Today we are staying in. We don't need to spend any money and don't really have anything to do so we are staying in all day. Except for the balcony we go out there almost every day. Chance likes it out there. He will sit on my lap and look out at everything. I always point out the horses pulling the carages as they go by but today it looked like he actually saw it and followed it down the street with his eyes and turned his head and everything. Also today it looked like he actually saw Rosco. Rosco is alway licking Chances feet but Chance never seems to notice until today. Rosco licked his foot and Chance looked down and saw Rosco, he watched him for a while and when Rosco walked away Chance forgot about him and went on looking around at random things. He has started holding onto things and trying to put them in his mouth as can be seen in the picture of him sitting in his Bumbo chair. He doesn't really reach out for things yet but he will grab things when you hand them to him and of course they instantly go toward his mouth. He puts anything in there, blankets, toys, stuffed animals you name it he tries to put it in his mouth. Today I gave him some banana. He is eating only formula and breastmilk not even any rice cereal yet but he was sitting in his bouncy chair and I was eating a banana so I squished a little between my fingers and sucked it off my finger. He made a icky face and then a little less icky face and then he smiled. I guess that means he liked it. I did that yesterday and today he did the same thing both times. I didn't give him much because I know a banana isn't supposed to be his first food but he doesn't have an upset stomach and he didn't cry so I know he didn't hate it. He has also started playing with the toys on his bouncy chair now. I love that first picture it looks like he is giving me a curious eye. Like he is saying "what are you doing with that camera?" And look at that little button nose. He is sleeping right now and I should be going to the bathroom while I have the opportunity. Bye for now.
