Daddy's Little Helper

This picture really doesn't pertain to anything I'm going to write about (I think Rooney is showing Mike how to use Excel), but we have not taken many pictures the last couple of weeks, and I thought it was cute, so I threw it in. I was hoping to post the video that I intended to post in the last entry, but it's still not edited (no pressure Mike).

However, there have been a few new things happening. As you know I have already started Roonster on baby food. He is eating well off a spoon now and has on occasion grabbed the bowl out of my hand. Apparently I'm not getting it in his mouth quick enough. I think Courage and Rocco are wishing I would look away, just for a second.

Since this photo was taken, Rooney has tried several new foods. In this picture he is eating sweet potatoes. Each week I have introduced a new food and since then he has eaten carrots (some may call them "carrots of death"), bananas, peas & apples. He really seemed to like the apples. We also increased the amount of formula per feeding. He's as tall as a 1yr old and it's tempting to have him eat like one. I've almost bought him biter biscuits several times but I know he's just not ready yet.

There hasn't been alot of progress with the crawling, although he is sitting up pretty well now. Sometimes when he gets a little too excited he'll topple over. However, this allows him easy access to the crawling position and he'll crawl, scoot or whatever it is he is doing, backwards into the bottom of the couch. It's really cute and sad to watch at the same time. He's trying so hard to do something, we're just not quite sure what it is at this time.
