Barret is becoming such a big boy! He has learned to pull himself up on people as well as furniture. Yesterday, he pulled up on his toy bin, reached back for me, and then walked himself over to the other side of the bin in order to reach a specific toy. It was so fun to see him do this and see how strong he is getting.
Barret has also been trying to stand up in the tub, and can pull himself to his knees in the water, which I think is just so funny. I keep telling him, standing in the tub is against the rules, but he insists on doing it anyway. (He has already become a rule breaker)
Food is another big change for our little guy. He seems to LOVE carrots and is so excited to eat and try new things. At breakfast we serve oatmeal and apple/blueberry puree. He gobbles this down so fast and is always wanting more. We have also been giving Barret fruit in this little mesh bag thing so he can try out the flavors and get the nutrients but not actually eat the fruit. He LOVES this just as much as his carrots it seems. So far he as tried, watermelon, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, pineapple, grapes(which he absolutely did not like), apples, and cantaloupe; far more fruit than Mama will try :)
Barret has also finally learned to sign milk to us. However, now that he knows and recognizes to do it, it is a constant, almost 24/7 thing he does. It makes me laugh and I am trying very hard to show him a few other signs for water, more, and food. Someday, Barret James, you will learn that not everything is milk!
He also has a big boy reading bench in his room. Daddy made the bench to be an entertainment center, but now that B has his own room, it just seemed to fit in there so much better than for what it was made to be. Mama concocted a padding for the top using foam pieces, an old sheet, and gorilla tape. I must say, for not being very creative when it comes to making furniture and things, it turned out quite well. I love it and it fits in his room so perfectly.
Mr. B has enough hair to make a Mohawk, courtesy of Daddy and a little sunscreen.
He is even trying to understand why Mama is always putting his blocks in the bowl and then taking them out again.
He is getting so big and so strong and even so much more lovable each day!
