I like going out. There is so much to see. Even though I’m in my baby carrier, I manage to make sure I can see my surroundings. It doesn’t make it any easier for Mommy or Daddy to carry me, but it satisfies my curiosity.

Boy, do I like solid foods! Boy, do I get upset when I eat all up! I’m not in pain or in any discomfort. I’m not even hungry. Those tears are simply because I finished eating my food. Let me say that again so that no one things I’m being neglected. I ate all my

My chew toy has a very original design. It is alike a rattle, but is designed like a little man with a head, hands, and feet. I is made that I can chew on any part of him, but the top of his head is shaped like a nipple, so that is the part I

Rolling over is so easy for me. It’s so easy, I bet I could do it in my sleep. Almost. I could “almost” do it in my sleep.

No matter how big I get, I feel small compared to Mommy and Daddy. It is more obvious when Daddy holds me and I curl up into him. I look tiny in his arms. I’m a big boy getting bigger, but I’ll always be their little boy.

I often chew on my feet these days. Apparently it is a very common thing for babies of my age. We are flexible enough that we can just raise our feet, grab our toes and stick them in our mouths. It is really cute, but sometimes Mommy and Daddy warn me that feet aren’t always

I have so much control over my hands now. I can easily reach out a grab the things I want. Without hesitation I can find my toys, grab them, and bring them to my mouth. These hands are such great handy things to have! But my hands are also good for discovering and exploring things

My doggies don’t do much. They don’t bark or run around or move at all for that matter. But they are still fun! Somehow we keep ending up in a dog pile. I know they are stuffed animals, but they are still great companions!

After a nice morning nap I’m a happy boy, ready to start a brand new day!

I am very animated and expressive in a lot of ways. You’ve seen my facial expressions. I kind of look like a manga or anime character. But I don’t have to be awake to portray that kind of expression. Look how dramatically I can nap.

For some reason, I tend to cry uncontrollably in the evening. It usually happens between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.. Even if I am having a very good day and I’m in a good mood, I can start crying in the evening. Apparently this is sometimes referred to as the witching hour. It is often

Usually, Mommy and Daddy sit on the couch and I am on my mat on the floor. But every so often I manage to commandeer the couch. Oooh, this is comfy!

Yep, I’m still trying to get all the food and flavor from that spoon. The spoon looks empty and clean but I’m trying to get food and flavor on the molecular level. So if you’ll excuse me, this takes some time and concentration.

A quick quiz. Take a look at the picture below and answer whether I’m facing up or facing down. Ready, set,… GO! So what did you answer? Naturally if you take your time and look closely, you’ll see that I’m lying face down. But it kind of looks like I could be lying on my

Now that I’m eating solid foods, I’m also practicing drinking something other than milk. I’m drinking barely tea out of my baby mug. It has different tops for me to practice with. The first stage is a practice straw where suckling and sucking brings the tea up the straw and then I can drink. It

As you know, I am only allowed a small amount of solid foods at a time. I don’t like it when my food is gone, so I try to get every last bit of food that I can. If that means sucking the flavor out of my spoon, that’s what I’m going to do!

I have a habit of falling back to sleep after I feed in the morning. I’m supposed wake up, feed, and then start my day. But I when I feel full and satisfied I get sleepy and drift back to slumber. But the morning is very bright and it is hard to stay asleep, so

Daddy is usually in charge of my late-night/early -morning bottle. He does a good job, but somethings he is really sleepy and ends up nearly dozing on the job. I have to help him hold my bottle. I also help adjust the angle for optimal formula intake.

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night hungry? You know, so hungry that you’d eat just about anything? Well, that happens to me a lot. But I figured out a way to satisfy that hunger. Yum!
