Over the last few weeks there have been so many changes and new developments with monkey that I have no idea where to even start. He continues to surprise us on a daily basis. He is definitely at the beginning of the big transformation... good-bye baby, hello little boy. Even his baby appearance is fading. Each time I look at him I see a beautiful little toddler emerging- I know, I know, cheesy, but so true. I’m sure it’s the combination of now having 4 teeth, partially standing on his own, eating “real” food, and his ability to shout out tons of new things. Dada is still constant along with the new Gaga and Yaya. No Mama yet- ugh! Anytime now little guy!!! I’ve sooo been patient. He can stand completely on his own for a good 20 seconds and will stand indefinitely if he’s holding onto something. He still shows little, to no interest in crawling, but he could definitely surprise us. He’s just recently starting creeping— pushing himself around on his belly, so crawling could be just around the corner. I’m going to enjoy every last second of him being stationary because I know firsthand that it’s a whole new world once they’re moving around.
Baby food is almost behind us as he eats 90% real food now... shredded cheese, avocado, macaroni & cheese, mixed veggies, pears, peaches, blueberries, bananas, shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, and the list goes on. He still loves his rice/oatmeal cereal in the morning, so we’ll be sticking with that for awhile.
Along with giving kisses, he has figured out to give high fives which he has a lot of fun with. He absolutely loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and will drop everything he’s doing (including eating) if he hears the “Hot Dog” song. It’s super cute. I can’t wait until he figures out how to start dancing around to it!
We’ve been working on waving to Daddy when he leaves in the mornings and clapping our hands. He likes to bang two toys together, so if we could just ditch the toys and do the same motion, he’d have it down pat! Kevin and I are still planning on going out this weekend for a little photo shoot so I’ll be posting more pictures soon. In the meantime check out the ones I took around the house the other morning. My little baby is growing up...
A BIG smooch for Mommy!! :)
Kisses for Daddy... (more like Jaiden slapping Daddy in the face)
He is such a little man, I love it! And yes, enjoy every minute of him still being stationary :)
