now he loves to take his paci out and hold it in his hand while he moves his wrist back and worth. I think he’s getting ready to be a pitcher or a basketball player! He is really ticklish around his thighs, neck and under arms. He has the sweetest little giggle! He loves to eat his baby food but the bottle still has a special place in his heart :) He sleeps in his crib every night from around 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. I love to snuggle with him but it’s much more comfortable for the entire family if he sleeps in his own bed. He is always going- kicking his feet, moving his arms/hands, trying to crawl, putting everything in his mouth- he’s a busy busy boy! He is still wearing 3-6 month clothes and has almost grown out of size 2 diapers. He has a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 to re-check his ears. I will be posting his 6 month pictures soon! They look awesome and I’m so excited about our first professional family picture! :)
