first tooth for baby Q

Actually, now it's two bottom teeth! Unlike his older brother, he had a tough time with teething. Poor kid. Hopefully the others will be easier (other teeth that is, not babies).

Sitting!

It's now official. Baby Q has learned to sit. Not even leaning on his arms, but actual sitting. It only lasts a minute or so, and then he slowly topples over, but it's sitting. For that minute, he's quite happy to have use of both hands, which he uses to grab whatever toy is close by and cram it into his mouth.

Rolling over!

Yes, little baby Q is now rolling over. Started last week, and I missed the first time. Ok, I missed the first three times. He was in the den and would wait until I would leave the room for a minute.

On Saturday I put him on his back on the floor and stood over him with the camera until he finally rolled over for me. Yeah, that was a long five minutes. I'll need to do lots of editing on that video. No one needs 4.5 minutes of me rambling on.

Now we're at the lovely stage where I put him to bed on his back, he rolls over, and then wakes himself up and gets upset because he can't roll back yet.

New Phrases

A few more commonly used phrases from N:
- "That's not part of the plan" (or part of the deal)
- "That's what I'm talking about"
- "Good job Mom/Dad. High five!"
- "We've got work to do!"
- "Hopey dokey!"
- "I'll never have anything again in my whole life" which seems to be morphing into "I'll never have anything again in the whole world". Always said in an incredibly sad voice. It's becoming the response to any denial on my part (no more tv, no more cookies, blah blah blah)

Knock Knock...

N is really liking knock knock jokes, but he doesn't quite get how they work. Here's an example of how they go at our place, no matter how many times I try to correct him:

Me: "Knock knock"
N: "Who's at the door"
Me: "Boo"
N: "What does Boo say?"

Yeah, so that kind of kills the punch line. We'll stick to the "banana, banana, orange" one for now. Lucky for me (?) he's ok with repeating the same joke over and over again.

32 Week Ultrasound

Pudgy baby. It weighs a bit more than expected for 32 weeks, so the SUA seems to have no affect.

The tech took some great 3D photos too.

Letter Recognition

N recognizes one letter. The letter 'S'. When he sees a sign with an S on it, he points and says "Look Mom. Like Shrek!". Ok, I guess we've watched that movie a few times...
