No sleepy sleeper

Baby on a mission
Zoom!
Sweet as Pie
(even without naps!)

Somebody learned how to crawl backwards!!! You learned this trick two (or more) weeks ago but I still haven't put together a video (sorry-will do!). You've also learned how to get into a sitting position from laying down. With all these new tricks we have had very active days and very little naps. Today you slept for 2.5 hours all day which was an improvement. Yeah... When I read you should be sleeping 4-6 hours a day I laughed out loud. Then I hid the book so I wouldn't feel bad! Booksy smucksy! You're in a yippie-hi-ooo! I'm a mobile baby phase. You are still incredibly good natured and happy despite low nap levels. You try to sleep but wake up and start crawling the crib laughing and smiling away! Daddy and I just laugh.

I know I'm not allowed to write this but...you've been having boy toots along with your new food introductions. I can't even say how many times I've been tooted on which always makes me think of your Uncle Jeff (minus the me getting upset part).

You've tried:
-sweet peas
-squash
-sip of unsweetened coconut milk (by yourself in a sippy cup!)
-nectarines

You're still a Mommy milk baby so you have only had a few "tastes." Nevertheless you go crazy for it! Food is the first topic I have heard you voice your opinion. You enjoy your food and you want to be the one to feed and drink yourself so...you have! You love your spoon and sucking every morsel from it as well as working your sippy cup. I actually don't think you're even going to use a bottle. You never used a pacifier and since you drink Mommy milk I think you might only use sippy cups in the future. We'll see, poor Daddy still wishes he could bottle feed you.

Oh boy! The baby proofing begins! :o) Kayla never did the backwards thing... she scooted forward on her tummy for awhile, then did the army crawl for a long time. Works well on the wood floors!
