Misc updates. . .

Notice tired eyes due to refusal to afternoon nap, full cheeks due to lots of dinner, excessive drool on his shirt and my pants where he had been standing due to 4th top tooth coming through!

JJ's been chugging along, developing nicely : ) His fourth top tooth is going to pop through any minute now which equals 4 top teeth in 1 month! Maybe now he'll start sleeping! I know, I sound like a broken record!

He hasn't started completely standing on his own yet, but that should also happen any minute. I think he has a little performance anxiety because whenever I try and make him do it, he won't. Then this morning, when he thought I wasn't looking, I saw him standing near the couch with two toys in his hands, just standing on his own! When my parents were here, I got him this little grocery cart to push around, I thought it was appropriate since Brian and I did meet in a grocery store : ) Before that, he'd had a car for quite awhile, but it was too fast for him to walk with, so I got him the grocery cart which is a little more stable and slower. Within about 10 minutes of playing with that, he started walking with it around the entire house, and then he started walking with the faster car too! He seems to be enjoying both.

He's still a big eater. Not sure if he's currently going through a growth spurt, but today he ate a lot - see below -

Breakfast - 8 oz bottle, yogurt, raspberries

I thought it would be a good idea to mix some fresh raspberries with his yogurt, but with every bite, he spit out the raspberry, looked at it, then put it back in his mouth!

Lunch - 4 tablespoons green beans, 4 tablespoons corn, 1 banana

2 PM snack - 8 oz bottle

4:30 PM snack - 8 oz bottle

Dinner - 1 avocado, 1 banana, lots of cheese (and I mean LOTS!), yogurt, yogurt melts

Bedtime snack - 4 oz bottle

The kid truly is eating me out of house and home!

I've been exposing JJ to lots of different types of music, but still his favorite "song" to "dance" to is Brian's ring tone!
