For the past month, Jonas has been fighting a double ear infection. This week, it appears that the many antibiotics we've been shoveling down his gullet might be taking effect. He's finally eating like a pig, and pooping like a bird. He's also conquering some chunkier foods. Remember the raisin debacle? Well, he downs them like a pro now. Strike that. I learned today that he actually warehouses them in the corners of his mouth, like a squirrel. Sometimes they will even accidentally fall out as surprising little partially masticated morsels. I swear that he looks like a toddler with Skoal; the raisins are even the same color as "chew."
Today, Jonas was in full business mode, modeling his special "tie t-shirt," a gift from his Aunt Desi.
Some of his new "hobbies / achievements" include:
- crawling into the wet shower to play with soap. He's not eating it yet, and this fun activity usually necessitates an outfit change because he gets quite wet;
- beating his wooden puzzle pieces on the wood floor, which makes a racket that scares the cat and worries the dog;
- waving his arms in the air;
- chewing, gumming, drooling on everything;
- ripping eyeglasses off of adults who get too near his quick little hands;
- sticking his fingers in your mouth to explore;
- banging things together (see number 2 above);
- uttering lots of verbal noises, including a few consonants;
- screaming bloody murder when I leave the room;
- Ed's favorite - climbing over people (usually their legs) like they're an obstacle course;
- pulling himself up on furniture using his teeth.
