Drinking like a Big Boy

Simon is suddenly seems like such a big boy. His six month clothes aren't fitting him anymore (he is seven months, after all!) and looking through our clothes stash we realized we had only one 9-month pajama! Thankfully we had a carters gift card from Uncle George and Aunt Maria to remedy the situation. Jenn went today and picked out bunches of adorable clothes that Simon will start sporting tomorrow after they are all washed - including three new sets of PJs. He is going to be an incredibly well dressed little boy.

We have been feeding him lots of new foods. He loves eating and has been a great sport about everything new we've given him. He even had chicken yesterday! (Pureed with sweet potatoes, which does not smell amazing and has a creepy consistency - as both Colleen and I can attest, Jenn wisely pulled the vegetarian card to avoid it. Simon seems to like it though.) For all that the foods have been going great, the sippy-cup has not been going great. He just doesn't seem to understand what it's for. He has gotten water from it but maybe it's too heavy; regardless, we've moved on to option number two: drinking from a glass.

Video of that and more after the jump...


Drinking like a Big Boy:

He has continued to be adorable in just about everything he does. When he gets excited, his right hand goes straight into his mouth. In fact, whenever anything gets close to his mouth, his hand goes right into his mouth. If something happens to be between his mouth and the hand, it too goes in. The video is of Jenn enticing Simon to eat his hand - it doesn't take much!

In addition his babbling sounds way more like words than his previous 'mmmmm's. Here is a clip of him chatting away to his Auntie Colleen.
