I am very late getting these posted, I apologize. We had Memorial Day, my mom's birthday and a visit from some great friends that have kept me from posting.
Our "little dude" (as we all seem to call him) is growing up so quickly. He certainly keeps us on our toes. He is all boy and loving life. It is amazing to me how much he is like Hannah, but yet how different they are too. Needless to say, our house never stops moving, and is never quiet (two things they have in common).
- seems to be gaining some weight, although haven't had an official weigh-in
- finally wears 9 month clothing, but still fits into 6 month pretty well (and a few 3-6 month outfits)
- eats anything you put in front of him and has to be cut off from food as he would just continue to keep stuffing himself: bananas still rank as a favorite as well as sweet potatoes and watermelon
- often eats more than his sister at any given meal
- has two teeth on top and two on bottom (and more to come sooner than later, lots of swollen bulges)
- is a very fast crawler and only resorts to his army scoot when he is trying to get into tight spots (like behind the toilet)
- loves to dig in the dirt (the potted plant), wash windows and blinds (with drool), strip paint (with his teeth), move furniture, and wash his hands (in the toilet). He is despretly trying to figure out how to get out of doors and up the stairs (Heaven help us when he does)
- LOVES to push cars or trains around and will use anything as a car if he doesn't have one available. I have even heard him making "car" noises.
- chases balls all over the house
- adores his big sister
- says "mama" and it means me, and "mar" for more
- loves his mommy :)
- loves to point at things
- babbles all the time, especially in his car seat
- sleeps much, much better (yay!)
- loves to be outside, especially in the wagon or on the swing
- is very ticklish
- is an extremely easy going, happy kid (except when he isn't...there is quite the extreme, but thankfully it doesn't happen often)
