Twenty Eight Weeks

This Sunday we decided that Finn officially “sat up” by himself. He’s been trying for the past couple of weeks and he was finally able to stay balanced enough for us to consider it a legit sit up. Each day he tries it out and gets a little bit stronger. He is also very close to crawling. Well, at least I think so. He gets on his knees and rocks back and forth quite vigorously and I can tell he is wanting/trying to push up on his hands. It is really looks quite hilarious. He is such a cutie! Like for example, today, he was watching me verrrry intently as I ate some peanuts. I suppose I was making some smacking noises because when he caught my eye, he started to mimic me and make some smacking noises/chomping motions of his own. I kept pretend-chewing to see what he would do and he followed right along with me. I am often eating some sort of snack while nursing and this whole mommy eating thing is fascinating to him. And now that he is sitting in his booster seat at the table with us, he has become all the more interested. Finn is ready for food, no doubt. I have been in no hurry whatsoever because I believe that food at 6 months old isn’t a necessity. And honestly, breastfeeding is just so easy and so convenient and the most perfect form of nourishment that I haven’t really wanted to rock the boat. However, we’re going to go ahead and introduce Finn to some baby foods, one at a time, starting in a couple of weeks. Sweet potato, bananas, avocados and whole grain cereals, here we come! We will be spacing each new food out by at least 4 days so it will be a slow process. I am totally fine with that!
