We're So Proud of Slade!

Slade has done very well with tummy time. I started him at 2 months with 5 minutes once a day and he didn't fuss at all. I soon bumped him up to 7 minutes still once a day and he would fuss at the end which I felt was normal. But you know the Ortegas roll... and that little fussing wasn't going to deter mama from challenging Mr. Slade! Not when he's being such a sport.... He's a week shy of 3 months now and he does tummy time for 10 minutes twice a day quite successfully with little complaining. He's a champ!



Today Slade tried cereal from a spoon for the first time. To my surprise it was a success! He opened his mouth, swallowed... down the hatch without any mess! Ok, so I shouldn't say NO mess a couple of times I missed his mouth... There was no mess on Slade's part though. He's like a baby bird. He loves the stuff! He'll be 3 months on November 17th. Beginners luck? Maybe, we'll see tonight when he has his dinner. Below is a pic of Slade and Gavin with Slade's first big boy toy. Thank you to the Forbes family for the fun Croc Block Wagon! Slade has been in awe as Gavin teaches him how it works. :-)
