Quick Updates

Yesterday, Goob started army crawling and he even tried to get up on his hands and knees. I'm sure he'll be fully mobile by the New Year.

Tomorrow, the Goobie and I are flying to Houston to spend a few days with my parents. I'm terrified of the hour long flight. Wish us luck.

We have a tooth!

So Goob pulled my finger into his mouth and OUCH! There was something sharp in there. My first thought was "Oh crap! What did he pick up and put in his mouth?" Then I looked and I can see some white coming through. It's gonna end up being the left bottom front tooth! Exciting!

Bananas

Just a quick update. We started bananas last night. Goob loved them. He kept opening his mouth for more and more. Yay!

Pictures to follow.

We started solids on Saturday!

We're working on rice cereal now. It was fun....

....and messy.

He's just getting rice cereal for the next two weeks. Then we'll start adding a new fruit or vegetable every 5 days. Yum!

Goob says "Look what I can do!"

Hola!

"I'm bored. What should I do?"

"Let me try this"

"Hey, this is neat!"

"Ta-da! Look what I can do! Haha. Mommy and Daddy are in trouble now!"

He laughed!

Goob gave his daddy his first and second laugh last night. And then some more laughs this morning.

He hasn't given Mommy any laughs. I guess I'm just not as funny as Dad.

Happy 1st Father's Day!

J got an amazing present! A big toothless grin!

Today was Goob's first real smile!!! I was just taking some pictures of him and J for Father's Day when all of a sudden he just smiled! I screamed for J to look at him and then tried to take a picture, but since I have the slowest camera ever, I didn't get a shot of him. So I tried to make him smile again but acting crazy. I had my camera aimed and ready and he did!!! And then he smiled again!! We've never seen his face light up like this. It was the most amazing moment.

And you can really tell he's his father's son by his eyes. They narrowed when he smiles, just like Daddy!
