Oh where, oh where is the time going? One more month and Rocco will be 1? Why did God make the baby-ness of a child so short?
Rocco continues to be the sweetest thing. He always has a smile. He gives the best slobbery kisses with his mouth wide open. He really never cries or fusses unless he is sick or it is past his 7:00 bedtime.
He is eating us out of the house. He is really growing out of the jarred baby food and wants to eat what we are eating. He loves green beans (like Miss J), peas, apples (he and J can eat a whole one in one sitting), chicken, carrots, potatoes, pancakes, yogurt (all kinds), noodles, and on and on. BUT even with all of this eating, he has really slimmed down. No longer the chunky monkey, all of his moving around has made him a lean machine.
Right now, he takes about 5 or 6 steps at a time. If it is farther than that, then he reverts to crawling.
I have been watching for more teeth in the predictable places. Silly Mommy!! I was not looking for two molars to pop through but would explain the massive amount of drool coming out of his mouth. Now he is up to 9 teeth – 6 on top and 3 on bottom.
Finally, his sounds have exploded. He is babbling all of the time. He still says Dada but now makes an –il sound for Jillian, the di- sound for diapers. He can also very clearly say “apple.” I know I don’t speak baby but I feel he says “Ba-Ba” instead of Mama. Where is the m sound? We haven’t heard it yet.
Yesterday, we took him to the Dr. because he was wheezing and coughing, but the Dr. diagnosed him with a double ear infection so he is not feeling great this week.
I have not taken his picture yet but I will leave you with his favorite activity.
