Pax 6 months, originally uploaded by lilsoak.
Wow,what a difference a month makes for the little dude. Here is a month ago with his fun time cousin before we made the move to Austin. I never did get a chance to post his 6 month picture until now. I love this picture and especially my niece’s expression.
Here he is, a month later, just outside the Chipotle restaurant. More about the restaurant in a bit. If you take a closer look at the picture you can see that there is one bottom tooth coming through. I have discovered today that another tooth is also poking through the gums.
So what has the Paxter accomplished at 7 months?
- He’s learned to scream. It’s a new scream. It’s not very nice sounding to the ears and it’s so difficult to get him to feed when he starts.
- He also takes forever and a day to fall asleep because he realizes that turning over and doing push ups is more fun. He love to bang anything onto a surface that makes some kind of noise.
- He’s not very environmentally friendly as he loves plastic bags. Flinging them around and listening to the sound scrunch scrunch scrunch in his chubby fingers makes him a happy bunny.
- He’s learning to lean forward to reach for objects and doesn’t freak out if he pitches forward.
- He’s getting used to his new digs,
- He’s learning to recognize the signs for “more”, “all done” and “nai nai”
- He has a new laugh
- He has a mullet
- He loves sucking on any kind of cords. Especially my computer cords. Luckily it’s not plugged in.
He’s pretty chill about the hot weather here in Austin. He doesn’t seem to be super sensitive to the heat and then going into air conditioning. I think the only thing that bothers him is the hot buckles in the car when we strap him up.
He’s been exposed to lots of fruits and veg. The only meat I have given him is chicken so far. He seems to like most foods and when he really likes something, then he scrunches up his nose and smiles until his eyes disappear. I made him some peach puree today and also I finally made him some congee. I think he is starting to graduate from purees to more bits of food.
Let’s get back to the Chipotle restaurant. It’s not your run in the mill fast food mexican restaurant. They serve food that mostly uses organic meats and vegetables. Their menu is simple but they wanted to provide people with wholesome and delicious ingredients. It’s really good and their guacamole is quite good. If you are in the US, then it’s worth a try. I even fed Pax some of the cheese and he seems to like it.
It’s been a topsy turvy time reaching this 7 month milestone. Here’s hoping for a calmer 8 months. Happy 7 months Pax, we love you to bits.
