I am working on rolling, but can't do it yet. I am able to roll to my side, but not make it all the way over. Mom was being her PT self working in rolling with me when Hannah came over to help. After she initially just basically pushed me over, mom showed her the correct hand holds to facilitate rolling :) a baby PT in training. Everyone quickly realized it was not very safe because Hannah didn't understand "gentle". Mom encouraged her to practice on Minnie Mouse and so Minnie and I practiced rolling together.
We had a big transition this month at home. I started sitting in a high chair and joining the family at meals. I haven't started solid food yet, but at least I " joined the party" as mom and Hannah like to say. Hannah progressed to a booster seat. It is fun and special to sit at the table as a family of 4. Mom loves it!
Hannah started school this month. I go with her for drop off and pick up.
We took our first family vacation this month. We travelled to Banff, Canada. I did pretty good on the flights with minimal crying. Mom and dad were so brave to take on the challenge of traveling. I think we had 12 pieces of luggage. Somehow my tiny self required SO much stuff. We had a pack and play, my stroller, double stroller, diaper bag, pump, 2 car seats, 3 suitcases and carry ons. We made it though and had a great time. We did some hiking, saw Elk, mountain goats, and some other wildlife. Dad promised Hannah black bears, but we never found any. So.... we headed to the zoo before we flew home. They had an amazing black bear exhibit. We saw lots of bears standing on very skinny tree branches VERY high on TALL TALL trees. It was not so funny at the time, but on our first attempt at a "short" 4 mile hike (before we came to our senses and reality set it,), Dad stopped about .25 miles in to ask for a wipe and we all realized that MOM forgot the diaper bag..... Well, that was the end of that. We made a quick turn back around and had a major change of plans. Mom and Dad realized that a 4 mile hike with two kids in backpacks was nothing like their fun pre kid hikes they remembered. We then started doing short walks in the forest and car rides to drive through nature and look for animals :) It was a perfect mistake that got us in the right direction. Mom became a fan of mini vans on this trip.
I have been drooling a lot lately and I love to put my feet in my mouth. I love to smile back at people when they look my way. I am grasping and holding small objects now. I also have started laughing out loud a lot. I especially laught whenever Oakley starts barking. I started sitting in the swing at the park this month. I am starting to push up through my arms when I lay down on my bellow and mom says I am doing great holding my head up when I lie on my tummy on the boppy pillow. I am really strong and already like to put weight through my legs.
Hannah and I have been playing together lately. Mom says it is so cute! She likes to play doctor on me- she gives me shots and listens to my chest. She has even said "I love you Justin" unsolicited. She also likes to say " I am a big sister".
We have spent time swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's this month.
