Jack is now 8 months old and an official resident of Brooklyn, NY. We are settling in our apartment more and more each day. Jack loves his own space and explores every nook and cranny by crawling, scooting and pulling himself up on whatever he can. He is eating EVERYTHING, and happy to eat whatever I cook! No longer needing thin purees, soft cooked foods in small pieces are perfect for his gums to chomp on. Zero teeth so far, and not looking forward to when that process begins. Restful night sleeps have been needed and wonderful, we will continue to enjoy them while they last. So far, Jack has explored a neighborhood park, Prospect Park, and Brooklyn Bridge Park. He had a blast playing in the water/ sprinklers playground within BBP, not exactly the kind of basic lawn sprinklers we had growing up. His love of books grows each day, especially if he can chew on or touch them. Some favorite "toys" of the moment are his texture squares (thanks Amy), wooden kitchen spoons, stainless steel bowls and anything that he can bang on. Smiling at everyone is one of his favorite activities and he loves meeting new friends in the building at a casual 4pm play date during the week. (I enjoy having some adult time with the moms and nannies too.) Here are a few photos from the past month:
