Wow, have we been busy! We survived 3 snow storms! In the big snowpocolypse, we ended up getting upwards of 30 inches, which was a record in Maryland. Later that week, we ended up with another 8 inches - it's incredible! We took Jared out for some pictures, and the snow was even taller than he was. :)
Jared is babbling a lot. His favorite sound right now is ba-ba-ba. I keep trying to get him to change that to ma-ma or da-da, but he just laughs at me when I say that.
Jared's bottom middle 2 teeth are coming in. They don't seem to be giving him too much trouble, except sometimes he gets crabby, and now I can blame that on teething. :) He doesn't "kiss" my chin anymore, since it really hurts my chin. And he's damaged some of his books by chewing on them. He's also started chewing on the crib - I try to give him a teething ring when I see that happening.
Talking about the crib, it is so hard to get him to nap now. He loves rolling all around his crib, and rolling over onto his tummy to push himself up. I usually have to give him about 30 minutes play time in the crib before I actually try to get him to sleep. He acts tired until he gets to the crib, then he gets all kinds of energy! He just loves moving - he has started bring his knees up beneath him, but hasn't figured out what to do with the crawling pose yet.
Jared is such a good eater! It is funny though - he will eat the food with no problems, but he never seems overly expressive about the food, whether good or bad. Although, I think his favorite food so far is oatmeal. So far, he's eaten barley, rice, oatmeal, acorn squash, yellow bell pepper, pumpkin, sweet potato, avocado, peas, green beans, cinnamon, and all spice. We'll be trying carrots next, I've heard they're usually a favorite.
I will try to keep up better with the blog, but as you can see, I've got my hand full! :)
Call us sometime on Skype if you want to see the Jared Show of him rolling all over the bed and babbling! He usually is good for a performance. :)
