My son has shown a penchant for independence at a very young age. I am writing this post so that I can remember these funny behaviors when my memory ceases to exist at a later time in life.
Four Months: Gave up his pacifier without being coaxed to do so
Four Months: Slept through the night
Six Months: Gave up bottle with pumped Breast Milk. Would only nurse exclusively
14 Months: Refused to be fed. Insisted upon feeding himself, spoon and all…
16 Months: Refused to let anyone hold a book other than himself. He would also be responsible for turning the pages
18 Months: Refused to wear a bib
18 Months: Became the pickiest eater known to the human race
And the independent behavior continues. I am looking forward to seeing how he develops and what his new idiosyncrasies are.
