Baby Gus

Just shy of 8 months old, Gus has done a lot in the last few weeks. In a two week period, Gus got three teeth. The first one was  a bear! He was fussy fussy! The second one we didn't even know it was coming and POOF....there it was! The third one was not as bad as the first, but not as easy as the second. It's amazing how the look of a baby changes so much when there are teeth in that sweet little grin! For now, the teething has slowed down, but I know it will happen again before we know it! Since he has all these teeth now, we've let him start eating regular table food now too. He's tried green beans, carrots, corn, crackers, cheese, watermelon, and bananas to name a few. He has never been much for eating the baby food (you would never know it by looking at him), but he seems to really enjoy eating table food! It's so exciting watching him try new things. We have also started working with a sippy cup too. It's more of playing with it for now, but I know in due time, he will learn how it works!

The other big milestone is that Gus is sitting up all by himself! It's amazing how fast it seems that it happened. Last weekend, we had pictures made of him and I was so worried about getting any pictures of him sitting up because he was so wobbly! But in just 5 short days, he is a pro! Its been fun to watch him sit on the floor and interact with Charlie too!

One more little side note...Gus and I do alot of driving/riding back and forth with Charlie to school. Now that Gus is a little older, the two of them interact more in the car. They smile back and forth, make noises at each other and check out the other cars on the road. Usually when we drop Charlie off in the morning, Gus falls asleep on the way home and doesn't even notice that Charlie isn't in the car. But in the afternoon, on our way back to pick Charlie up, Gus is constantly looking for Charlie. He can't figure out why the carseat is empty. He looks over there and doesn't see anything and then looks out the window for a little while....then turns back again to see if Charlie has showed up! It's the cutest thing! Gus absolutely adores Charlie! I love these boys!
