Getting to be a such a big boy

Well, after a slight issue with too many bananas in Wade's diet we decided to do some research on what else he could eat. It turns out that when they're ready babies can try pretty much any new foods (within reason- I think jalapenos and steak are a no no for awhile), it doesn't just have to be rice cereal and bananas. They are just the suggested foods by tradition! I guess constipation is also a tradition... So we did some experimenting with pears- they turned out to be a big hit! I have a feeling there isn't going to be much this kid turns down in the food department.

He has also out-grown the sink :( So lately we've been giving him a bath in the bath tub! He isn't quite sitting up yet, so we have to use a little mesh recliner to prop him up until he can graduate to his own mini-tub. He loves it and splashes happily every time!

Speaking of sitting up, Wade is starting to sit up on his own. Even if it's just for a few seconds at a time, that's still progress! He hasn't quite mastered the rolling over yet, but he is nearly there too. I was thinking he might do all the developmental stuff a little "late" because he is carrying a few extra pounds, but he's such a mover and shaker, I think he's going to try and keep up with all the other babies. I will try to get some pictures, but it's such a quick accomplishment, it's hard to capture on camera. Maybe video would be better...

Wade has also started teething, and if I'm looking at it correctly (which I could absolutely not be), it almost looks like he's getting in 6 at once... I have had confirmation from an experienced mommy who agrees that it's at least 4. Needless to say, there is a lot of biting and drooling going on around here. Especially since he has learned to blow raspberries lately!

Grandma and Grandpa K. are coming into town tomorrow, I can't wait for them to see Wade! They haven't seen him since he was 2 weeks old, except via video-cam. It will be interesting to see if Wade recognizes their voices. I will definately have some good pictures to post of this visit and the upcoming wedding!! :)
