Don't y'all feel special. *wink*
JJ turned six months old on Friday, and all y'all know what that means.
Time for another foot pic!
Itsy bitsy bebeh... Six months old....
Wow. And his feet are getting wider too.
So, in the last month, he's gotten really super good at sitting on his own, he's even started to stand using parental fingers as balancing aids. No, I mean it. He will stand up if you give him your fingers to hang onto. He's figured out that he can grip my hand and use it to pat his beany-baby type toys, instead of just patting them himself. It's extremely cute.
One picture I wasn't able to get (due to cameras & water generally not mixing well) occurred a few days ago. It was brutally humid & far too hot in the house, and JJ took a twenty minute nap at what should have been bedtime, popped his eyes open, and REFUSED to go back to sleep. I finally shrugged & said "Okay, let's go take a cool shower." Did the job, but oh, y'all should have seen the look on his face when the water from the shower head was cold.
Utter. Betrayal.
I, of course, laughed as I realized "Oh, that's right! You've never bathed in water that wasn't warm!"
He favored me with a repeat of this fan favorite look.
Except this time it was more like
"No kidding, Mom. Real brilliant deduction there."
I'm going to be ordering a few mesh baby feeders for him in the next week or so... bunkin reached for my cheese this morning. First time he's reached for food, up until now he's been after anything we drink, but that was the first time he's shown interest in food... so it's time to get the tools! I'm thinking avacado, peas, green stuff mostly. Gonna try to hold off on the sweeter stuff, carrots & the like, until later, don't want him getting a sweet tooth before he even has teeth!
It's also time to either change the toys on the swing mobile to something with stretchy legs, or swap out the swing entirely for the bouncer that's sitting in the garage. Last week JJ figured out that he can grab the toys hanging from the mobile, and actually managed to pull one off the mobile entirely. He keeps that up, he's going to break the rotator arms, so it's time to change to something he can't hurt.
He's starting to fight me on naps again. *sigh* Just when I got the two nap thing figured out. Need to lengthen his first wake time, I think, stretch it out a little. Of course, longer wake times mean I will likely have to resign myself to slightly shorter naps. Darn it, I was enjoying two hour blocks to get things done twice a day! LOL
Flip side is that he's much more tolerant of the bright sunlight than he was even a month ago, which means I can take him outside more as long as we stick to the shade.
But not today. It's 85º, heading for mid-90s, the humidity is rising, and the UV index is high enough I'd practically have to bathe us both in sunscreen.
Pass.
