He has his two bottom teeth and is so stinkin' cute when he gives us his big open-mouthed grin. He reminds me of the cutest Jack-O-Lantern that you have ever seen. He sits like a champ but sometimes he squishes his fat little belly causing him to spit-up. Gag! He's never been a spitter so I'm waiting for him to get mobile and get leaner. He can get on all fours and rock back and forth. He has been doing this since before Christmas and I keep thinking that any day he will take off crawling. But, nope. He can't keep his torso up on just one arm. LOL! Typical fat kid. So he rests himself on his chest and pushes with his little legs. Oh, he can get wherever he wants to go but it looks funny with his little heiney in the air and pushing with his feet.
He has also increased his babbling quite a bit. He says: "mamamamamamamma" when he is looking for me or when he sees me. And he says it with a precious little grin. It warms my heart every time! He has also discovered Peek-A-Boo and loves to play it around a corner or wall. He will lean over and look for whoever is playing with him and giggle when you jump out and yell "Boo!" Oh, and our little guy is turning out to be quite the Cassanova! He is just a big ole flirt!
Mr. Man takes all of his formula from a sippy-cup now except for the first bottle in the morning and the last bottle before bed. We switched to the sippy-cup because it has handles that he can hold. He refuses to hold his bottle, even though he is perfectly capable, but he will hold his cup so I thought it was a perfect time to make the transition.
He eats loads of baby food and we have started some table foods. Potatoes and carrots are his favorites. We have had pot roast several times this winter and he just can't get enough. He even like the meat! The other night I gave him some turnips that we were having with our dinner and you would have thought that they were candy! LOL! But, since he is now eating (or at least tasting) what we eat I have to be careful how I spice/season things. We have our pediatrician's blessing on all of this, by the way.
He goes to the babysitter a few times a month where he is absolutely spoiled. Koko is really good to him and I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm not sure that his feet actually touch the ground when he is visiting her but that's ok. She loves him almost as much as I do and treats him well.
We pray that this update finds you and yours truly blessed. We remain thankful for all that God has given us and all that we know he will provide.
