I think we have a real-life Doogie Howser on our hands! I know, I know, every parent thinks their kid is a genius and ahead of the curve... but SERIOUSLY Cruz is a smarty-pants! He is nine weeks old and can already hold his head up. He's been doing this for quite some time now. His doctor was very impressed and said we better keep him off the couch because he will be rolling over very soon! When we hold him up he plants his feet on the ground and stands on his own! His balance isn't quite there yet, so we hang on...but he can hold his own weight! Which is saying a lot because he is ChUnKy! He has been sleeping through the night since he was seven weeks old. This might be more luck than genius-ness, but either way, Yay me! It's scary. ...but, it gets better. Are you ready for this??? I taught him how to stick out his tongue! Yes. On command. I stick my tongue out and sing "La la la la..." and then he sticks out his tongue and wiggles it around trying to make the same noise. Gen-I-us! I called Tyler at work to tell him about it and he clearly didn't believe me but was kind and said "Ohh. Haha, cute." When Tyler got home Cruz showed him his new 'trick'. :) Now, when we put Cruz to bed he thinks it's funny to stick his tongue out when we are trying to put his pacifier in. It's so hard not to laugh!
I think Tyler is pretty impressed; he said "well, now he knows how to stick his tongue out to his parents...what do you plan on teaching him next?"
I have two weeks left of maternity leave, so we'll see what I can come up with. ;)
