Well this crawling thing is old hat to you, you're a speedy little guy always on the move, but now you're all about standing. You would like to walk, but you haven't figured that out yet. You do stand for long periods of time, I believe that you get stuck, since you'll get tired and lay your head down on whatever you are holding onto for support, when you could just sit down, but you're stubborn that way. Very stubborn, that comes from your father's side. But I have to watch you like a hawk now, no more sitting on the bed and I have to shut the door to your room if I have to switch out the laundry since you're likely to make a bee-line to the stairs. I've also had to master the baby gate, since you want to go up every set of stairs you can wiggle your way to. You can make it easily up the short 4 steps, but you get tried trying to make it up the larger steps.Eating has been very hit and miss. Formula is something that you only want very sparingly and now the baby food isn't cutting it for you half the time. If it's big people food or you can feed yourself, you're all about it. The problem comes from you not having any teeth and that makes
just giving you our meals a little tough on me since I have to put everything into bite size tiny pieces. I also have to pace you since if it'll still fit into your mouth, you'll stuff it in. You adore chicken nuggets and pasta of any kind. Our new thing is making you buttery Parmesan noodles that you can fit yourself with minimal mess, you'll end up eating about as much as your big sister if that's your meal. I got you some bananas since I figured that would be good finger food, but you don't really care for them (I totally get that, I'm not a banana person myself) but strawberries are the bomb. You have expensive tastes already, you won't eat the bananas at 69 cents a pound, you want the berries are over 2 bucks a pound. You're a big pizza and french fry fan, you love oatmeal and scrambled eggs, but apparently hard boiled eggs are not for you as of this morning. It's two bad I made almost 2 dozen for Easter thinking that you would love them.
Sleeping has lost some of it's pattern. Your naps still come at regular intervals usually, but you will sometimes sleep for hours or 45 minutes without rhyme or reason, days I think you'll take a long nap end up being super short which is a pain for getting homework done. This month you also had some kind of illness and for about 3 days, you slept almost constantly, up for only an hour or so at at time 
then taking 3 hour naps, when you got a rash I took you to the insta-care but they said it was just a virus and you'd be fine.Today is Easter and you spent some time exploring the grass, seeing the neighbor's dogs and having a having good time, I can't wait for the summer to more outside activities. You also took your first nose dive off the pew at church, you'll be fine, but there is a little bump. When you are determined to go somewhere, no matter how much i try to stop you, it's likely you will success. But don't worry, I'll be there to scoop you up and kiss it better.
Love you,Mama
