Thaddeus

Trying to stay awake and play instead of sleep has already begun and TJ is often distracted from nursing, falling asleep and diaper changes with a great desire to go join his big sis and bro in all sorts of playing. He loves to sit at the piano and play a soft melody, stand at the table and bang, crawl over pillows and blankets of the forts, knock over block houses, farms, and trains, roll over and race for the edge of the bed or couch, grab at food, faces, and hair to see what they might feel like.

Little Thad thinks that he is big stuff. Having mastered the army crawl and sitting up, he has moved on to constant practice of climbing and pulling up on things. He is often trying to climb on the printer or up the step stools. This week he also decided that he likes to stand up, so he is pulling himself up on any and everything that he can reach. Thaddeus has let go several times and then found himself immediately crashing to the floor. He has also transferred successfully from the couch to the coffee table and is cruising around the table or exersaucer or rocking chair without too much trouble.

Thaddeus John is 17 pounds and 26.6 inches long. He is exceptionally strong and sturdy for his age and moves at a good pace with his army crawl. He loves to put things in his mouth, but has a very strong tongue-thrust reflex still. TJ will eat chew up and moisten anything he can, and shows a strong preference for paper, leaves, and crayons. He is taking two naps a day now and sleeps from 8:30ish to 7:45ish with 3-5 interruptions in there. He has a quick and effective raking grasp and likes to try to grab ahold of anything that comes across his path. Thad's favorite toys are currently champignon, blocks, Eila's headbands, Josiah's trains, piano pedals, plugs and outlets, and the broom.
