Gradyn started sitting up all by himself this week! He had been able to do it for a little bit before he tipped over, but on Wednesday he started sitting all by himself for long periods of time! He was at the doctor's office with me while I was getting my allergy shots and he sat on the floor while we were waiting for 20 minutes while he watched all of the people walk by. Of course, the nurses love to stop and talk to him and play with him! I go to get allergy shots once a week, so all of the staff there are getting to know him pretty well and love when he comes in. He even has a special nurse that always gets to hold him while I am getting the shots! The next day at daycare he sat up and played with a toy that he can sit under and play with that lights up and talks to him for almost 40 minutes! He loves to sit and play and watch everything that is going on! It is so much easier now that he can do it on his own because he was never usually happy on his back or belly for too long. He is now getting ready to crawl. We can tell he is pretty close, but still no real movement yet.
He is still continuing to try lots of different baby foods. He has now had: carrots. sweet potatoes, squash, peas, bananas, peaches. He was definately not a fan of the peas at first. He gagged on every bite that he took. It was a little dramatic. He is also not really a fan of fruits, which I think is so weird. I thought he would like those better than the veggies, but so far he doesn't. He can now eat bananas without gagging or starting to throw a fit because he gets mad and doesn't want them anymore. So, hopefully this will continue!
He did really well at daycare this week. He loves to watch the other kids and interact with them. He gets pretty spoiled with all of the attention! The only problem he has is that he usually doesn't sleep very well while he is there because he has too much to look at and doesn't want to miss anything! But, fortunately it doesn't make him crabby or fussy. Hopefully he will get used to the nap room and the other sounds he hears soon so he can take regular naps. He has been going to bed earlier than normal, so that is good and will hopefully stick with being his new bedtime.
We are getting excited for Paul to start flag football this week! It will be fun to go to his games every week, as long as the weather stays nice. We are also getting pretty excited for the start of Husker football and have already started teaching Grady "Touchdown", which I am sure he totally understands! :)
