So recently Beany has been very curious with what objects can do. So one day while I was cooking in the kitchen I gave him a few tupperware containers to play with. I then showed him how you can put things into the tupperware container and then take them out again. Oh how this rocked his little world. He spent the next hour or so placing things into the tupperware and then slinging it out onto the floor. He loves playing with tupperware now and even knows which cabinet to get his new toys out of.
Today the bean was so sweet. After waking from his nap, I went into his room and picked him up from his crib. He immediately laid his head on my shoulder. I looked at his face from over my shoulder in the mirror behind us and he had the biggest grin on his face as if to say “Awww, mama is here…I love her so much”.
Since the pnut was still napping we decided to go hang out in my room for a little while. There he continue to snuggle and cuddle with me. Truly snuggle time with your children has got to be the best thing in the world. Makes all those horrible, whining days a little more worth it. Don’t you think?
Well I finally got a picture of Beany’s pearly white teeth. Isn’t he cute. Today, I gave him a handful of cheerios to eat. He gobbled them all up. I can’t believe he is already 8 months old. Sheesh time flies.
I can barely keep an eye on him. He is pulling up to standing, crawling faster than lightning, and putting everything he can put his hands on in his mouth. His favorite thing to try to eat are leaves.
He loves his brother more than anything. If pnut is in the room forget about getting beany’s attention. All eyes are always on the pnut and what is big brother doing.
Bean has cut his bottom two teeth. He has been chewing and drooling on everything he can get his chubby little hands on. Then the other night he pulled up to standing on the coffee table. Now he pulls up on anything and everything resulting in a lot of bumped heads. Wow he is growing up so fast. I miss my tiny little baby that did nothing and acted more like a blob than a baby. Now the bean is into everything! Don’t turn away for more than two seconds because he will probably shove something into his mouth that wasn’t supposed to be eaten. Leaves are his favorite food right now. Click here to see a photo.
Here is the video that I shot tonight at supper time when I decided to see if bean was ready for baby food yet. We tried this a month ago and he wasn’t quite ready. I bought a couple of jars of food at the grocery store this week just to see if he was up to the challenge. We are starting on bananas. He loved them. He was attacking the spoon with each bite. He was even trying to help my hand by grabbing at the spoon and shoving it towards his face. HA HA.
So the other day me, the kids, and our guests were all sitting in the office socializing. The bean was chilling in our friends lap [E.] when he all of a sudden got upset. In the middle of his upset state he screams “MOMMA!” just as plain as day. We all looked at each other and said “Did you just hear that?” I was so proud that my little four month old just shouted for his Momma.
The bean absolutely loves his tummy time. He will lay on his stomach doing his little baby push ups while I either fold clothes, or while the pnut is watching television or playing. He loves watching big brother. He usually just lays on his tummy and laughs as life passes him by. For all those who have been wondering the bean has mastered the roll over. Both from front to back and back to front. Here is a video I think I took a month ago but can’t really remember.
So the bean skipped his 1 month doctor visit so I decided to schedule him one sometime last week. The nearest available appointment was for last Tuesday.
Here are his stats…
age…. 2 months 4 weeks
Weight….13 lbs. 13 oz. [can you say, BIG baby!]
height….25 inches long [wow!]
The doctor was so impressed with his weight gain that he is already on cereal! Sheesh, he isn’t even 3 months old and already beginning solids. Typically a child doesn’t start solids until at least 4 months. The doctor put him on them early because he has been killin’ an 8 oz. bottle every 4 hours except for the time he sleeps at night which is from midnight till 8-10 in th morning.
Poor little guy. He had to have 3 shots in his tiny little legs and had to drink some nasty stuff too. He was asleep when she began poking him with the needles. Talk about a rude awakening. He was so mad!!!
He’s been sleeping most of the day. I don’t blame him it was a traumatic experience.
Since the bean is a model baby for Mutha Crafter’s awesome onesies, I had to share this comment that Juliet [the shop owner] emailed to me today that she received from one of her customers…
