The doctor was very pleased at his ability to sit up and push himself up with straight arms. She said he should be cut back to 4 feedings/bottles per day and that he should have baby food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. He can even start with some finger foods: puffs, Cheerios, and soft pasta. Right now, it is really more for him to practice picking it up - he likely won't get the concept and actually eat finger foods for a while.
Despite being so tiny, he is doing a lot of big boy things. He can actually play at the playground now - he loves the swings and the teeter totter. He started playing with some of Will's cars and trucks. And you can see the wheels turning when you put an object just out of reach - yesterday he tried so hard to crawl towards a diet pepsi can (he clearly is one of us!). He can get his knees under him and will push himself up and rock towards an object. When he tries to crawl he ends up scooting backwards... I remember Will did the same things. But he knows he can roll to get where he needs to go.
Will loves playing with Alex. He dances and does silly things to make him laugh. He helped with feeding him yesterday. And he will give Alex toys when they fall and will push the buttons on his musical toys when they stop. But yesterday, he took away a little bumpy ball Alex was playing with. I don't think he did it to be mean - he just didn't realize it would be an issue. Well, Alex looked like his heart was broken. He got the biggest frown/pout on his face and his eyes filled up with tears and he just cried and cried. Will felt pretty bad and gave it back to him right away but it took a while for him to calm down.
