He was not a very cooperative model and ripped his calendar paper immediately. I think he was showing his displeasure with the whole process, see the part about attitude below :-) His poor little cheeks were wind burned from us jogging earlier that morning.
This is about as good as it got.
This past month has really been neat. He is turning into such a little human! I know that sounds funny but when they are born and for several months after that they really don't do much or have much of a personality. He did some stuff and of course me being a first time Mom, thought they were awesome and super cool but nothing like how he has started acting lately. He has such a personality and loves to entertain you with his super loud noises and funny faces. He has the screech that is ear splitting but for some reason we all think it is funny :-). Have you seen that Diet Mt Dew commercial where they impersonate eagles? He sounds like that lady! No kidding!! You definitely know when you have done something that he disagrees with like taking away a toy or not picking him up when he thinks you should. But he has also started to reach for us, which absolutely melts my heart. I am pretty sure he has also figured that out and uses it to his advantage :-). He has also become a little stubborn and shows more and more signs of my attitude, uh oh! What can I say, my parent's always told me I was going to have one just like me and it looks like they were right. That means the teenage years could be dramatic :-). He has gotten a lot better at sitting up by himself and can stay up for a good while. And he is so close to crawling. He can do both the arms and the legs but can't get them to go together at the same time. He has mastered the going backwards though and it frustrates him BIG time because you can tell he is trying really hard to move forward and all he does is get farther away.
He has gone through all the commercially prepared single ingredient vegetables and started on the fruits on the 13th. His first fruit was bananas which he didn't seem to like at all, as soon as I put it in his mouth he pushed it back out and then after a few more tries he just stopped opening it.
Happy boy right before he tries his bananas
Getting ready for the first bite
The next 3 are his reaction to the bananas
Ms. Amanda at school says he is eating them just fine though, of course. He eats so much! In the past week or two he has started eating a whole jar of veggies and a half jar of fruits. This is in addition to his 5 bottles and 2 servings of cereal. His current meal schedule during the week is
7am - 7oz bottle
10am - 7oz bottle
11am - 2 TBL cereal, 1 jar veggies, 1/2 jar fruit
1pm - 7oz bottle
4pm - 7 oz bottle
7pm - 8oz bottle and 2 Tbl cereal
On the weekend we don't do the 11 am thing, I just give him cereal with his 10am bottle and then the fruits and veggies with his 1pm bottle. He doesn't seem to mind and believe me, I would know if he did :-). He still takes at least 2 naps a day during the week. He has stopped falling asleep on our way home at night which makes him grumpy, but I am hoping he will get back into the habit. On the weekends if we are at home, he goes down for a nap 2 hours after he gets up and sleeps for at least an hour in the morning and then takes a long nap after he eats at 1. He can still wear all his 3 - 6 month clothing which is suprising considering according to the weight chart he should have been out of them like 6lbs ago. Some of them do seem to accentuate his belly though :-), so I have started putting him in 6 - 9 month sizes also.
Below are some super blurry pictures of his first teeth, he was most uncooperative for these shots :-)
