In addition to getting taller and becoming more dexterous, Go Go has done some serious developing. He has learned to sit up by himself (for short periods of time) so we have had to start belting/buckling him into his chairs, swings, etc. to prevent face dives onto the floor. We have been feeding him baby cereal about once a day and he loves it so much that he makes a "mmmm" noise after each bite. Anytime we are drinking out of a cup, he sticks his hands out and opens his mouth for a taste (about 50% of the water actually makes it past his lips). Before we dunk him underwater, we count down by saying "1,2,3" and then we blow into his face. Now, when we get to 3, he closes his eyes and gets ready for the dunking! And, possibly the biggest deal, he put himself to sleep (by crying for 10 minutes) all by himself! Hopefully, there aren't too many more of those crying sessions, but we thing it was a pretty good step.
UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS POST - Earlier this week, we blogged about Gordy shoveling a ridiculous amount of sand into his mouth. Although at the time it didn't seem like a big deal to me, apparently, it was. Gordy spent the entire night puking all over the place and had a pretty red bum for days after while he poo'd sand. Take-home message: maybe babies shouldn't be allowed to do everything that they want to do. Also, maybe we need to get one of those cones that you put around a dog's neck for Gordy while at the beach.
