Look Who's a Big (Little) Man!


Orion gets cuter every day, I swear. I know I'm biased, but just look at those cheeks! So smoochable!
He's officially crawling now, though rather slowly. He can sit up quite well, and he can also pull up to standing - he's even beginning to 'cruise' just a little bit, pulling himself along and taking very hesitant steps. The only position that really stumps him is lying flat on his back. He's like a turned-over turtle! He's not quite sure what to do, and will lay there flailing and upset until I give him a hand up to sitting. Occasionally he will figure out that he can roll over and then get to crawling or sitting from that position, but he hasn't discovered that it's always going to work!
We're still experimenting with new foods. He loved soft-boiled egg yolk the other day; today he thought it was gross (but a lot of fun to play with!) His intake of goat's milk has gone up quite a bit, as the pediatrician told us to increase his calories at our last visit. He still nurses a few times a day - and he still loves those pureed fruits! I've been teaching him to eat some soft fruits and veggies, like peaches, avocado, and banana... He's getting used to it. He looks at me like I'm totally crazy, but he does enjoy playing with the food bits. He gets more baths these days, too, as you can imagine! He was covered in egg yolk this morning. So silly!
