First fall (aka Thank God it wasn’t me!)
the hubby dropped the turkey today. Twice! the first time, he rolled off the bed and hubby managed to catch him before he hit the floor. the second time, hubby wasn’t as fast. fortunately, he only fell off an ottoman and onto carpeted floor. I’m glad we weren’t home on our tile floor. and, more importantly, I’m glad I didn’t do it!
Hi ho cheerio
We started the turkey on finger foods this weekend while visiting my sissy. Her dogs loved it since his fingers never got the food to his mouth. We ended up hand feeding him a few while peas one night and cheerios the next. He didn’t know what to think of it at first but it seemed like he decided he was in favor of it. He picks the cheerio up with his right hand fingers but then he puts his sleeping fingers in his mouth (left hand) before he gets the right hand up there. He’s blocking himself. Considering everything else that he picks up and immediately puts in his mouth, I thought this would be a no-brainer for him but I guess it’s a more complex skill than I realized. It’s going to be fun working on it at least 🙂
i win!
the boy started making real talking noises this week. before we left home thursday, he started saying na-na-na. today, on three separate occasions, he has said ma-ma. now i just need to catch it on video so i can prove it!

blow and suck
the turkey is all about the raspberries lately. he blows them constantly, which is stinkin adorable, but we’ve been having a heck of a time breaking him from blowing with food in his mouth. i think we’re finally starting to win that battle and i’m wearing a lot less of his food recently. the last few days, he’s started raspberrying while nursing. and then he’ll squirm and flip around to raspberry my arm. and then, yesterday, he decided to try out the opposite technique. i have a line of hickeys all the way up my inner arm from my wrist to my elbow. he’s such a silly goat.
