Looking back on Week 50

Wow another week gone and over!! AND only two more till our little one turns his BIG ONE!!! Can you believe how time flies!!!
Food:
Mikki has been doing really well with his solids this week. Mamma and pappa are so proud of him!! He started not wanting to nurse this week, especially in the mornings, he is just not interested. (?) Maybe he is ready to move on to solids… ?
* We gave him pumpkin this week! Mamma thought that he would just love pumpkin, but he does not really care for it, well at least not on the first few tries.
*We added cinnamon to Mikki’s oats and apples. He loved it!!
This week:
* The good news is that we have gotten rid of the thrush in Mikki’s mouth. On Tuesday he was “clean” :) Yipppeeee!!!
* His walking is improving SUPER tons and he really could walk by himself if he wanted to! A few times this week he let go of our finger, but then sank down. Any day now :)
* Even though he is able to crawl now, he is really not interested. Even if we put something that he really wants out in front of him, he will still try and reach it from a standing position. Only if he really, really has to will he crawl, funny little guy :)
*Mikki is talking SO much more this week. He is saying “gggggg” to everything. :) He is also making a ton of different sounds. It is so amazing to see him communicating more :)
*Potty training has gone VERY well this week. Mikki started realizing that he should go for number two on his potty :) He is doing really well. Mamma and pappa sometimes miss the opportunity, but Mikki seems to understand what it is all about :)
* Mikki has been ULTRA fussy :( Not quiet sure why though. He is still not sleeping well during the night, we did get him to sleep from 8pm till around 11-12pm with the help of some rice cereal, but after that he wakes up just about every hour crying!!! :(
* He started biting us this week!!! Really hard too!!! When we hold him he bites our shoulders, or our chins! Why?

Looking back on Week 49

Well mamma is way behind on Mikael's website, so she has decided to start again this week and work backwards till she catches up :O) Sorry!!!
This week has been very amazing… and challenging!! :)
On Wednesday last week we started seeing white "sponge-like" spots on Mikael's tongue, at first we thought that it was just from the milk, but now we are thinking that it might be thrush. Fun, fun, fun!! It spread to the inside of his lips and also some on the inside of his cheeks. Anyway, we have been putting a solution of baking soda and water in his mouth and it seems to be getting better :) He really does not like this, but he has been doing well with it :)
Today he started being VERY “sensitive” and fussy. If he hits himself lightly with his toys, then he starts to cry, cry, cry. We gave him some oral jel, and it seemed to help, maybe teeth are coming through again???
Highlights this week:
*We celebrated Pappa’s 30th birthday on Sunday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPPA!!! Mikael gave pappa a wonderful gift- he started crawling on all fours!!!! :)
* We have been trying to teach Mikki how to get off of our bed safely, by sliding down on his belly, well on Monday he slid off our bed all by himself! It was so funny to watch his facial expressions!!!
* Out of sight… out of mind… yip maybe this was true a week ago, but now when we take things away from Mikki, or hid things, or put them out of sight, Mikki will go and look for them. Our little curious George :)
* Mikki is walking much better and with much more confidence with our help. He is VERY careful and does not step out without holding on to something. I guess we are glad for this in a way as he has hardly been falling :) He is figuring it all out so well!

* Also Aunty Charlene and Uncle Ron came to visit us!!! It was so fun seeing them again!!! Mikki had LOADS of fun with them :)
