Kisses and Pulling Himself Up

Here is Talon giving me kisses! It's the best!



Talon can now also pull himself up into a standing position, though he has only done it on the couch so far. He's very proud of his accomplishment!

Sippy Cup!

Talon can drink out of a sippy cup! Sort of. He holds it up to his mouth and can almost tilt it enough to drink out of. The doctor said that since he is on solids to give him some water throughout the day if he needs it. She even told us a sign to show him so that he will understand the sign for "drink". I show him the sign before I give him the sippy cup and give him a sip. Here's a photo of him holding it by himself!

Homemade Baby Food (otherwise known as "yuck!")

So Talon's not a fan. I tried for the first time making my own baby food when Mike and I were having roast chicken one night. I blended organic purple carrots from our Durham Organics delivery and made Talon his first meal. As I said, he's not a fan. I can't figure out why! When I did the Make It and Take It class where we made our own baby food we used the same process. Boil, puree, freeze, heat, eat. Maybe the carrots I made weren't blended to perfection, who knows. But anyways, here's proof that he didn't enjoy the first meal made by mom.

More Teeth and Waving Bye-bye!

Talon has two more teeth! His left and right eye teeth came through on April 29th. He seemed to be in more pain when these ones came through than with his first and second teeth. Poor buddy.

Talon also has waved bye bye! He copied me when I was opening and closing my hand waving at him. After a few tries he repeated it and then did it to the waitress at the sushi restaurant, haha. He has done it a few times since then!

Clowning Around

Here's Talon clowning around with Mommy!

Fun in the Sun!

Here's Talon outside enjoying the sun!

Busy Boy!

I have Talon enrolled in just about every baby class there is. Hey, they're free and it gets us out of the house and meeting new moms and babies!
We will go to Mom & Baby Yoga in May along with Stroller Fit. We did Stroller Fit in January as well. We also go to Mother Goose and Books and Bounces where we sing nursery rhymes the babies listen to stories. He really enjoys the songs and smiles and laughs!
We go swimming a lot now and Talon loves it! He likes being pulled in the swim chair and chasing floating balls around the pool. He also likes playing with the sprinklers they have at the pool and dunks his head in it!
