So far there is so much things he is getting into. He has mastered opening drawers, cabinet doors, closing bedroom doors and can move just about anything with pushing it. He loves to throw things in the trash can. And will throw anything in it. Rylan always comes home and checks the trash can to pull things out Po'o has thrown away. (which this has given us ideas for Christmas gifts). He loves to drive his sisters toy cars with the remote, along with pushing his toy cars making "vroom" nosies. Then he throws things... thankfully nothing heavy yet. Lastly, we have pulled out the potty so he can explore with that. He likes to climb on it when Alohi goes in there to potty. (Just this last week, he pointed to his belly while pooping. So I am hoping he will be a early and fast potty trainer like his sister was.)
He has gotten his first hair cut and this week we will give him another hair cut before we leave for hawaii. I didn't realize how quickly boys hair grows. Thankfully we will be doing his hair cuts ourselves and maybe Rylan will get more hair cuts since we will do them both at the same time. I have enjoyed giving him a mohawk and spiking it with gel.
Po'o loves to eat! He can put away 2 scrambled eggs along with toast and bacon or sausage for breakfast and probably more eggs if I let him. He doesn't eat like this all the time, but for the most part he likes to eat. There are times he shakes his head no to things, but after a while he normally taste it. He still loves blue berries and strawberries, signs banana while trying to say it when he wants that. I will let the pictures of him eating tell the rest.
Yes, he can eat a an ice cream cone by himself. And that is after his lunch.
Chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered strawberries are favorites!
He does use a fork to stab things and his spoon to scoop things, but will always go back to using his hands if the food isn't getting to his mouth fast enough. And this picture was taken before his hair cut.
Below, is the kids eating at the "big" kid table. Po'o threw a fit and wouldn't eat until he got to sit with his sister at her table.
Oh... and he figured out that he really really likes candy. He will look for his Halloween bag when he wants a snack! And doesn't he look cute as a shark!!
As you can see he does a great job standing and is mastering walking. He can walk across the room without any help, but still crawls when he wants to get somewhere quicker. I think he enjoys the falling into someones arms, because he loves to do that. Of course he would want to start doing this right before we get on an airplane, but it will help because I won't have to carry him so much! When Rylan gets there for Christmas I told him that Po'o will be running by then.
He is still a mama's boy, even though he calls me dada. He can say dog, dada, mumumm and mama (only when he wants to). He signs a lot and has done his babbling. Ohh, I forgot he says bird and points to the sky.
We have started working with hand-eye coordination skills with puzzles and sensory things. He likes to color and paint with his hands. He enjoys puzzles and books that let him move things.
It has been so much fun and I know there will be many more things to come! I will enjoy each moment!
I love that he is still my little boy that sucks his thumb, holds onto his moo cow and snuggles after he wakes up!
