....so here it is. It took me a few weeks to feel a bit more rested and therefore not as grouchy. George is actually doing really, really well. He is taking in a fair amount of solids at this point. He has some cereal mixed with apples or pears in the morning and cereal mixed with more fruit at night. He is LOVING the apples and pears:
Yesterday was his first day of bananas, and well, I guess you could say the verdict is out on this one:
Liam tries to help out and show him how it's done:
He still drinks a fair amount and will only take the cereal mixed with fruit, but it's far better than earlier when he wouldn't even open his mouth!
The week that Taylor had left, I thought about how different our lives are with him gone and how I want to make things as much the same as they would be for the boys as if Taylor were here. Well, as we know, most babies tend to say Da-da before "ma-ma" so I decided that I would work with G on that. Well, lo and behold, he picked it up right away! Now, I know he doesn't relate it to Taylor at all, but that part will come. He is babbling a lot now, especially to Liam, the pets, and his friends at school.
George is seriously on the move now. He rolls over everywhere and somehow scoots himself everywhere, too! No crawling and not so much we need gates yet, but definitely does not stay in one place. His teacher and I think it's because he really loves playing with this girl Rivka at school. She is army crawling and he wants to keep up with her. The two of them actually play together a ton and babble and giggle at one another. It's pretty cute! Either way, G is on the move and I'm just waiting for him to get up on all fours and pick up speed!
The past few weeks have brought several visits with family. My nephew Ben, turned two a few weeks ago and G got his party hat on for the celebration:
He seemed to enjoy himself, although was deathly afraid of their dog, Sammy. Granted Sammy is neither calm nor tiny, but George has been around Sam several times before with no reaction (not to mention we have a dog, too!) . However, this time, any time Sam would just walk by, George would get the saddest face ever and just start crying. It was cute and pathetic at the same time. We also took time that day to get some good cousin pics. I'm not so sure Ben thought a lot of the photo session, though:
Mike came down to visit one weekend and we had fun just enjoying some quiet play time with her:
George is still as relaxed as ever. He is (finally!) sleeping through the night and doesn't really cry that much...mostly only if he's hungry. He puts himself to sleep each night while watching his crib soother (which he loves):
And hugging Taggie (another huge love):
Lately, though, all of a sudden, he has become a HUGE thumb sucker and comforts himself that way:
All in all, though, he's still very easy and very chill....a happy baby. So, if you're reading this, don't worry Daddy...I'm still the same ol' George!
