And with a blink of an eye, I’m another week older; oh wait, I’m two weeks older from the last time I updated. To say we’ve been busy lately would be an understatement; we’ve been going nonstop these past couple weeks. Time is just flying bye and it seems the more I do the faster it goes. With no time to spare it’s time to get to my highlights for 35 and 36 wks:
35 wk highlights:
-I did my first sign and now can’t get enough of doing things with my hands. It seems all of a sudden everything just started going together. I signed ball for Mommy the other day when her and I were playing with one of my toy balls. She even managed to record it since I kept doing it for her. I now have signed ball, more, milk, and can wave bye bye. The other night was so excited about doing things with my hands, it took awhile for me to calm down and go to sleep.
-In sign class we’ve done Eat, Sleep, Bath, Dress, and Animals so far. I continue to be the center of attention in the class and really do like watching Bebo and Ms. Jane sign and sing to me!
-Since I’m on the go all the time, M&D thought it was time to baby proof the house. Although right now it’s more M&D proof, especially with the latches on all the drawers in the kitchen. It’s funny watching them forget the latch is there and then giving the, “What the heck?” look when trying to figure out why it won’t open. After about hundred times, I think they’re slowing remembering. They put up a gate for the stairs, cleared of all things on the coffee and end tables in the living room, latched all doors and drawers, and covered the fireplaces with some mats……hello Kinder Care!
-Mommy let me have Cheerios for the first time this week and I absolutely love them. She also gave me some cheddar crunches and I love those too. I’ve been a little stubborn for my mom lately when she’s feeding me (especially lunch), but am usually a really good eater.
-Along with starting Cheerios, I also started 3rd foods for supper. I’ve tried spaghetti with meat sauce and lasagna, of which I really seemed to enjoy both of them. I ate the whole jar yesterday for the first time too.
-Anytime I have food in my mouth and Mommy tries to give me more, I shake my head and won’t let her feed me until I’m done chewing what’s in my mouth.
-We went over to a party the other day to see the neighbor boy who is back from the Army for a couple days. I really didn’t care for all the attention at first, but then warmed up to everybody, especially to the little girls!
-At little gym I finally got to show off how I love to crawl everywhere and get into everything. Ms. Mary Lee was quite impressed, especially considering when I started there all I would do is roll to my left side from my belly (this is still my ‘escape plan’ when I don’t know what to do).
- “Dada, dada, dada!” I love to talk and have definitely turned into a chatterbox this past week.
-I love going to the grocery store with Mommy and always get compliments on how cute I am and how well I behave!
-I’m really good at getting a drink of water out of my sippy cup. I love it so much that when Mommy takes it away, I tend to protest a little.
-This week I managed to crawl out of the laundry basket. Mommy likes to set me in it, while she folds laundry; I however don’t like to sit still so I pulled myself up and started to crawl out.
-I’ve finally figured out how to put the toy eggs thru the chicken nest on my farmyard play set.
-Shannon babysat me so Mommy and Daddy could go out for a date; after they got home, I really didn’t want them to leave again, so I started to cling onto my Mommy for dear life the rest of the night.
-I constantly crawl over to the front door rug and lift it up to inspect what’s under it.
- In my daily crawling adventures around the house, I managed to pull open a drawer in the kitchen. Luckily M&D baby proofed the house, so the drawers won’t open all the way.
-M&D took me to the park to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time. I smiled and laughed when I saw the bunny and even took some great pictures for them.
-In church I’ve moved up to the crawlers group.
-M&D started bible study this week; I was fussy the whole night for the sitter and didn’t want to be around the other kids.
-When I’m playing with a toy, I insist on doing everything with my right hand. However, when I’m eating I prefer to use my left hand.
-I’ve been a little fussy and crabby lately, because my teeth are trying to come in.
-Mommy finally took me off the boppy in my crib, since I’ve officially warded off my sniffles and don’t cough anymore. Now that the boppy is gone, I’m all over the place in my crib. I especially like to sleep on my stomach now. The shinny silver camera is my favorite thing to try to get to. I managed to pull the cord from the camera into my crib.
36 wk highlights:
-I had my last signing class. We learned about things in the park and believe it or not, I was perfect the whole class! M&D brought the video of me signing and had to show it to the class. Everybody couldn’t believe it, but were definitely impressed when they saw me sign ball!
-Traveled for the 7th & 8th time on a plane. So far I’ve been to NE 3 times and Houston once.
-Was a little antsy on the plane ride to Omaha and took about a day to get adjusted to a new place and new people. However, once I got adjusted to the new place and people I was my happy go lucky self. On the way back I did great and was all over my Mommy’s lap laughing and playing.
-I celebrated my first Easter! We celebrated the holiday in Omaha with Mommy’s side of the family.
-Met my cousin Jenna for the first time. She was fascinated with me and was a big help whenever I needed something. She didn’t understand why I liked to splash so much though. We played nonstop, took a bath, played in the pool, had stroller races, and shared Grandma’s lap/sides. Jenna liked to ride in my stroller, while Grandma would carry me. Jenna also liked to take her baby for a stroller ride when Grandma was giving me a ride.
-I liked Jenna’s baby doll so much, that Grandma got me my very own baby “boy” doll.
-Met my Uncle Jeff and Aunt Angie for the first time too. They can’t believe how much I look like my Daddy and how big I’m getting.
-We stayed at the Embassy Suites for 5 days and I had so much fun playing with my cousin and the family.
-I went and saw Grandma & Grandpa Carriker in Lincoln for lunch on Saturday. They were headed back to do a couple things for Great Grandma & Grandpa Carriker. They couldn’t believe how much I’d grown and thought I looked exactly like Daddy’s baby pics!
-On Easter we went to the Henry Doorley Zoo. I did awesome the whole time we were there and really enjoyed looking at all the animals. Jenna and I had stroller races and I even talked to one of the jaguars. Everybody thought it was cute when the jaguar would growl and I’d growl back.
-Saw some of Mommy’s friends again, and of course they can’t believe how much I’ve grown. They all love watching me grow up through the pictures Mommy post on facebook.
-My teeth are driving me nuts, which in turn means I’m driving M&D a little nuts too. You can see them right underneath my gums and the sensation of them breaking through is making me a little fussy.
-Grandma taught me how to get off the couch properly. Roll to my belly and then backwards crawl off until my feet hit the ground!
-Mommy & Grandma started giving me some table food. I’ve been starting to wean myself from drinking so much milk and am getting to be a picky eater when it comes to certain foods, so Mommy decided it was time to start giving me some of the good stuff. I tried some cantaloupe, a cherro (no sugar) and the inside of a potato-o-la. And of course I loved them all!
-I absolutely love being outdoors and if Mommy lets out Rambo, I insist we need to go out too. Mommy calls it my “Off” switch, because it never fails if I’m fussy or restless and we go outside I’m happy as can be!
-Everyday I go with Mommy to get the mail. I know how to open and close the mailbox.
-I love to go walking everywhere with Mommy holding underneath my arms. I look like I’m stomping on ants when I walk. I can't wait to take off on my own!
-Played in the big swimming pool for the second time (the first was when we came back in November for a NE game). I was a little cold the first night we went swimming, but the second time I had a blast floating around and splashing with Daddy, Uncle Phil, Uncle Jeff, and Jenna!
-Went to Cabela's for the first time. Mommy got me some camo outfits, so I can go hunting and fishing with Uncle Bill. I also got to see all the wilderness animals inside. I especially like one of the bears that was showing his teeth; for whatever reason I thought it was quite funny!
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”-Galatians 2:20
