Shaking Head

Peanut2 started shaking his head recently.  Not sure what he's trying to tell us, or if he really is trying to say something.  So I put him to test.

Apparently I think he really does mean "No."  Huh!  Is this part of baby sign language??? :)

Happy Holidays!

Exersaucer

Still catching up.  These are from 9/2010.

Catching Up

Catching up on sharing pictures stored in my computer.  This one from 9/2010, 6mo old.

Tummy Time

Didi doesn't object too much to tummy time.  However, he will get tired and put his head down.  Or, he'll fall over on his side and he can't roll or do anything, so he just lays there.

Sitting

He's refusing to roll over, but he's now sitting with some assistance only!  Look how enjoys sitting!

Tooth!

We have tooth!!!  OK, not yet a full one, but it's coming up!   It's on the bottom.  Looks like its neighbor will be coming out too.  Boy, that bite of the finger sure hurt!

Hi Ma!

Hi Ma!  There you are again with your camera!

Puppy

Didi has discovered the Puppy that sings (aka Freaky-Puppy-That-Sings-in-the-Middleof-the-Night-if-You-Forget-to-Turn-Him-Off).  Didi's face totally brightens up when he sees me pulling out the puppy.  He's even happier when the puppy starts singing.

Swing

I know, I know, first I don't have as many pictures for Didi as P1; then I don't upload enough pictures to share.  I hear ya.  Not gonna promise anything though.  Just wanted to tell you that I hear ya. :)

Just wanted to share a rare smile captured on camera.

Lanai

Last day in Hawaii.  Sorry didn't share this earlier.  I really like how he looks here. :)

Halloween 2010

Does he look scary here?

Tram

Taking the Tram inside the Hilton Resort.  Yes, it's that big, that it requires its own tram.

Lounging

Beach cont.

And then it turned out that Peanut#2 doesn't really like the water.

Beach

At Anaehoomalu Bay, or A-Bay for short.

First time on the beach.  Isn't he handsome in his swimsuit?  We lucked out that the townhouse we rented had a huge beach umbrella, which we erected for some sun protection for Didi.

And who is this beefcake, you ask?  It's PeanutDaddy.  Proudly holding Peanut#2.

Sleep

Sleep was definitely different for Didi in Hawaii.  He ended up with his own bed room, at least for the first day and night.  It didn't last for long.  He was not able to sleep well in an unfamiliar place.  He couldn't sleep for very long for his naps, or he just couldn't sleep at all.  I ended up taking him out, hoping the walk will tire him out.  At last, he did fall asleep in my carrier.

The first night, I ended up sleeping with him by holding him half the night until morning.

The second night was a little better.  He got to sleep on top of me the whole night.  On the third and fourth nights, I held him for a while and was able to lay him down on the bed, and sleep next to him.

Then, he started marathon sleeping.  He would sleep from early afternoon until about 4am.  I would feed him only once during his sleep.  Otherwise, there is not a single peep out of him.

As soon as we got back.  He reverted back to his normal routine within a day.  Amazing.

Lanai

Sitting out on the lanai.  Think he enjoys the warm weather and outdoor breeze?  And the fact that he doesn't have to wear his sleepsack unless he's sleeping!

Pretty relaxed, eh?

Plane

Didi's first trip on an airplane.  Got fed before take off.  During the entire flight, he alternated between awake and sleep in 45-minute intervals, with feedings in between.  Overall, not a bad traveller!

Bumbo

One of our nice neighbors gave Little Peanut this Bumbo chair.  I didn't have one for Big Peanut, but had thought it might have been a nice thing to have.  Just as I was about to see if I could borrow one from a friend, our neighbor gave this to us.

This chair is certainly useful.  Little Peanut can sit in it and not have to lie down, when I am unable to hold him upright.  I think he enjoys being in this chair!

Goofy face.

Exersaucer

It took Little Peanut awhile to get used to the Exersaucer.  The first time I put him in it, he cried.  I had to hold him and play with the various things on the saucer a few times before he "agreed" to go in.  When he went in again, he was not very sure if he really wanted to be there.

It took another few tries to get him used to being in the saucer.  Then, he decided it's not so bad afterall, and he started playing with the toys.  Even with sort of a smile!

Bear Mat

A friend gave our Little Peanut this bear playmat.  It is SOOOO plush.  I can't stop touching it!  I think Little Peanut likes it, too.

This Peanut is not very impressed with toys.  He would rather people watch.

Me like.  Don't take.

On the Floor

Tummy time.  He seems to like it!
















Hmmm... what is this strange looking thing?

Stoic?

One of the rare moments that P#2 is not wearing his sleepsack. :)

Does he look serious, or what?  Maybe it's because he doesn't know what to do outside of his sleepsack.  Haha!

Rocker

What a difference a month makes in a baby's life.  Scroll down a couple of posts to see how he looked a month prior to this.  Doesn't he look grown up here?  And, oh, so happy in his SISTER's rocker!  He has to wait until his sister is not around to sit in it.

Favorites

One of his favorite positions.  Leaning on Daddy.

This shirt just makes me laugh.  And he had the face to go with it.
