Life's good

“Ma ma ma” and “Da da da”

Persistence by dad pays off! He’ll say both now, but is it really directed at us? Who knows? Who cares!!!

He’s moved past the “pppttthhhhhh” when eating and now after each bite gives off a loud “mmmmmmmmmmm” with each bite. Pretty cute.

Still not crawling, but he’ll roll over to you if you are standing and try to pull himself up on your legs. He also just started to move his legs to “walk” while you’re holding his fingers.

Eight months already…

Flu

Not a fun couple of days at casa de Flenar... Adam was pretty sick Wednesday and yesterday. Stomach flu is terrible when you have no idea what to do for the little guy. We went to the doctor yesterday and found out in addition to the stomach flu he has a double ear infection. He hasn’t been sleeping the greatest with all this going on, but on the bright side for Jenny and me, he has turned into a big time snuggler. Fever is gone today, but he’s not yet back to himself. Hoping for a restful, quiet weekend for all of us!

"Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma"

Despite my valant efforts with the "da da das" Adam is all over the "ma mas"

"Adam where is your da da?" A glance in my direction and "ma ma ma ma"

Bathtime!

When daddy feeds me...

(Mommy's a lot funner...)

Spitter

Sometime last week Adam decided that he was going to start spitting his food out. Doesn’t matter fruits or veggies, he’ll open his yap, close it on the spoon, and then PPPPTTTTTHHHHHTTTTHHHHH – out it comes.

He hasn’t done it all of the time, and if we tell him “NO” he’ll stop for a minute and just when you think all is well – PPPPTTTTHHHTTTHHHH… his arms, clothes, the highchair, Jenny or I, and the floor are splatter painted… and then the smile.

Even more entertaining is when he sticks his hand in his mouth while feeding. Nothing cuter than a 7 month old smiling back at you with carrots for hair gel and applesauce in his eyebrows. We have some pics of what happens when dad feeds him that I will post later.
