Mealtimes

Did you know that you cannot levitate Rice Krispies by staring at them and opening your mouth?

The buddy boy is just discovering that. "What? I open my mouth, spoon goes in... open my mouth, n1pple goes in... what do you mean I have to do some work here!!"

He has discovered that if he licks his hands, and then presses them into the crumbled up arrowroot cookie, that the cookie will stick, and he can lick it off. Or else, he can be a hoover, lean down really close to the tray, and try to kind of suck the food up.

We obviously need to work on the pincer grip a little bit.

Even if he gets the food into the mouth, he can't get it far enough back on his tongue anyway, so I clean it all out of the folds in his baby neck after, lol!!

Six months

Uncle Stevie came to visit from out west. Oh, did we mention that we "forgot" to tell Grandma & Grandpa that he was coming? "Hi Mom, I'm here for dinner... brought someone with me, hope you don't mind!!!"

They were a smidge surprised, to say the least.


The toy that Buddy boy is holding is a hand me down from his second cousins, and one of his favourites, and the beautiful sweater that he is wearing was hand knit by my sister-in-law. You can't see the detail on it in the photo, but it is gorgeous.

He Shoots, He Scores!!!

Update

I am currently at the library, with Buddy Boy sound asleep on my chest.

It has been a great 6 months.  I can't belive that I am halfway through my mat leave already!!  I really am dreading going back to work.

We visit the Ontario Early Years centre weekly, for Mom & Baby time, and we go to story time at the library twice a week.  LR is active in Girl Guides twice a week, and I join her once a week.

Still no internet at home, so the photos that have been posted have been ripped off from various family members facebook sites (Thanks Guys!!).

3 Months (ish)
