Peas

Louis sure likes his peas, which is more than I can say about myself and Andy. Once he gets a hold of the spoon it goes into the mouth at lightening speed.

Video to come later. Peas are much easier to clean up than beets.

Frustrated

I had to pretend I wasn't there and hide behind the couch in order to get this video. If I would have announced my presence it would have changed the whole thing, which is why you don't hear me offering any words of encouragement. He is so frustrated, but he is doing well. Our days are numbered as far as leaving him unattended in the next unbabyproofed room.




In other news, his two top front teeth have broken the gums! This may have happened awhile ago but it was just yesterday I was able to get a peek. For someone who puts everything in his mouth it's ridiculous how tight lipped he gets when he knows you WANT to get in it. If he wasn't a complete clone of me and Andy, this is another way I would know he was for sure our child and not switched at birth in the hospital. This kind of stubbornness takes generations to grow and nurture to the point of manifesting at 8 months. Holy crap, did I just write 8 months? Time is flying.

Dumbass

Somebody parked like this. Can you believe it? Still sticking halfway out into the parking lot. Even Lou disapproves.

Roly Poly

Here's Louis showing how he gets around. By rolling and desperate attempts to crawl that end in frustration. He much prefers for you to hold him up so he's standing.

Great invention

This little mesh feeder with a handle is ruling our life right now.  Louis can hold it himself and gum on frozen bananas and a few other fruit purees that have been frozen in ice cube trays. He loves it.
