It was a fun month of developments. M gets more fun all of the time. M learned that he could push chairs around the downstairs and walk places. He has had a lot of fun developing his walking skills. He is also gingerly releasing his hold on objects and standing independently for a few seconds here and there. Independent walking is going to be here entirely too quickly!He finally sat up independently this month. He has been so close so many times, but he finally sat in a full-upright position for the first time by himself.
Waving his hand and shaking his head 'no' are two new ways that he's learned in the last couple of weeks to get a reaction from people. He thinks he's pretty cool stuff when he performs his new tricks.He slept through the night for two consecutive nights this week! However, then, he was up for a couple hours from 1 to 3 for the next couple of nights. Needless to say, sleeping is still an issue. This week, I started trying to wean him to 1 long nap per day, as it is easier to do school with the bigger kids when he takes one good 3 hour nap. It worked a couple of days.
For the past two Sundays, M has stayed in the nursery at church without needing to be rescued by Mom. It seems like a big accomplishment. I think he's deciding it isn't so bad in there, which makes life a little easier on me.M discovered frozen blueberries this month. He loves frozen blueberries...although his fingers get cold and so he tries to lean down and eat them directly off his tray, which doesn't work. But, he will eat as many as he gets despite the cold fingers. He also ate lots of a beet, sweet potato and applesauce mixture all month. He loved it.
He is really starting to chat at you...especially if he's upset about something. He will give you an earful of gibberish.
He loves to play with my hair as he falls asleep. His little hand is always up there. That isn't new for this month but I do love it and will miss it.
