When we went for John Michael's well-child check-up last week, our pediatrician told me that we should start him on some finger foods. I probably was not quite ready to do that (even if JM is ready!), but there were little ears in the room, too and they convinced Daddy that he should try Cheerios last night!"John Michael liked the Cheerios!" - Gracie
He is working on the coordination to get that Cheerio out of his fist and into his mouth. When he can get it pinched between his thumb & finger he really likes to crunch it with his front teeth. It was making him smile today at lunchtime! (Yes, Mommy got brave & let him have Cheerios with all three of his meals today).
Next, John Michael had another "first" this afternoon. It was a beautiful day and John Michael got to swing in the bucket swing! Both girls took a turn pushing him. He was more interested in trying to chew on the rope at first, but once Clara pushed him higher (than Mommy was advising), he really enjoyed it.
The last "first" of the day came at dinner time. John Michael got the hang of drinking out of his sippy cup all by himself! He was really thirsty, apparently, too because he kept drinking & drinking.
It's amazing how quickly he is changing these days - I don't remember it being quite this fast with the girls!
Okay, one more first - Gracie was the photographer for this blog post & co-author. Thank you Gracie! She says that's enough & time to post it! (I think all my posts would be briefer if she were in charge - must get that from her Daddy!)

Good job Gracie!
Hooray for JM eating cheerios. How big is he? We were on the verge of going to the ped today, but they said to wait it out until J has fever with his runny nose. Lovely.
Wow! John Michael is growing up so fast! He is even looking so much older than just a couple of days ago.
Gracie did a wonderful job of taking pictures and writing the blog post!
Clara is just so cute pushing John Michael!
Such beautiful little ones! Give them all hugs and kisses from me!
