27 Weeks

Honestly, not much to say this week. He's still right on the verge of crawling but not there yet. However he can scoot anywhere he wants to go fairly quickly. He's eating solids and expanding his tastes. He LOVES avacado. Still not sitting. Not sure if he knows his name or not. I think the problem is Josh had started calling him Tubby as a nickname all the time because he loves to eat so much and for a while there he was short and a bit chubby and constantly growing. He's evened out more now but the nickname stuck so if you say Tubby he recognizes that but not as much Justace. So we are trying to stop callin him that and use his name more often. He's really good now at reaching for whatever toys he wants. I can put him down on the floor with a bunch of toys and things and he will roll and scoot his way to what he wants to play with and grab it and of course stick it in his mouth. My mom had given us a bunch of toys a while back that he couldn't play with yet but I just took them all out and he loves them. He still doesn't fully understand how they work but he likes hitting them to make them make noise and stuff. I've started making his bath time longer now. It doesn't take more than a couple minutes to wash him off or even rinse his hair but once that's done I let him stay in for a while and play in the water and with his bath toys. He seems to really like that. I feed him solids 2-3 times a day right now if I can, if we are home during the day. However he's recently decided to reach for the spoon and bowl and food and so makes a huge mess during each feeding. While this is hilarious to watch it's not as fun when feeding time is over and he needs to be cleaned up. I'm debating whether maybe I should just feed him once a day, right before his bath time, so I can just take his dirty self and stick him in the bath. He loves eating but it's just such a huge mess. And besides bottles are still where he gets the majority of his nutrition from.

He still doesn't have any teeth but he's drooling a ton and the doctor said he thought he might have felt one on the top of his gums during his appointment but he wasn't sure. I'm hoping maybe once he gets his first teeth and begins to crawl the fussiness will get better.
