Took a week off
Decided to take a week off the webosphere… I was overworked, overtired and not getting much sleep. That led to me feeling a little depressed. I could still do with a little more sleep but other than that, I am feeling much better this week.
Anthony turned 11 months this month. You would think I should be used to this by now - the way time just flies. After all, he’s not my first child; he’s the third. But, it never ceases to amaze me how fast they grow and then, soon, a day comes, when mom is no longer their most favorite person in this world… Alexander is already there. Dad is much higher on the list than mom… He’s always telling me to go to work so Dad can stay home with him…
So, let’s list accomplishments… Anthony is clapping, waving and “talking” up a storm. He’s got his four front teeth (two up and two down). He’s working on two more (up) now. They seem to be coming in all at once! I guess that’s the price we get for teething pretty late. He’s walking all over the place. Both older brothers started walking only after their first birthday but Anthony’s been walking since before turning 10 months. He loves planes! Every evening when we go for our walk, when he hears or sees a plane, he gets all excited and points and looks at them until after they are out of sight. I guess it’s good we live close to the airport. He’s also a master toilet roll un-raveller (is that a word?) and a master stair climber. In fact, he will try to climb anything he gets!
He’s eating peaches, bananas, rice, peas, carrots, apricots, grapes, avacado. We tried egg yolk but I think it did not agree with him. He was pretty miserable that afternoon. So, maybe next time, I’ll try half the yolk instead of a full one. I’ve also tried ground beef but he hasn’t taken to the taste yet. May take a few more tries before he likes it.
