23 Weeks Old!

Hi Guys,

As usual things have been busy this week. I'm still working on my baby foods. Mom put me in my walker to feed me instead of my bouncy seat. This was also when she first let me taste bananas. I don't know which was better, but for some reason I've been chowing down on the bananas. This was the first time I actually opened my mouth for mom to put the food in.

'>video I still am not a huge fan of the rice cereal or veggies. Mom got me some juice to mix with the cereal, and we're starting on the stage 2 veggies, so maybe they will taste better. This morning I also got to sit in my high chair for the first time. Joey was a little mad at first about me being in his old seat, but he'll get over it. (Actually he's making me laugh in this picture...you'll read more about that in a bit!)Mom said that it is ironic that I was wearing this outfit for my first time in the chair. She has a picture of Joey at pretty much my same age, in the same clothes, during one of his first times sitting in it too!

Mom also took the changing table out of my room this week too. I'm getting really wiggly and the table is old and not real sturdy. She has already let me fall over onto my face a couple of times when we were practicing standing. She says I'm just really wiggly, I say it's her fault! Oh well, I'm still alive and it didn't hurt too bad. Anyway, she doesn't want me falling off of the table, so it's floor changes for me from here on out!

I'm also into my big car seat now. It is just like Joey's but I have to sit facing backward. (I wish i could see his movies! I have become a fan of the big TV in the basement. ) I like the seat overall. It is easier to see out the windows now, and I have a lot more leg room. I don't like it when mom has to get me out during a snooze though!

We've been playing out in the nice weather a lot this week too. We went to Smiley park and I slept the whole time. When we're home Mom sets up some shade for me under Joey's picnic table umbrella and I stand outside in my walker. I'm also starting to walk my walker!! Mom had better get the baby gate for the deck steps and have dad get the one on top of the basement stairs. No huge hurry though. I can just barely move on the kitchen floor and I don't think I'm nearly ready for carpet yet! The walk-around entertainment table is really fun in the basement too. I get to walk around that sometimes and I'm good at it. Mom has been making me be on the floor a lot though so that I can get rolling over down pat. I'm beginning to sit on my own now too. I'm not that good yet, but I'll keep practicing. Joey likes to be on the floor with me and he has figured out how to make funny faces/noises that make me laugh. He thinks it's funny, and I think he's nuts!

Tomorrow we're heading to Columbus for a trip to the zoo in the morning and cousin Alex's birthday party in the afternoon. We have a new stroller to try out, but it's pretty much the same ride for me! Joey gets a new place to sit and ride along though. I hope he doesn't bother me too much...we'll see what happens!

It's nap time now, I'll let you know how this weekend turns out!
