Minneapolis Transplant: 22 Weeks, Teething and Snow!

So my 22nd week on the planet was oodles of fun for me and not so much fun for Mommy. You see, she goes back to what they call "the grind" on the 5th and is very, very sad about leaving me with my new teacher, Madeline. What she doesn't understand yet is that I am going to have bundles of fun with all of my new classmates and Mommy might make some new friends, too!

Anyways, some highlights from the week:

Snow
Sitting
School
Zucchini
Teeth

Snow: I saw some sort of white fluffy stuff spitting from the sky last Thursday. To me it looked like dust falling from heaven, but Mommy said it's really the opposite (and they call it "snow"). I had lots of fun watching it out the window at my play date with Dalia and Jonah! The heaven dust didn't stay on the ground, but Dalia told me that if I just wait a couple of weeks (not sure how long that is!) that I'll get my fill of the stuff.

Snow day fun!

Sitting: WHAT THE HAPPY CLOWN?!?! Not sure what this whole "sitting" thing is but MAN does it do something to my tummy (I think it's working my low transverse and potentially the obliques). I reached this developmental milestone over at my playdate with the heaven dust at Dalia's. Yes, I can sit on my own, although I get tired and tip over to the side. Luckily, Mommy has been there to catch me.

Sitting with my hands for balance!

School: I went to visit my new school and the "yellow room" last Wednesday where I'll spend the next year of weekday, daytime hours. Mommy is going to try and keep it to 8-5 even though they'll take me from 6:15-6! That sounds like TOO long to be away from Mommy. She thinks so, too. We toured with the Center Assistant Manager and took home all of these pages Mommy had to fill out. As soon as we walked out the doors, Mommy started acting like me. Daddy called it crying and did exactly what they do for me when I cry...he gave Mommy some food (from Good Day Cafe).

Zucchini: I continued expanding my foods. This time Mommy made it for me from these long, skinny, apparently organic green things at the market. I think it's called Zucchini...I learned that when Daddy yelled to Mommy to come help with the "Zucchini Blowout." They weren't laughing, but I was! I actually really, really like zucchini. Mommy roasted it for me and then used the little choppy thing that Daddy says we don't really need (I think it's called a mini-Cuisenart). It did the job up right! I now eat 1 "cube" (around 2oz) of zucchini a day along with cereal. I'm starting to master the "baby bird" move where I open my mouth as soon as I've finished the last bite. If it makes Mommy smile, I'll keep on doing it!

Thank you Meyer and Mindy for my food cubes!

Curious...what is this yellow truck going to do?

Interested

EXCITED!!!

Ready, set...

Go!!

I'm cool with this, yo!

More Zucchini Mommy!!!

Yep...I like that!

Teeth: still happening and it's making me MAD. I don't understand what's happening, but at least the sweet red stuff at night (Tylenol) seems to help. Gammy said we should use Ambesol, but Mommy told her that doctors don't recommend using that any more with babies. Gammy said Mommy is lucky to be alive with all of the stuff they used to do that's now considered "dangerous" for babies!

Gnawing on my best friend, Sophie

Anyhow, that's about it for the week. Next week will be lots of fun with all of my costumes and stories of the fun Halloween adventures!
