Week 33

Anthony has learned to feed himself the finger foods we've been giving him. Before, he would just put them in his fist and try to stuff it in his mouth. Now, he can actually get the pieces in his mouth! He has started trying to mimick certain things that we say now. Like, "banana" and "yeah yeah yeah" and "ah choo"! We think he's teething again; looks like a top tooth is going to come through soon.

Week 32

Anthony is a master crawler now! It's amazing how fast they can move once they learn how. He really maneuvers well in the walker now too. But, he seems to love to maeuver right into the back of my heels!
Anthony loved his first time in the baby pool!

Week 31 / He's Crawling! / Easter

Yes, Anthony started crawling on Saturday! It's so funny to see him moving across the floor and getting to things & places he had been admiring from afar. He also sat up on his own for the first time on Thursday night. However, he hasn't done it again since then. On Friday, we gave him his first finger foods; little Gerber cereal snacks for babies. He's working hard to develop that pincer grasp! He is really enjoying the solid foods. It's getting harder and harder to get him to finish a bottle now; he just wants the solids! We colored Easter eggs on Saturday night before Daddy went to work. He had a good time playing with the eggs and trying to get them into his mouth. We celebrated Easter on Sunday morning before Daddy had to scoot off to bed. Anthony crawled to his first Easter basket and tipped the contents right on top of his head! He wore himself out playing with his new books and toys! (Thanks Gramma, Grandpa & Aunt Julie!) And Anthony's new "thing" is shaking his head "no" at everything you say to him; too funny!

7 months

Our little boy is 7 months old today! Our biggest joy for the week is that Anthony has started sleeping 12 hours straight through the night! Woo Hoo! Well, last night wasn't so great... but, for the week prior, he's been sleeping 7pm to 7am! He's really enjoying his solid foods now; he's opening his mouth for it before we even get the spoon near him. He's on the verge of crawling & sitting up; should be any day now! We went to watch Aaron play baseball on Saturday. On Sunday, Grandma came over for a visit and we took Anthony to the park to ride the swing......... (The video below was taken in the hospital on the night Anthony was born. Daddy just recently found the video camera . So, I hadn't seen this video until just a couple of days ago.)
