Mr. Attitude

Cory has developed a fun new habit of giving us furrowed eye brows and pouty lips to show his displeasure. We can't help but laugh at him and his frown very quickly turns into a smile. I mean, how could you NOT laugh at that? Priceless.

We have started Cory on real food. Before he was only eating Gerber ravioli and other packaged meals. Now we're starting to let him eat food with us. He had some BBQ chicken the other night and loved it! We haven't really gotten utensil usage down so he sticks to using his hands.

We've discovered that he has a fondness for fruits. Loves strawberries, pears, bananas, and watermelon. Today he'll be having mac n' cheese, pears, and cooked carrots for lunch.

It's just hard to believe how big he is, how much he has grown and how smart he is getting. He learns so quickly. The other night, the fan in his room was turned off (which it never is) and while Chris was feeding him his night bottle Cory sat up, looked at the fan, did some baby talk and snapped his fingers at it. Chris turned it back on and Cory went back to his bottle. He knows stuff and he watches us so closely. He learned to snap and call the dog because that's what we do.

Another wonderful discovery for us is The Wiggles. Apparently it's a big deal, but we didn't know that. Found them on Netflix as a full length dvd of just music and dancing. Cory loves it!! No matter what he's doing or how upset he is, this dvd captivates him. He sways, claps, and stomps his feet. It was during one of these viewings that he figured out how to walk backwards and sideways. Everyday it's something new!

I believe this weekend will be Cory's first try at coloring. We have big paper and fat crayons. I'll just be happy if he doesn't mark up the table or eat the crayon!
