Hi everyone! Just wanted to update you about what JR has been up to the past few days...He is trying his best to crawl; he has the leg movements down pat....if only he could figure out how to move his arms! His patience with the process has definitely gotten better.
He is also sitting up like a pro, and all by himself. It is amazing to see him go from a sitting position to standing (by pulling up on one of us)--his legs are crazy strong.
He is sleeping through the night (yay!!!)....in a new crib. Our first crib was recalled in late June and we had to purchase another one. Remsen did an excellent job (again) putting together the new crib....now all we are waiting for is the recall package so we can be refunded for the first one! Although his snotty nose creates some snoring, he seems to be having some peaceful sleep in his new bed!
JR still loves FOOD! His favorite is rice cereal and has incorporated squash, apples and sweet potatoes (his favorite) into the mix. Bananas did NOT go well at all. Next week we may try a green vegetable. We are lucky to have a good eater thus far! He sits in his chair in our kitchen and stares out (through the french doors) into the backyard.School is going great. JR is truly a "ladies man", as he is the only boy in the room! He gets excited when he sees the teachers and classmates. Remsen takes him to school and I pick him up. The past few days, on the way home from school, JR makes this funny low repeating noise (ahhhh, ahhh) until we get home. His vocabulary has grown incredibly (well, his noise vocabulary!).
He seems to favor Sadie the dog, who is constantly coming over to sniff his head and bring him toys. He watches her intently and reacts when she is playing. She doesn't usually stand still long enough to let him "pet" her (grab her fur and pull), but Polk has been very good about love tugs from JR.
Last, but not least, JR is dimpled everywhere. Dimples on his cheeks, his knees, his elbows, and even on his fingers. It is precious!

did you have a jardine crib from babies r us too? we did the same thing.
glad to see he's doing so well. polly wants to crawl too - but she cant seem to tuck her foot under so she has decided to scoot all over the house on her bottom. it's hilarious - but mobile... so she's happy.
We did have a jardine crib--they had to send us the UPS recall package 3 times before it actually showed up yesterday! What a pain!
Is Polly scooting like a crab? Does she have teeth yet?
What a great little fellow. It's hard to believe that he is growing so fast! ganz
I don't like bananas either, JR. They are mushy and stinky and gross and my dad used to force me to eat them for the potassium. Grrr. I'm sure your parents won't be so cruel! :-)
