WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Yeah!!! Wow is the word that comes to mind when I think about how long it has been since I've updated this blog. Too busy, lazy, procrastinating, no thoughts?? no excuses!
Lots to update on in the last couples of months. Little Omie is not so little anymore; He will be 8 months on July 5th so picture updates coming soon! He's still doing all the things mentioned in the 5 month blog - on top of that, he's been eating solids for good couple of months, sits up on his own, can bottle feed himself, is almost onto finger foods and is a HANDFUL now.
He still wants to put everything in his mouth, but more than that, he wants to grab everything in sight. There's nothing that I have around me that he does not want. This was cute at first, but now not so much ;) It is getting harder and harder to have a conversation over the phone because he wants to talk on the phone too and press all the buttons while at it; toys are not as much fun as humans, or mommy's hair anymore.
Mommy is be all, end all now. I'm not sure if this is beginning of the 'clingy' IE 'separation anxiety' phase or what, but we see it a bit more now than we did in the past. He's thankfully still OK with strangers and goes to everyone; but how long will that last, we don't know! Naps and night times are still wonderful for the most part. Omie takes 2 long and 1 short nap during the day and sleeps from 9 to 6/7 at night with no hassles for the most part.(not to say there are no bad nights).
We've also started lots of activities and we're meeting lots of new people since summer started. Mondays are usually "Mommy & Omie" days, Tuesdays we have swimming lessons, Wednesdays we go to Gymboree and Thursdays we have our library (Summer babies, baby love) classes. Daddy's always off on Fridays so Fridays are "Daddy & Omie" days where mommy can sneak in a break (hopefully) :)
More than anything, this is a really fun age. He understands a lot more, wants to do a lot more and he just wants to eat up the whole world in one giant bite. We definitely see a strong personality developing in this little guy - as of now, he's got mommy's good looks and daddy's wonderful nature :) best of BOTH worlds ;)
