What's New with Me?
Well, not much is really new with me. I finally got over that stupid stomach bug. I feel kinda bad, because I gave it to Mommy & Daddy, but it will be okay. Mommy thinks I may finally be cutting teeth, because I haven't been sleeping too well & I have been running a low-grade fever for the past few days. Not to mention that you can see my upper canines through the gums, so maybe they will be out soon. I know that it's hard for everyone to be around me, because I am so fussy, but I'm still really lovable, of course!
I turned 5 months old on July 25! I can't believe how fast time has flown! I'm really getting big now, and I am learning new things every day. I'm talking more & more each day & I am using my hands more. I really like to reach out & feel Mommy's face. I also like to rub her back while she is giving me my bottle in the middle of the night. That is "our time". I like it so much that I refuse to sleep through the night yet, just so I get to spend some time alone with Mommy.
I got to try some sweet potatoes a couple nights ago! I really liked them. Mommy said that I really wasn't supposed to start solids until I was 6 months, but that I was showing all the signs of being ready for them, and she really didn't want to give me cereal, so we are going to see how I do with a little bit of solids. I've only had 1/2 a jar a night for the past 3 nights, and I've only had sweet potatoes, so we shall see how it goes. Mommy doesn't want to give me more than one new kind at a time, so that she will be able to tell what it is I'm allergic to if I have a reaction.
I also started at daycare last week. I did really well. I have been there for a week & 2 days now. It's a home daycare, so there aren't that many other kids, but Ms. Aggie is a real nice lady. She takes good care of me each day. I really miss being with my Gigi and my Aunt Gin-Gin, though. I hope I get to see them again soon. I had a lot of fun with them.
Other than that, things are going really well. We will be going for my six-month family pictures in September, so I will be sure to put those up here & also send pictures to family & friends, as long as I have your address.
I love you all and hope everyone is doing well!
