J's still gone this week for work, so it's just Arthur and I. After our car adventure this past weekend, we are hopefully back to normal.

Likes: Anything to chew on, mom cuddles (bit clingy this week), his blankets

Dislikes: Playing by himself, not eating fast enough

Sleeping: He's been sleeping straight through from 7pm to 6am. This is so amazing! I have no idea what I did to get him there, but I love getting some actual sleep.

Eating: Moving forward with trying new foods. He hasn't met one he doesn't like yet. He's especially loving the vanilla puffs. I even think they're pretty tasty.

Playing: We've had a few fun playdates with our baby friends this week. He's getting more and more interactive. He's especially been loving anything that makes noise: tambourine, shaker eggs, rattles.

Medical Milestones:

Throwing things (learning about cause and effect) -- Check! He loves throwing toys and then chasing after them.
Crawling -- Check! He's getting more coordinated and faster. Watch out world! Arthur is on the move!
Squirming instead of wanting to be held -- Check! He holds his hands up to get picked up but once in my lap, he squirms to get down. It's a never ending cycle.
Answering to his name -- Mostly check! He usually looks over if I call his name, but not every single time.

Schedule: While he was taking two consistent naps a day, now I never know when he's going to nap.
