We gave him crackers and the little baby puffs this past weekend . He was confused at first (hence the picture), but LOVES feeding himself now that he's getting the hang of it! He continues to enjoy eating - but is not liking his green veggies at all!!! He pretty much spits them right back out. His favorites are his cereal with fruit mixed in, pears, and squash. He'll eat other foods, but there is a distinct difference with these - he opens his mouth wide, leans forward, and shows real excitement! :)
He loves playing with balls lately. Too cute! He's also rolling all around. He doesn't purposefully roll across a room or anything yet, but does roll to get to his toys more and more frequently. The other day I sat him with the boppy behind him to play and a few minutes later I notice he is all of the way behind the boppy on his belly by the Christmas tree! He is a wiggler and mover :) I don't think he's anywhere close to actually crawling around, but he's learning to move more and more with purpose!
We got all bundled up and headed to the Manassas Christmas Parade on Saturday! Alex is very into fire trucks, cars, motorcycles, etc. etc. So we figured he'd LOVE it... and Santa would be there! It was our first time with the winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. and it was very windy and COLD!
We really enjoyed the first 30 or 40 minutes or so... Nathan was happy and warm (he was wearing A LOT and was all snug in the stroller with blankets... he was perfectly content to sit and watch all of the lights and people!) and Alex was LOVING all of the "cool stuff". Then suddenly, just before Santa was supposed to come, BOTH kids completely melted - Alex was cold, and Nathan was ready for his nap... and both wanted mommy... So off we went through the crowds in the middle of the parade with two screaming kids... we got many sympathetic smiles. As soon as we got to the comfort of the car with the heat on, Alex asked if we could pleeeeaaaase go back and see Santa ;)
