7 Months
It
 drives me nuts that I'm missing so many things that I should be writing down but I just don't have the time!, that or, I forget to. I 
shouldn't admit that to you! But sometimes sleep is more alluring then 
my garish computer screen. Let's see.... Well you've been sitting up on 
your own for over a month now. You saw Ryleigh do it one day and decided
 that you could do it too. Within 2 days of seeing her sit on her own 
you were also sitting on your own. Of course you couldn't sit up for 
longer then 2 seconds before flopping over on your side, but it didn't 
take you long to master it. 
You love to eat 
Avocados, Bananas, Sweet potatoes, Parsnips, Carrots and Banana Rice 
cereal. You however hate pretty much everything else. But I just can 
bring myself to believe that you don't like fruit. Especially apple 
sauce! So I keep trying and you very calmly refusing to eat it. I'll 
manage to get the first spoon full in. That's when you give me a look of disappointment mixed with mild disgust, and after that your lips are 
sealed. There is no way you will let another spoon full past your lips. 
In a desperate attempt to immaturely show you how very wrong you are I 
take your spoon and I eat the entire contents in front of you while 
Mmmmmming and Yummmming in your face. You however don't seem to care 
that I'm enjoying your food. 
I took you last 
Wednesday to get your second set of vaccinations. This time I was much 
braver then last and went with out the aid of your father. The Dr. was 
so impressed with your mild mannerisms and contentment. But you were 
naked and in a new room. That's all it really takes to keep you happy. 
Hopefully by the time you are 10 you'll have grown out of that. I'd hate
 for the neighbors to call me one afternoon to tell me that my son is 
lounging in their computer room nude with a giant grin of contentment on
 his face. Your grin turned to disappointment when the Dr. and nurse 
inserted their needles in your upper thighs though. You looked calmly at
 one, then turned your head calmly to the other and within seconds of 
your accusing glare your entire head turned red and you let out a scream
 of rage. But I was prepared. I took your soother, dipped it in maple 
syrup, and inserted it rapidly into your mouth causing instant relief. 
You love maple syrup. I wonder if when you are older and your back hurts
 from working hard in the yard you'll have a sudden craving for maple 
syrup? I give it to you when ever you are so upset that I can't calm 
you.  
After your Dr.s appointment I took you 
to Toys R Us to buy you and excersaucer for being such a good boy. It 
took me 2 hours to put it together. You sat next to me on the floor 
while handling the pieces and smashing them on the floor. It is now your
 favourite toy. And really how could it not be? It's a circle of crazy 
flashing, noisy jungle fun!
There is so much 
more but I'm too tired to remember any of it so I'm going to go to bed. 
When I see you in the morning I"m sure I'll remember the rest and I'll 
be back to write it down for you.
