Dr. Tomek remarked at J's good health and thinks he may be the biggest baby in his practice at his age. We have the go-ahead to gradually start J on table food around 10.5 to 11 months old.
Justin has been doing extremely well. He is crawling, pulling himself up, cruising along the sofa, and climbing the stairs with lightning speed (all with supervision, of course). He is not fond of having his diaper changed and prefers to be stark naked. He is funny and laughs a lot. He imitates facial expressions and is talking like crazy. He does laps in the bathtub and likes to grab the washcloth and whip it around, splashing everything and everyone within a five foot radius. He loves to jump on the bed and adores his daddy. When Grandpa Simpson comes to visit, J will not let him out of his sight. He loves shopping sprees with Grandma DeBadts. He cheers for himself when a cereal puff actually makes it into his mouth, as opposed to landing on the floor. He stops in his tracks when the Marineland commercial or the weather comes on the television.
My little man is becoming his own person with likes and dislikes, distinct personality traits, and a wonderful sense of humor. He continues to bring joy into the lives of everyone he meets.
