*Landon! He just loves watching him and stays entertained.
*Food! This kid will eat anything I give him. Yay! I was introduced to a book called Baby-Led Weaning. It's about letting your baby feed himself. A hands off approach. They decide how much they eat, what they eat and they feed themselves. NO PUREES! I hate spoon feeding so this was the best thing ever! They eventually wean themselves from breast or bottle. I highly recommend this book. It helped me get over my fear of him choking, explaining why they are just as likely to choke on pureed food as they are solids. There is also a cookbook with baby friendly recipes that the whole family will still like, they are made with lower salt and sugar levels. The cookbook has a summary of the regular book at the beginning so if you like cookbooks then I'd just get it instead of the regular book.
When he want more food, or something that I'm eating, he grunt/growls at me to give it to him. So funny!
*Mommy! He is a Mommy's boy all the way :) I just love coming into the room and having him speed crawl towards me or the look on his face when he sees me.
*His blankey! He will nose dive his blanket if it's on the floor. His little cheeks are always red from him rubbing them on the blankets.
*The bath! He will just relax and lounge out.
*Neck/back/leg/belly tickles! He will stop what he's doing and go into a trance if I tickle his neck. It can keep him distracted for a good while.
*The vacuum! He love's following the vacuum around. If he hears it he must go find it.
He is a speed crawler. He learned quickly and he gets around everywhere. He's now trying to stand up on furniture and climb stairs. He was so mad last night when he couldn't climb the steps :(
His sleeping habits are driving me crazy. He only sleeps 5-6 hours then wakes up to eat (I know that's considered sleeping through the night to doctors but I don't like it) Lately he's been staying up screaming for an hour or more before he goes back to sleep. It's been really frustrating. We went through this with Landon where we were holding him for 1-2 hours every night and I just don't want to do that again so we let him scream and check on him every so often. He will randomly sleep 10-12 hours but not very often.
He is a chunk! He's already wearing 12-18 month clothes.
His hair is finally coming back and I just love his super thick dark eyelashes. I'm so jealous!
Love this baby! I'm so grateful he's mine :)
Yay! I'm so glad you are loving BLW! Now I want the cook book.
