Crawling and Bottle Feeding

I posted a week or so ago that you had crawled a tad and that you would be close to scooting around the house very soon. Well that time has come! You are moving anywhere you are determined to get to. Before it seemed you had to think about it, now it appears to be second nature. Although you are still of catch-able speed and you haven't started crawling on the hardwood floor yet. I'm sure that isn't far to go though! The other night we had some cords out for charging laptops and you decided they looked fun to play with so you crawled over to one of them. Dad proceeded to pick it up and put it away. At which point you crawled to the next cable. Dad picked that one up and put it away. Then he moved you over a ways from the last cable. Before he knew it you had turned around and made it back to the last cable. By this time I was laughing with amusement and your Dad finally joined it. He put the last cable away. Lesson learned, no more cables on the ground. As for bottle feeding...this has become a whole new challenge. About a week and half ago you decided you no longer wanted to take your bottle. You fight whoever it is that tries to give it to you. The reason being is you have figured out that you can hold out until it is time for me to feed you. Right now I am trying to lower the amount of time I nurse you so I have you on two bottles a day. Instead of actually using two bottles a day, you have started just cutting those feedings out of your schedule. It is quite frustrating and also endearing at the same time when you are tugging frantically at my shirt and then getting upset when you can't have it. Fortunately if we wait long enough, we have found that we can prevail. It is hard though and frequently you will only take a few ounces at a time - just enough to tide you over. I have realized that we have one stubborn little boy on our hands. I find it very amusing now, I'm sure as you get older I may not find your stubbornness quite as cute. But for now I can't help but smile and think to myself how much you are like your mom and dad! I love you sweet boy.
