a little update for you. Your latest obsession? FOOD! You are obsessed with what people are eating and putting everything in your mouth, edible or not. You usually only like a bite or two, but you are really into it. What does your diet consist of? You do not eat like most babies. You have unusual tastes for your age and for just starting out! You like: spicy guacamole, refried beans, any beans for that matter, chicken casserole, cottage cheese, peas, squash,  pretzels, ritz crackers, sometimes yogurt. You arent into sweet stuff too much. You are such a mess when you eat! You rub it all over, in your hair, ear, neck, legs, you name it. I have to feed you naked and bath you after because you are such a mess. I think its all that hair that gets in your face.

You LOVE your jumpers. Once you figured it out, it was game on. As long as we are around, you are content in there.

You yell. ALOT! It a literal yell. Especially when you're hungry. You try to bite my face and shoulder when you want a bottle.

You aren't too mobile, other than rolling around, pulling knees up to a crawl position but just going back down. You sit great. I'm happy at this stage. Things get complicated when crawling begins!

Love you angel baby. You make me smile everyday, several times a day!

Always,
mom

Hi Pretty girl, I love you so much. You are such a good baby. Your tempermant is amazing and you love to watch Mia run around. You are always looking for her. Today she picked you up and was carrying you around until I saw her and about passed out from the sight! You loved it though. Here are some funny things about you: You poop all over! Clothing, car seats, shopping carts, couches, your mother, you name it! You are so proud too. You laugh when loud noises are made. When Mia splashes in the tub, or I make a funny noise at you, you think its funny. You are happiest on the go. If we arent out the door soon after getting up in the morning you get restless and want out. You can sit up and are already eating all the rocks at the park. It is so funny to watch you try to put them in your mouth over and over again. You only fall over when you are reaching for something behind you or Mia tackles you. You dont really care to eat in the morning/early afternoon. You will go lots of daylight hours without eating and you dont seem to care. I think you are right handed. I also think you like salty foods. Your first solid food try was bacon (thank your father). You always lay on your side with your hand up over your face. You still rub your feet together. You LOVE water. We go swimming and you love it. You also like the bath. You have had some illnesses. You had an ear infection and some respiratory distress a month ago that just wouldnt clear up with antibiotics. The breathing was an issue and you were wheezing a little bit so I gave you some breathing treatments for a few days. I think we tried 4 different kinds of antibiotics for the ears and nothing would do it. We were thinking about doing tubes but you were a few weeks under 6 months (the age req. for anasthesia) and so we did some allergy medicine (Singulair) for 2 weeks and your ears got better! Now you seem to have a cold again, however Im not convinced its not allergies. Im wondering what will happen when we move to Baltimore and out of the allergy capital that is Austin. Your hips are looking fine so that is great. You love to see your dad. You kind of hulk out when you see him. Its really cute. I love you so so much. Everyone I see, everywhere I go comments on how cute you are. Your hair lays down now and is in your eyes. Its out of control! It looks very light underneath the brown, so we will see what color it grows in. I love you baby. I wish you would be my little baby forever xo mama
