Since returning from vacation I've noticed a lot of changes in my little man. People told me I would barely recognize him after a week away and while that's not entirely true, I definitely feel he's gaining skills daily!
For starters, he's blond now. He had medium to light brown hair before I left him and after a week in the cottage sun he is full out blond! I swear, he must have been sitting out with Sun-In in his hair the way his highlights look!
Second, my blond bombshell is noticing things he never would have before: boats out on the lake catch his eye, a tiny bug on the ground has his full attention. Isn't it funny how only months ago his eyes couldn't even focus on my hand in front of it and now he's picking out things both near and far.
And third, he's pointing at these things he's noticing. Pointing and looking at me to see if I see that he's seen something. Its hilarious how he looks for approval for even the smallest things. "See Mom, see how I see that thing over there? Do you see me seeing that thing?"
And fourth - he's eating like a champ! From spitting chunks out of his yogurt to fully chewing pieces of pasta! As much as people said he would eventually get the hang of eating its such a relief to see him chew real food and SWALLOW it!
And lastly, he's lost his zombie-walk. Up until this past week, even though he's been walking for a while, he walked with his arms out in front of him as if he were ready to fall at any moment. All of a sudden he's gotten comfortable in his walk, arms at his sides, strolling around.
Such a lot of changes in what seems like such a short time. I recognized him when I got back but he did indeed change a lot!
