I really like food now! Mommy finally gave up on my liking rice cereal and tried mashing up a banana for me a couple weeks ago. I loved it! Then she mixed banana with rice cereal and I liked that, too. I don't even complain about plain rice cereal anymore. And this week my new food is peas. They're delicious. I'm doing a great job swallowing now and hardly spit anything out. It's been a bit tricky for me to learn, but I've got the hang of it now!
I've also gotten good at sitting up. I can even flop onto my tummy to reach things when I'm sitting. I hardly ever fall over anymore, but we still try to keep a pillow behind me. It can get kind of tricky to figure out where to put the pillow, though, because I'm getting good at turning around while I'm sitting up.
Mommy says I'm going to be her climber. I already like climbing with my feet right up the front of whoever is holding me. I like to be on the move and working my muscles.
I am still a very happy baby. I love my puppy, Belle. She makes me smile, wiggle and laugh every time I see her. I also smile really big when William is upset. Usually people smile back at me when I show them my happy baby grins, but those smiles make William angry when he's sad. I wish I could cheer him up when he's feeling like that. He takes things too seriously sometimes.
