Bonzo: now with bemused chuckle! He has a throaty "har, har, har," that he breaks out when he's just starting to see the humor in something (a stacking cup on my head, or his daddy playing peekaboo)
He had zwieback toast for the first time last night--actual "solid" solids! He loves the crumbs and chases them around the high chair tray. We also fed him a slice of ripe avocado tonight and he licked it and made a face, then squished it all between his fingers. Food feels better than it tastes right now. The avocado caused a sweet potato puff to stick to his hand and accidentally enter his mouth; when he got the little star on his tongue, he freaked right out and looked at me for help. Before I could sweep it out of his mouth, he gummed it down and swallowed it, but was very careful not to put anything else in his mouth for the rest of the meal.
I've had a couple of great Baby Crush episodes the last couple days. He's just so amazingly adorable! Not coincidentally, these episodes usually come about ten minutes before bedtime, and I just can't stop playing with him and C has to come in and be the stern parent. Ah well.
And he pulls up to his knees! His knees? He can't find the darn things when he's wiggling around on his belly, but give him a vertical surface and he's immediately kneeling to reach the remote/cell phone/knitting needle (ZOMG)/kittycat. He also throws things (pagers, teethers, socks) and thinks that's also great fun. Gravity trials: redux!
Tonight we are not sleeping. Sleep is for the week. I know that this developmental spurt is supposed to last til somewhere around 46 weeks; we're headed int week 43. Can we hold out??
