Well, today I was a good mother. I filled up a small bottle to work with Paul on holding it. I only did that once though. The other time I sat with him, I used the big bottle. Both times though, I opened his hands and pressed them flat against the sides of the bottle. It didn't make a difference which bottle I used, he seems to have his own way of holding it. it's not perfected yet, but he's getting there. So for now I'll just sit with him and assist him. I have to read a book, so I have something to keep me occupied while we work. I also had Paul I help his son when I was at German class tonight. For now, Paul II wraps his hand around to the base of the bottle and holds it from the bottom. It's cute and fairly efficient.

He's also been doing something else lately. He likes to press his forefinger and thumb together on each hand, kind of like he's making a flat OK sign. Then he turns his hand palm up and is fascinated with it. Actually, it reminds me of the stereotype of Italians. I feel like he's getting in my face and saying, "Capice?"

Not much else so far. We went to get his "No-Fee" passport today. I didn't much care for the lady working there. She was rude to me last time and only a little civil today. When she tried to make Paul smile, he just stared at her with a "yeah right" look. What a good boy. :-)
