Yesterday, Matthew turned 7 months old. Oh, how the time flies. He is solidly sitting on his own and enjoying his time in the high chair. I remember when I was pregnant with him how much I craved sweets - donuts, ice cream, cookies. Now feeding assorted new flavors, I am reminded that he was my "sugar baby" because he rejects anything that isn't sweet fruit, sweet potato or carrots. The look of disdain when I fed him peas was hilarious. He also didn't go for squash or "summer vegetables". I keep trying to sneak in some veggies, but I have to be really sly because he's pretty quick at recognizing he's been tricked. :)
Tonight, he managed to get himself up onto all fours. It seems that crawling is just around the corner. Although I am thrilled with the prospect of watching him develop this new skill, I am not looking forward to life with baby gates, worrying about baby proofing everything and watching in exasperation as the cabinets get emptied on a regular basis. Ahh, well... as with everything baby, it is so fleeting, you have to just enjoy the moments as they happen.
Adam is enjoying his swimming lessons and just this week experienced independence in the water. He was really proud of his new success. He is still enjoying his scooter and Skuut bike. He got a soccer net for his birthday so it will be lots of fun on rainy days to practice shooting goals together. Adam is quite the negotiator and is always saying "let's make a deal" and asking me to put the timer on so he gets notified when his time is up. He was reading a book about Lulu the Lamb, and he says it is Wuwu the Wamb. I asked him if it was Wuwu the Wamb and he said, "No, mommy, it is Wuwu the Wamb." It was really funny. I guess in his head, he knows the difference. He wants to know everything - who bought this, where it came from, what store, when did we get it etc... He's still a whiz at puzzles and it is great to see the wheels turning as he sorts them out.
That's about it for now. I just wanted to note this milestone today. Enjoy the rain! We're so happy winter is finally here!
