28 Weeks

Yeah, I totally missed last week.  I suppose you're used to my general laissez faire attitude by now.



Likes:
  • Your brother.  You smile ear to ear when he enters the room.
  • You're also pretty fond of your father.  When Dada walks in the door in the evening and I am holding you, you throw your body in his direction as if to propel us over to him.
  • Looking in the mirror gets you laughing.  Today you discovered a mirror on one of your toys and you cackled looking at yourself.
  • Everything must be examined, up close.  I've enjoyed watching you look at your hands and discovering that they are yours and they are attached to you!
  • Raspberries on your belly...you'll pooch that belly out as if to say "do it again, Mama."
  • You *love* food, especially yogurt.  You get pretty angry if you see the yogurt on the table and I dare offer you anything but a bite of yogurt. 

Dislikes:
  • You're not very fond of the bumbo chair.  As a matter of fact you hate anything that pushes you into a sitting position.  That may be why you're not anywhere near sitting on your own yet.
  • Being left alone.  You are used to having action at all times thanks to Freddie.  
  • Green veggies



Working on:

  • Sitting up.  You're not loving being bent into the sitting position and you do little to hold yourself up.  Sometimes I can get you into the tripod pose where you support yourself with one arm between your legs but only for a few seconds.
  • You've been getting the cup spout to your mouth and gnawing on it just enough to get a bit of water into your mouth.  This surprises you each time.
  • I've started the puffs on the tray so you can work on your pincher grasp.  You tend to paw at them and get them stuck on your sticky palms.

Vocabulary:
  • Mama mama mama
  • Brrrrmmmm
  • Eeeeeeeeee
  • And some general screeching that I just love and makes everyone smile.
