Lots of excitement the last couple of weeks as you continue to discover news things and grow! You worked very hard to teach yourself how to sit up. I was pretty surprised you seem to master that skill in a week. Something tells me you’re going to be a go-getter, you realized there are lots of things happening if you can only get off the floor.
I planned to start introducing solid food when you were sitting up on your own and at least six months old, but you let us know you were ready by grabbing food from everyone’s plates. It’s been about a week and half since you tried solids and it’s mostly going well. So far you’ve tried banana, sweet potatoes, asparagus, cabbage, tomato soup, pancakes, waffles, avocado, raspberries, oatmeal and egg. Avocado and sweet potato have been the favorites so far. We mostly are doing baby-led weaning and some meals are pretty short since you get frustrated with these tiny bits of food in your mouth. I can only imagine how weird this all seems to you. We sit in your highchair and give you a variety of teethers which mostly taste good but fall apart in your mouth! You are not quite sure of what to make of this experience!
You are chewing like crazy and seem to have a couple teeth ready to break through, so I imagine next month you will have your first tooth. I have a feeling you are going to cut the first 4-6 teeth in one big go– so I really should be bracing myself for some sleepless nights.
Lastly, you had so much fun your first time swimming in the pool and splashing your hands in the splashpad. ! It’s going to be a fun summer for sure!!
We love you so much!
