Last full week of March

Well it was the last week of March as you know and MLS started up on Saturday, so of course Brad had to watch some games. He decided to subscribe to MLS Live because it is only $20 for the whole season. I was a little annoyed since he spends most of his time at work, soccer practice, or doing homework but he insists that it will be bonding time for him and Donovan...He lasted about 5 minutes before he started to squirm. Bradley and his soccer...oy.They do have a lot of fun together though, Donovan loves when Daddy comes home for lunch or on a break. He usually gets sad when he leaves again. Brad plays the fun games with him, he really likes to get thrown around and I just can't do it the way Brad does.
As you can see, he can beat up on Bradley. At least one of us can keep him in line!Donovan is starting to have a little more fun at bath time because he can sit up and swim like his cousin Mason. I used to get so nervous when he would lean forward too far, but now I know he can handle himself. We still watch him pretty closely in the tub because he still tries to stand up, if I do leave the room it is not for very long.
We tried him on some table foods this weekend. He did pretty well. I was nervous that he would choke on bread, but he didn't even gag. He enjoyed every minute of it. He liked bananas too. He even ate some of Mason's Marshmallow Matey's at church. It was interesting because just the other day I had tried him on a little banana and he gagged on it, so I was a little apprehensive and nervous about him choking, but Brad gave him the bread and he went to town!
We had a nice day Friday, so Donovan and I went over to the soccer field. It seemed like a longer walk than I had anticipated, but it was nice to get out of the apartment.
Donovan was in heaven because they had just aerated the field so he had lots of little "turds" to play with. Don't worry, I paid pretty close attention so he didn't get any in his mouth.
At least he is small compared to a soccer goal!

Oh my, he loves to be naked. When we get him out of the tub, he automatically flips his little body and crawls away. He is so smart, he has figured out how to sit up from the crawling position, he is working pretty hard on standing from the crawling position, but has no luck unless he has something to pull himself up on.I need to rearrange his room now that he can reach all of these things.
He is pulling himself up on pretty much everything in the apartment. Even if it is too short to stand up all the way, he will put his little tush in the air. Of course he has had multiple falls, but nothing serious, he is learning how to control his limbs pretty well and usually catches himself to soften the landing.

Here is Donovan crawling, he has figured out how to crawl for real, but still slithers when he wants to go fast. He is learning and figuring out so many things! I am going to have to start watching him a little more carefully!!!
