Mikael: Looking back on Week 35

Mikael is eight months old!!!! Yip, on Tuesday Mikael turned the BIG eight!!! Wow how time flies!!! We went for his monthly check up and he now weighs 11kgs (around 24 pound) and is 77cm (around 30 inches) long!!!! A BIG boy! :)
Grandma left on Saturday and oh, how we miss her!!! Mikael had a super time with her, and so did mamma and pappa :)

Foods:
Mamma made Mikael’s food more watery this week, and he did better with it. Probably the new textures are bothering him. He ate much better this week than last week. :)
Cabbage 10.05 – bad idea! Poor Mikael had TONS of gasses :(

This Week:
*Mikael picked at his ears, they bled really badly and now he has pretty bad looking scabs. The doctor checked and he does not have an ear infection, she thinks it might be teeth.
Look at that ear... :(

*He is moving more and more. Always on the go. No signs of crawling yet, last week he was doing so well and this week he is just not interested :( On Wednesday though he did do some soldier crawling :) Mainly he just wants us to hold him in a standing position the whole time. Mamma’s back is feeling it!!!
*“Aunty” Zhenya and little Lucas, Mikael friend and came to visit on Friday!!! Lucas is exactly to the day six months older than Mikael!! They share their half birthdays! They had tons of fun together, and so did the two mommies :) Mikael was just wondering how Lucas gets up and runs so fast, well at least that’s how it looked like to mamma :)

*Mikael is starting to try and copy sounds that we make. :) It is so funny to watch him! Mamma and Pappa put up some animal posters, and coloured them, hee hee, to help Mikael see the animals and make their sounds :)
*Along with the check up this week, Mikael also got his shots again. He did super well with them! :)
*Mikael has been sharing this week!!! It is so sweet!! When he is playing with something, he will offer it to you and watch you play with it for a while. Wondering what he is thinking :)

Mikael and Mamma telling stories :)
