New Foods & New Skills

I love these peas - but how do you get into this container??
This thing is cool - will it make me a geek?
GO VIKINGS!!
Yes, I am a big boy! and I know I'm cute...
I love sitting in Mommy's spot...now if only I could get the remote away from her.
I've got this sippy cup thing down.
I'm an upside down baby!!
Daddy is so comfortable.
Time for more carrots - give me that spoon Mom!!

Hello all. It's been a while. We haven't forgotten, just been a little busy. Thomas is so much fun and has started a few new things. In addition to rice cereal, he has now made his way through carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and squash (yeah I know - disgusting)...but he LOVES them all and screams if the spoon isn't full enough fast enough! He loves eating with his spoon and often will scream again if we are eating and he's not getting any of it. His new favorite things to reach for are actually those things he can't have - the remote, Mommy's cell phone, and our drinks, food, crackers, etc.

Thomas also has a new skill - he can sit up on his own! And now that he can do it, he doesn't want to do anything else. He can't pull himself up into a sitting position (yet but he's close), but he will pull on our fingers and get himself sitting up. He loves sitting up like a big boy and lunged himself at his toys, blankets, Mommy, Daddy, etc.

I know it's a little late and been almost a week since he did it, but Thomas has also learned the art of rolling over. He's a pro at rolling over from tummy to back, but last week he rolled over from his back to tummy - and luckily Mommy and Daddy where standing right there to see it. Although he's learned the skill, he still doesn't do it very often -- he's too busy sitting up right now :-)

On Monday night, we head out for North Carolina for JP and Erin's wedding. We hope Thomas's first road trip is a good one!! Talk to you all soon!
