My Sweet Baby Boy
Friday, November 13, 2009
Marin has been in such a cuddly mood here lately. For the past couple days it has been a hug and kiss fest. He will pretty much give me a kiss any time I ask him and then of course he gives me kisses whenever he feels like it too. You can tell when he wants to give you a kiss because he grabs your head in both hands and then pulls you toward him and then gives you the biggest kiss on the cheek. Then if you make the "kiss sound" yourself and say, "Oh that was such a good kiss" he just smiles the biggest smile that lights up his whole face. He's so adorable. Of course his mamma thinks so! Speaking of mamma, he still won't say it! We try to get him to say it and he just grins at us like, "Uh huh, yeah right." Much to dada's delight he continues to say dada at least a million times a day. :)
The little guy is currently napping. He's going through a big growth spurt right now. We had a doctor's visit just a couple weeks ago and since then he's already gained over a pound. A lot of his pjs don't fit anymore and his onesie collection is quickly being transferred over to the outgrown box as well. Someone is gonna be happy come yard sale time because we have a lot of stuff to sell already! We just filled one plastic tote box and have almost filled a second! That is just in the last couple weeks! My mom had brought a pair of pajamas for Marin when she was here last month and had tried them on him and declared them too big. Well, I hate to break it to Mimi, but that pair of pjs doesn't even button! Well, they button, but when you pick him up the buttons pop open. ha.ha. He's getting sooo big! I think his extra pound has come in the form of height though because he's looking sooo skinny to me these days. Well, everything but his little (should I say big) legs! They are some hams, let me tell ya!
Well, I was planning on running errands this afternoon, but if Marin wants to sleep, who am I to stand in the way? I had put him in his high chair to pour some bottles and he was in there less than 10 minutes playing with a toy and fell asleep in his chair! Oh well, so much for the bananas I had planned on feeding him while he was in there! It was a few minutes before he was supposed to be eating, so I had decided to do the bottles first. He had other plans and decided a nap sounded more fun. I can't say that I blame him!
Last night, I looked up all of the stage 2 foods that Earth's Best sells. We want to make sure we give him a chance to try all of them. I must say that the variety is a HUGE step up from stage 1 foods! I think pretty much all baby food brands only have carrots, sweet potoatoes, squash, peas, apples, bananas, and pears in their stage 1 line up. Marin has a couple days of banana left. Then he'll go to apples and pears. Then, we move up to stage 2! We go at least 4 or 5 days in between each newly introduced food, just to make sure he tolerates it well. So it takes a while to introduce all the foods. He seems to like sweet potatoes best so far, even better than bananas which he isn't as crazy about as I first thought. He is an orange vegetable boy so far (sweet potatoes & carrots).
We have a ton more pictures to add to his blog which we will try to do this weekend. Tonight is going to be busy as we have a ton of errands to run. You know its just killing me that we have to go to both Target and Wal-Mart. ha.ha. :)
