not one but two. He is such a trooper. He has not fussed, cried or anything while teething. We just noticed one day that he had teeth. The past week & a half has been big for Pookie. Tues the 26th he turned 6 months old! The week before that he started sitting unsupported and eating baby food.
This week we have seen a new side of his personality. It seems that overnight our chill, observer of a baby has become very busy!! He wants everything and gets frustrated when he can not reach it or drops whatever he is holding. He does not sit contently in my lap anymore. He stands or leans to grab what he sees. Yesterday he managed to get himself out of his Bumpo (or is it Bumbo?) chair. Thankfully I had it on the floor. He is even starting to scoot as he his eager to get what he wants quickly. Since eating solids, he just cannot seem to get enough of it and becomes very vocal when we do not give it to him fast enough. The first few time we gave him food he could not decide if he wants his thumb or the food (check out the video below). He is a quick learner though and now opens wide, anticipating the yummy, pureed food. He has his 6 month check-up tomorrow. I will update with stats then.
Pookie also has little interest in mom or dad. At least little compared to the bright sunshine that Noah brings. He is madly in love with his big brother. Pookie's face just lights up when Noah is around. He giggles at the silly thing he does. There is something about little kids that babies just love. Mommy and daddy get big smiles when we talk slowly to him and say things like, "ma ma", "da da", and his name. He stares at our lips and tries to figure it out...how to speak. He loves it!
Look mommy, I can sit.
Give it to me!!!
