Check this out - I've added some videos to my blog! (Danielle and Shelley, I hope you are impressed!) Jeremy helped me, of course! Anyway, I hope you like them. And....I can even put them on my iPod - how cool is that?Nothing new really going on here. Conner has widened his food samplings to sweet potatoes, bananas, and applesauce! Next we're on to sweet peas, plums, and more green beans, sweet potatoes, and pears. He also had a cracker when we went to El Potrillo the other night. The nice waiter brought him 3 packs without knowing that Conner really doesn't eat crackers. But, we decided to let him try it. I didn't want to hurt the nice man's feelings! :) And of course, we also let him suck on a lemon....he loves it! I would get video of that, but it's not very entertaining - he's doesn't even make a face!I'm so ready for warmer weather. Today I added Conner to my gym membership at The Club so he can go to the pool this summer. They said it might even open this weekend! I've even bought him a little "boat" to sit in, and also a little pool for our backyard. He's all set! Of course, we go to Seaside, Florida in a few weeks for his first beach trip. I'll definitely be sure to get some video and pictures of that!
Well I am finally getting on the "blog bandwagon!" I have been hesitant to start yet another project that I'll have to keep up with, but y'all will just have to be patient with me....I'll update it when I can!Conner is now over 9 months old. I can't believe how time flies! I'll soon be planning his 1st birthday party! His buddy Patrick's is coming up in just a couple of weeks....wow! For those of you who don't know the daily "happenings" of our little man, I'll get you updated. Let's see....he is now eating real solids (not just cereal). He has tried carrots, green beans, yellow squash, pears, and now broccoli. Amazingly, he seems to like all of them, but he was getting a little tired of the carrots after the seventh consecutive day of eating them! We are making all of his baby food. Well....Jeremy is making all of his baby food. I do help with picking out his next food, as well as putting them in containers once they are pureed. I still think his favorite food so far is green beans, but the pears could have been a tie.We have also experimented with the sippy cup. I think we finally bought a kind that he likes, but it's success could also have been attributed to the diluted white grape juice that was in it! Either way, I'm glad he is learning to use it. Hopefully we can leave the bottle behind when we switch him to cow's milk in a few more months.As far as mobilization is concerned, I am marking today down as the first "official" day that he has crawled. I saw it with my own eyes AND videotaped it! Yes, I know he is a little late. I think he's been capable of crawling for some time, but he just didn't want to! Instead, he resorted to scooting around by dragging his whole body with his upper body. Or, he would get on his hands and knees and then just put himself in a sitting position. Maybe us having hardwood floors had something to do with it, I don't know. I really haven't been wanting to rush anything, since a mobile baby will only further complicate our lives! He also seems to have more interest in trying to pull-up on things (mainly me while he's sitting on the changing table) and standing. I thought he might just skip the whole crawling phase and go straight to walking, but maybe not.Regardless of what he's eating or doing, he is still such a cute little boy (at least we think so), and we are very blessed! I hope to get more pictures and maybe even some video on here soon, so stay tuned! :)Karen
