Week 38

Week 38 (Sept 30th-Oct 6th)

9/30 Boy do you want to walk. It's amazing to see you on the move. Crawling faster and faster. You came over to me and put your hand up for me to grab it and then you proceed to stand. It's really amazing to see the trust that is there because you won't do that to other things. You know daddy or I will hold you up.

On Sat Oct 3rd we took you to the pumpkin patch in San Carlos for your first pumpkin. We took your O'Hara grandparents along with us. You were ready for a nap so you were a bit tired and distracted but you still had a good time and I was able to take pictures of you, which I love.

You love Tofu! I'm not surprised but in a way I am? Makes no sense, I know. But you had the crumbs alllll over your face. It falls apart so easily but you love digging in it, moving it around and picking it up with your fingers.

You stood up using the dining room chair. I think you felt pretty secure there but I sat nearby to make sure you didn't knock your head. You did sooo well.

We attended an introduction to sign language class. You loved it. The attention, the crawling around and hooo'ing.

10/6 You started to walk on your hands today! Not just the army crawl anymore.

Week 37

Week 37 (Sept 23rd-Sept 29th)

9/28 Lately you have been wanting to stand up in your bath rather than sit and play with your toys. It's quite funny. You get irritated and then reach to grab my arms or hands so you can pull yourself up. Then you get all excited when you are standing. This is great in the heat because you don't get cold. Naps are still going great. 3 naps a day and still about 1 1/2hrs. You love every food still which is great. I get a wide open mouth wanting more. We are still working on your sign language with you and hope you will catch on soon :)

I love this picture of you that I took in the kitchen. You got into all sorts of things and seemed to love it.

Week 36

                                                                                   

Week 36 (Sept 16th-22nd)

9/20 Daddy and I have been peaking in on you at night to see you sleeping with your butt in the air. I think you have caught on to us. Two nights in a row you've woken up and stared at us from the crib. What do we do? We stand still as if we are invisible and you can't see us. HA! Don't move is what we whisper to each other and we giggle. HA yeah you can't hear that. Then you get upset and I feel bad we woke you. How on earth could you go back to sleep! Luckily it was just a few tears and back to sleep you go. I guess we can't do that anymore. Darn it. You look so cute when you sleep.

You started using your fingers more recently. I gave you some Gerber puffins and you had soo much fun trying to eat those. Such concentration with pointing at it and trying to pick it up. You are really focused on trying to eat it yourself. Way to go!

22/23 We've had a couple of rough nights with you. On the 22nd you woke up crying. Figured you were just upset and we were going to leave but you got worse. I went in and your leg was stuck in the crib. So we picked you up and gave you a bottle and you were wide awake! Oh my were we tired. So we tried to wear you out and let you walk and crawl around. The next night you were up twice. the first time at 1am. Crying sooo hard and loud so we got you up and hung out with you for awhile, gave you a bottle and eventually put you back to sleep. Then awake around 5ish, not quite sure because I didn't want to get up to look at the time. I just knew it was dark and that it wasn't time to get you. You just made noise and kicked around but at 6ish am you were done lying there so I got you up and fed you.
