Two thousand and nine
Wow, that was fast. It seems like 2008 zoomed right by. Since it’s the first day of the new year, I thought I’d give everyone a quick update of where we (mostly Sebastian) are at.
Walking: He’s almost there. We’re pretty sure he can if he really wanted to, but he’s pretty content to stand, cruise and crawl. He loves to play what we call the ‘boomy game’ where he stands up, raises his hands over his head, and then slams himself down on the ground/bed/parent.
Teeth: Done. His first tooth – bottom left front – popped out from the gum last week. One down, a lot to go.
Playing: He’s on an empty-everything kick – books from the bookshelf, pots from the kitchen cabinets, etc. Unfortunately for us, he hasn’t figured out how to put everything back the way he found it yet. His newest favorite toy is the soccer ball; he’s really good at rolling it and catching it. He also loves his wooden sushi set and his bongos that he got for Chanukah.
Food: He loves oatmeal, turkey, cheese, zucchini, red peppers, pancakes, butternut squash, peaches, mango/banana smoothies, blueberries and many other things.
Travel: We just got a new carseat for him. He started to outgrow his original car seat, so we bought the bigger, front-facing seat.
Sleep: He’s slowly getting better. He has been getting some four hour chunks of sleep lately, mixed in with some threes and twos. He typically has one nap in the middle of the day, and when it’s time to go to bed, he almost always goes to sleep very easily.
Housing: Our lease is coming up for renewal in April, and the housing market has tanked and mortgage rates are dipping down towards 5%, so it looks like, if we can get a mortgage, we’ll be looking to buy a house.
War & Peace: Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to read as much of it as I would have liked, plus it’s difficult to read to him in the mornings now that he’s so mobile and he doesn’t really sit still for more than a minute or two. I think we’re up to page 179.
That should be it for now. If I’m missing something, leave a comment and I can add it in.
