The Great Escape

 

I spent seven weeks trying to teach this kid how to crawl only to miss his first trip around the room but he made up for it this week. He was everywhere. 

He's pretty free range most of the time but because we bring a snappy little dog with us, the playpen was put into use. Look at that. He'd love to figure a way out. He's an escape artist in training. 

I spent most of my time sitting in there with him. We had a good time.

Like his older brother, he has a lot of crazy food allergies so introducing him to foods one at a time has been slow going. He was not on any solids the last time we were sitting but now.....well, it seems raspberries and lentils are his thing. They introduced him to wheat yesterday and we held our breath but he was fine.  Oatmeal and rice were a no go so it's good they found something safe that can fill the boy up. 

Big Brother who will be four in January got a coloring lesson from Grandpa. Both are lefties. It's hard for righties to teach lefties. I know. I was a first grade teacher and it was always a struggle when I had one in my class. 

We also got a preview of the big guys Halloween costume. That light up tail is too cute. 

 On the way up I finished turning the heels on all my socks and on the way home I got a few more rows on the Ski Sweater. It wasn't that hard to say goodbye this time because we'll be back next week when Middle Son comes down from Michigan with my other two little Grands. Four little boys under one roof for the night. It'll be wild.
