Squash

Okay, so I should have checked the blog poll before I went shopping for Levi's first Veggie...

We started with Squash (the one veggie no one voted for!) Sorry about that...

Anyway, Levi seemed to really like his squash better than the fruits we've been feeding him. He slurped them down without even a grimace or a funny face. With Levi-head away at Nana and Papaw's for the weekend (mom and dad are sick :( ), I thought this would be a great time to catch everyone up on what Levi's been doing lately:

- He's sitting up on his own quite nicely which makes it a lot easier to feed him from his high chair!
- He's getting around in his walker, just about anywhere he wants to go! Gotta move the plants! He's got Turbo running for his life!
- He learned how to spit this week (thanks to Papaw!)
- We tried our first finger foods this week - raisen pieces and bits of animal crackers.
- He can pull his upper body up with his arms and he's starting to try to pull his bottom half up too - we think he'll be crawling VERY soon (2-3 weeks maybe)
- He's sleeping a little better. On a good night he only gets up once (2-3 a.m.)!!!
- He's saying "dadadadada" when he's happy, "MAMA" when he's mad and may even be saying "bottle" - that's still up for debate.
- His favorite toy right now is our FACE. He wants to pull it, poke it, slap it, bite it. He loves faces.

All in all, We're starting to think that maybe this whole baby thing wasn't such a bad idea. He's starting to get fun and I think we're finally starting to settle into a routine. He really is a good baby and obviously has superior intelligence. We'll keep you updated as new developments arise!
