Po'okela 7 Months

My little man is growing so quickly and I am enjoying every minute of it! In this last month you have done so much more and sister has had to learn to let you do things on your own.  She likes to do everything for you, especially explore all your toys or show you how to use them.  Normally you don't mind at all, unless its something you are chewing on and you  let her or me know that you aren't happy about it.  She has woken you up from our night time sleep by throwing a stuffed animal into your crib. She obviously got in trouble for it. When I asked her why she did it, she said you needed to snuggle. Let's hope she doest do that again, since I told her she would get a spanking if she did.  Other than that you two get along. 

  

Above: Sitting with your sister playing with your animals that you like her to pull down on and you laugh when they jiggle back up.

Right: Taking a ride in the double jogging stroller! You just looked around and enjoyed the ride!

Below: You don't like it when you lose sight of me, so I find myself placing you in the room I am working in so you don't scream. Here you are in the kitchen playing and sister could not let you do it by your self.  At one point you two were sword flighting with them.


This month you LOVE food.  You have eaten a number of table food things already that I am sure we never let your sister have when she was this age.  I am sure you will transition to table food much faster than your sister because I let you have it already (no teeth yet, but I still let you have the soft stuff).  Here is as list of foods you have had: bread (texas road house rolls are your favorite), chips (you swiped one off my plate and I didn't know), tortilla soup, french fry, ice cream (vanilla and cookies & cream), bread sticks, sweet potato fries, pancakes, and apples.  You get pretty mad when we are eating and you aren't.  I have introduce all the baby food meats to you and so far you aren't a fan of the ham, but the rest you will eat mixed up in veggies and by themselves. Your favorite meal is breakfast, when you get oatmeal or rice cereal and fruits (occasional pancake).  

                              

I'm still nursing you and you have started to sign milk, but I need to watch for it. This month as been a transition month for your nursing.  You have been sleeping longer and I needed to wake you up from your nap to feed you, so after doing some reading and research I decided that you were problem ready for 3 1/2 to 4 hour feedings. The first day I tried it you when 3 1/2 hours in between nursing (which you get food at these times as well) and now you are going 4 hours, with a cup of juice offered to you late in the afternoon.  With this new schedule we have had to change things up & early evenings has turned into your fussy time, but we will get back into the routine of things and I know it will all work out!


This last month while I was working at the Y, you got to met a couple of new kids. You were always so popular with them. There you learning to play with more toys.  Leggos were your favorite and here is a picture of the kids greeting you first thing in the morning. I'm sure you would have stay in your carrier the whole morning with all their singing and admiring.  
At home you play so much!  Here's a few shots of you at home playing, exploring and having fun!






My smiley boy!! My happy boy!! My sweetie boy!! But best of all you are such a good boy! Happy 7 months Po'okela!!
