One day, he drove the "Rocket Ship Cart" at the commissary. He sat and played and decided he was going to have a great time just as my back was giving out with him in the sling. That same day he fed himself "triangles" which were made out of "circles of zucchini at dinner. (language we use with Ella ) I then realized how good he has been feeding himself. He makes his mouth almost every time. The next day he started showing us that he could crawl forward but prefers to "army crawl" across the floor. You can see in his eyes his desire to go places. It is obvious that he has been planning carefully over the past 9.5 months all the "bad" places he wants to explore. He focuses tirelessly on cords, outlets and anything that he can potentially pull on top of himself or put in his mouth that he should not. Ella was not interested in any of these things. I'm afraid we are not prepared for this boy!
Finally today he started saying "DaDa." Where has my baby boy gone!?
In other news, Rudy is officially done nursing. I'm so sad to have to have stopped but we have been fighting a horrid thrush problem for months that has turned resistant to just about everything. He is taking a bottle of formula now, 3 times a day. Really, when people say formula is expensive.....yeah they aren't kidding! I realize that I have been pregnant or breast feeding for 3 years now and this will be it for me! Or will it?
Today "Big" Tyler is coming to town and Ella, Rudy, AJ, Tyler and I are going to hit the Gator pool. It will be a big day for the kids!
