The last couple of weeks had been frustrating at meal time... :) Jonathan decided that he was going to be picky and eat only baby food that had banana in it. He didn't want applesauce, pears, peaches, nor any sort of veggie. Every time I tried to feed him something without banana, he would turn his head away, shut his mouth tight, and/or (I think this was one of his personal favs...) let me put the food in his mouth and then he'd lean over the side of the highchair and spit it out on the floor, or turn to me and spit it at me. So that has been lots of fun... lol. Luckily he's decided to try some different foods again. Lately he's again had pear, applesauce, sweet potato and squash. Maybe if I just give him the simpler ones (not the combinations of foods or blends)for awhile he'll be more interested in eating things other than banana!
Yesterday Jonathan decided he was not going to sleep for longer than 15 minutes at a time. He would just not go to sleep! It was an exhausting day! He's been exploring our home more and I think he was just so excited to be able to get where he wants to go. Yes, yes, he is crawling! Actually, some of the time he is crawling. Other times he pulls himself across the floor with his arms and drags the rest of his body behind him! Its funny to watch and SO cute! And we realized we need to BABYPROOF! Everytime I put him down on the floor, he immediately goes towards our tv or our dvd player! Right now, I'm wondering why I decided having our dvd player on the bottom shelf of our bookcase was a good idea! I think we're going to have to change some things around soon here. We decided to get the Superyard XT today. :) Its like those gates that you put across doorways, except there are 6 panels that enclose to make a playpen for your little one. We tried it out today, and its nice that he doesn't need me to be on the floor with him to make sure he doesn't get into anything! Our living room is VERY VERY small! It only takes him a few moves to get somewhere he shouldn't be lol. At the end of the day yesterday we found out that he had a little rash on his tummy! :( He had gone the day with only a diaper on because it was so hot, and got a rugburn. I felt so bad for him. Luckily it was gone by this morning! He'll have to wear a shirt until he can learn to keep his belly off the carpet when he crawls!
Today my sister watched Jonathan and my friend Vanessa and I went into Portland to the Clackamas Town Center. It was so much fun, and a much needed trip! I don't get out of the house much without Jonathan (which is largely due to the fact that I don't like being away from him very much!) but I've needed a day where I could go somewhere new! I haven't ever been to the Town Center before (I don't recall anyways), and there were a lot of interesting stores there. But it was good to be back and see my little boy- I had missed him a lot!
