Going Mobile

So this title is the song that my mom says is Steven's theme song right now. Its a Who song and pretty cute, but definitely suites him. He isn't crawling, but working towards it. He scoots his butt up then straightens out and pulls forward on his arms. He rolls from tummy to back with ease and has even rolled from back to tummy a few times. He seems to do the second better in his crib. The other day I put him down for his nap and went into the kitchen to do dishes and looked down at the monitor and he had turned over and made his way over to the camera and was looking at it. I about died laughing because I could see his little face looking into the camera. I thought "We're in trouble now!"

He has been enjoying more solid foods too. I really enjoy the satisfaction of making his own food. He has eaten squash, avacado and now apples. He is growing so much too. I get a lot of looks when people look at him and then me and a few have asked if he is my baby. Sorry I lost all my baby weight and he got it. He isn't really all the fat, he's pretty long too so it stretches out. He is about to outgrow his carseat soon, his feet are starting to reach the edges. I feel like every day is an adventure.  He isn't changing as rapidly as he was before, but definitely moving forward. He isn't a baby anymore. He wants to do things and grab things and gets bored. He is pretty self entertaining, but he'll let you know when he is ready for the next thing. He loves being outside too and when we went to my cousin Kira's son's birthday party, Steven got his first experience with an outdoor swing and loved it. We went and bought one and Mike just have to put it up. I love that Steven seems to like everyone and make them happy. Its nice to bring that joy to people.

We have our next big step coming up. Mike will be away camping with my dad the same weekend I have my dance recital, so my in-laws Mike and Shelley will be coming to our house to keep Steven. It will be my first whole day being away from Steven. I think I'm more worried about me than him. It will be hard being away that long, but I know it will be a good step for everyone and my in-laws are so excited to keep him. I will try to write an update on how it goes. Here is a video of Steven looking into the monitor!!
