Arthur: 27 Weeks

J’s still gone this week for work, so it’s just Arthur and I.  After our car adventure this past weekend, we are hopefully back to normal.

Likes: Anything to chew on, mom cuddles (bit clingy this week), his blankets

Dislikes**:** Playing by himself, not eating fast enough

Sleeping: He’s been sleeping straight through from 7pm to 6am.  This is so amazing!  I have no idea what I did to get him there, but I love getting some actual sleep.

Eating: Moving forward with trying new foods.  He hasn’t met one he doesn’t like yet.  He’s especially loving the vanilla puffs.  I even think they’re pretty tasty.

Playing: We’ve had a few fun playdates with our baby friends this week.  He’s getting more and more interactive.  He’s especially been loving anything that makes noise: tambourine, shaker eggs, rattles.

Medical Milestones: 

• Throwing things (learning about cause and effect) — Check!  He loves throwing toys and then chasing after them.
• Crawling — Check!  He’s getting more coordinated and faster.  Watch out world!  Arthur is on the move!
• Squirming instead of wanting to be held — Check!  He holds his hands up to get picked up but once in my lap, he squirms to get down.  It’s a never ending cycle.
• Answering to his name — Mostly check!  He usually looks over if I call his name, but not every single time.

Schedule: While he was taking two consistent naps a day, now I never know when he’s going to nap.

Out and About:

• Post office and library for errands
• Storytime at the library
• Shoreline walk
• Joann’s for fabric shopping with other moms and babies
• Round Table for mom’s stamp club
