Sullivan "Becoming a Big Kid" Sandholm

Sullivan has been plugging right along with his whole "growing up" process this past month, and he can now add "eating solids" and "sitting up by myself" to his list of things he can do. Here's a photo of him enjoying one of his favorite foods, the green bean. He also enjoys sweet potatoes, carrots and peas. He doesn't like peaches. Pears and prunes are sort of middle of the road -- he'll eat them, but doesn't devour them.

You may also notice that his hair has gotten curlier and crazier, and he is also one happy little guy. He is a favorite among the daycare ladies (he is almost through his first month at the YMCA daycare in Bellevue, just two blocks from my office) as he doesn't cry much, is a chronic smiler and apparently sits around with another little boy named Charlie and just talks and laughs. Social little bugger.

Sully is also really into his Jumperoo (thanks to Uncle C.J. and Uncle Cole for that gift when he was born!), and we're going to get a video taken of him jumping in that thing to share with you guys. But for now, you can take our word for it that he is HILARIOUS to watch, and just goes nuts jumping to the point where he can make you motion sick watching him. He also managed to scare a little boy at daycare with his agressive jumping. Love it.

We'll work on getting some more pictures uploaded for you all who are interested; things have just been busy as of late, or we've just been too tired to do anything other than play with Sully, work, do laundry and watch TV every now and again. Oh, and Gabe has started another class, so he's also busy doing homework. And this is our life. Woo. :)
