Mobility update



(a few fairly unrelated recent pictures... the second one shows Jack's new skill of pushing up onto his knees... the bottom one is him enjoying a bite of blue whale... the top one is just my sill face monster...)

Tonight, while we were out enjoying the spring sunshine on a blanket in the backyard, Jack rocked back and forth on his hands and knees for the first time. When informed of this news, Nat's response was "oh boy," said with more than a little bit of fear...

Jack also enjoyed pulling out handfuls of grass from the yard, this evening. He actually got a little manic about it, with a look on his face that seemed to say, "oh my, there is just so much of this stuff. If I just keep pulling I'll get it all... no, wait, there's still more.... keep pulling... keep pulling!!" Amazingly, he did not try to eat the grass. He's reserving that for Cheerios. He is obsessed with Cheerios. And, he has become quite proficient at getting them into his mouth; he can now handle 2-3 at a time and he will eat them whenever they are offered. This is not true for any other foods-- even avacado must be offered at the right time if we want him to eat more than a bite or 2. I really hope the kiddo expands his tastes at some point and that he does not become one of those children who eat only 3 specific foods that are all in the same color family.
