Jump Around!!!

It's been a while since the last update! It's been pretty busy around here and mom and dad haven't had time to write a new entry. I had a bit of a stomach bug last week and that was NO fun. Apparently it is going around in the toddler room in school and one of my teachers had it too :( Mom had to keep me home from school since I'm supposed to be "healthy" for at least 24 hours before going. I was fine the next day, but mom was worried I was dehydrated and didn't want to take a chance. The joys of daycare. This week it is just me and a few other non-mobile infants, so we have the run of the place and can "play" more freely without the older babies bothering us. I'm back to my non-sleeping tendencies and have been taking one or two 20 minute naps at daycare and maybe an hour nap after I get home. I think I get overtired and then have trouble going to bed and don't sleep well. It's a vicious cycle - one that mom, dad, and my teachers hope I grow out of soon!

I'm enjoying a few more foods now - I've had rice cereal, oatmeal, barley cereal, sweet potatoes, applesauce (necessitated by the stomach bug) and squash. I made the bitter face for the apples the first time, but after that I just gobbled them up. I still only get food once a day, but I may get a second meal soon. The food isn't needed for nutrition until I'm a lot older, so it's all just for practice now and to watch out for any allergies. Dad also taught me how to bang my spoon on my highchair to demand food. It's cute for now :)

It's starting to become apparent that I'm intentionally playing with my toys now. There's a LOUD toy on my exersaucer that I love to spin. I also just got a GREAT new toy - a jumperoo! I'm a little short for it still, but I figured out how to use it pretty quickly. Here's a quick video - I didn't talk much, but you can see how much fun it is. Mom's hoping that I will jump myself to sleep :)



We'll put more pictures up once we find the adapter for the camera... Hope everyone is well!
