Who ate all the mac and cheese?

After three months of sitting idly by while everyone else eats these yummy-looking things out of bowls using forks and spoons, mom and dad finally gave me my own spoon to play with while they eat. I thought maybe dad was going to give me a taste of what he was having but it turns out all of the mac and cheese was already eaten by the time he let me sit on his lap! Maybe next time I can sneak a taste. Though I hear from my baby friends that it won't be for another few months when they start me eating some bland-tasting stuff called rice cereal and I have to work up to the good stuff like mac and cheese...

Bumbo boy

It's a pretty big milestone when one gets big enough to sit in the infamous yellow Bumbo baby chair. I'm quite pleased because it means I have a better vantage point from which to watch my big brother's every move. Plus that whole lying on my back thing was getting pretty old.

Mom recommends that everyone look back at Jack's blog for the picture of him sitting in the Bumbo seat. She says we look pretty similar. No denying we are brothers, that's for sure!

bugs and ducks and giraffes and more

I love this play mat! Thanks to my brother for saving it for me. I do get a lot of Jack's hand-me-down toys and clothes but my pap-pap makes sure I get some new toys now and then, like a jingly duck and and a giraffe to hang down from the play mat. Now if only I could control these arms a little better, I might be able to reach the toys and get them to my mouth!

my 2 month old check up (a little late!)

Well mom's hands are pretty full these days (literally!) so she's a little behind on posting the update from my 2-month check up at the doctors. I'm sure you can guess that I'm doing really well. I weigh a whopping 14 pounds, 3 ounces and I am 24.5 inches long. That's 90th percentile! And just for reference, I've completely grown out of my 3 month clothes and am on to size 6 and 9 month outfits. In other milestone news, I'm already rolling from my back to my side and from my side to my back or to my belly. Once I get to my belly, I get stuck but I'm sure I'll figure that out soon. Mom says I'd better slow down with all this growing and moving around but I have a very active big brother to keep up with so I say that I ought to get to crawling as soon as possible!
