Well - you started sitting up all by yourself on Monday and now it's all you want to do. You would rather be sitting up than lying down.

I think you are cutting some new teeth because you have been very irritable the past few days and you've been chewing on everything. You are actually chewing on teething rings. When you cut your first two teeth, you wouldn't have anything to do with the teething rings.

We gave you peas this week and you liked them better than you liked the green beans. I think that's because the green beans are thicker than the other veggies we've given you.

You are drinking water and apple juice and you love it. You still eat 6 ounces of formula 4 times a day and you get your fruits and vegetables at lunch and dinner.

You have been in stage 3 diapers for about 2 weeks now. I have packed up most of your newborn and 0-3 month clothes, along with your pacifiers. You haven't taken a passy in months. You'd rather have your thumb and that's fine with us. It's so much cuter that way!!!

You've begun to play peek-a-boo with us. If I put a blanket on your head, you pull it off and smile at me. We played peek-a-boo for almost 10 minutes tonight.

You are very interested in the world around you. I've been taking you on walks outside and you love to sit in your stroller and look at the trees and sky. I hung up your swing outside last Sunday after church. We went outside and Daddy took pictures of you swinging in the swing. You loved it! Really, I just think you like to be outside!! That's great, because Mommy and Daddy like to be outside too! We also let you slide down the slide. I put you at the top and then I'd hold you as you slid down. You liked that too!!

I started bathing you in the big boy tub!! You were out-growing your baby tub. A few weeks ago I got a bath-tub seat for you. The first time I put you in it, you cried and cried. We decided to wait a for a few weeks to try it again. This time you loved it!! You giggled and tried to catch the bubbles.

I hope that means you'll love the swimming pool too!!! We are going to have so much fun this summer!!!


Jesse - You are growing so fast!! I am so proud of you!!! I love you so much!!!!
