Hey Y'all
Hope you are all enjoying the freezing cold weather. It suits us fine to stay in the warmth of our house when it is this cold out. Unfortunately that is not always possible when you need groceries..finishing Christmas odds and ends and are trying to get things together here and there for our soon 2 year old birthday party.
Mr.O is 5 months old! Where has the time gone???? Hard to believe in another month I will have a little wee man who is already have a year old and a two year old daughter. Starts to make you feel old..either that or younger because really you get to experience the daily miracles and wonders through their eyes.
O is trying to get going...zoom zoom...He really wants to crawl and sit up badly. He is trying to sit up while in his bouncy chair or swing. We have started to put him in the jumperoo and exercauser which he LOVES! It is so much fun to watch him bounce the day away...he gets such momentum and smiles across his face. He is also trying to put his bum in the air and carpet swims in his floor toy when placed on his stomach for tummy time.
He sings and talks all the time...especially to his sister. The belly laughs and squeals are the most enjoyable sounds in this house...much better than the crying and tantrums any day hands down. Balances things out more or less. O likes to mimick facial movements and sounds when we repeat them back at them. He is quite the go getter!
He is still eating the same amount but we are about to soon change that this week to come when my husband is on holidays. Not because I can not do it without him..but he was not home the first time with Miss E and it is nice that he will be on vacation and have the opportunity to have a front row seat. If you have never witnessed a baby trying cereal for the first time..it is quite a experience not to miss out on. The facial expressions..trying to figure out how to move their tongue and where to put it..trying not to choke..remembering to swallow. Some babies..inhale it..others push most of it out..all trial and error and one big game of life!
My handsome little guy is growing so fast..changing his looks every day. He is slowly getting better at napping here and there. Starting to self soothe, talk to sleep. Loves to watch and talk to his sister. They love to kiss and hug each other back and forth. If you come to visit..besides me losing hair...hold on to yours..O pulls it and does not let go..it is no wonder I am losing all of mine. He is not done it to E yet..but it is coming shortly. Last night he had his whole fist in my husbands mouth and a grip on his lip and thought it was funny.
He is definitely not teething at all (insert sarcasm here). Besides the regular drooling festivities..O has decided his hands are the most delicious thing in †he world apart from breast milk. We are constantly stopping himself from shoving his hands down the back of his throat. Good thing Santa is definitely bringing him a teether..Top of O's christmas wishlist. Object to replace hands for chewing on.
Music and Books are huge in this household and we thrive on it. E has been reading to O recently..and loves to watch her and the books. There may be a lot of gibber gabber..but he understands her somehow.."sibling baby code". He loves to sing songs with hand movements and play peek.
I would write more..but I am being summoned through monitors in my room. Not sure what else to update on..will post some pictures soon..Miss E is turning 2 in 9 days after all and there are celebrations/parties to be had..plus Christmas. Love to all
