My parents were in town the first part of January. It's freezing here so we didn't go outside a lot, but they got to spend a lot of quality time with the little guy here. We all had lots of fun. He hadn't seen my dad since we left Texas, so it was fun for them to spend time together. I think he remembered my mom from the last time she was here. When she walked in he started laughing!
Little guy said Da Da for the first time this month (1/10 to be exact). Conan and my parents were here and he started and didn't stop all day. It was too cute and I'm so glad Conan got to hear him say it for the first time. He's also almost crawling. He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth. He can jump both of his legs one step or so and then falls down. When he's on the wood floors he can really get going. He can scootch himself backwards almost anywhere. I've had to really get on the childproofing around here. He's gotten his bottom two teeth this month too. Conan was laying down by him on the bed and had his eyes closed. He said all of the sudden he felt little teeth on the bottom of his nose. Christopher had gotten it! We're really seeing his little personality now. He's so much fun!
time trying to talk Christopher into eating solid foods. We've tried rice cereal, green peas (I got the worst face I've ever seen for those), apples, and now bananas. The one food Conan can't stand is bananas, so I was on my own for this one. I pureed up a banana and tried it out. We started out about the same- pursed lips and face buried in the side of the high chair. Finally I let him take the spoon. He got some banana in his mouth and realized he might like it. So I took the spoon back, refilled it, and let him feed himself. And it was a huge mess. But he was happy. He got a decent amount of food in his mouth, so Mom was happy too. Independent much? Now on to green vegetables!
