intelligence milestone

EERIC SAID HIS FIRST ACTUAL WORD!

he asked me for his 'juice' 

and it sounded exactly like 'juice' 

at first it sounded like 'dugasshh' 

but he's still getting better everyday

I'm so proud of my baby :)

emotional and social milestone

Little eeric and his daddy zack were caught reading a book together

zack was reading while eeric was trying to make the same noises as the animals

eeric makes his daddy read that book so much that he now knows what each animal sounds like

soon he'll be able to read on his own! :)

Physical milestone

Little baby eeric just started standing on his own! :D
It went from Zack and I having to hold him up but now it's all by himself! :)
Let's hope that walking comes soon! (fingers crossed)

interview questions from 'babies 'r' you'

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Why did you want this child?
     I wanted eeric because I felt like I was ready for all the responsibilities of being a mother. I wanted a cuddley bundle of joy to keep me company and love for the rest of my life.
What do you look forward to?
     I look forward to the fun filled times and also hard work that comes with it.
What are you fearing?
     I fear that the eeric will grow up feeling like I did when I grew up. Lonely, afraid and lost because I want him to know that he could come to me for anything and that his mommy and daddy love him.
What are your hopes and dreams for him?
     My hopes are that eeric grows up athletic like his mom and dad, and i hope that everyone will show him respect as he meets knew people.
What kind of parent do you want to be?
     I want to be a parent who eeric would feel comfortable coming up and talking to me about anything. I want him to have his freedom but know that his parents are always there when he does something wrong or needs help. I want to be everything my parents were not. (Which was never in my life and always fighting with each other).

Breast of Bottle?

Breast or Bottle?
  I choose to breast feed my child for the first few months of eeric's life or until he starts to get teeth.
  My reasoning for this is:
     1. It creates a closer bond between the mother and child. When the child is being breast   fed, they have a closer bond to the mother.
     2. It decreases a chance for infections. Studies show that babies how are feed from a bottle after birth have a higher infection rate than babies who breastfeed.
     3. Breastfeeding is also free unlike formula.
     4. There are also chemicals in formula that are not in breast milk that I don't understand what they mean, but in breast milk, it's all natural so I believe that it's healthier.
