Almost 6 months!

Jakub is almost 6 months old. He has two teeth, and he likes to bite things. He is sitting up totally on his own and is starting to "chat". He is so much fun. He has started to like falling asleep on his own. He has a hard time sleeping in my arms, and although I'm pretty sure I have a harder time letting that go than him, it's a good thing. He is eating baby food now. I decided to make my own food, and it's so easy! He is eating Green Beans, sweet potato, (Krystian says every good Polish person likes potatoes), apples and Bananas. His favorite is apples, maybe cause they are sweet? I can't wait to give him a lemon to watch his face:)

My First Tooth!

Kuba's first tooth cut through yesterday!

Yay!

Over-Stimulation

I am someone who is easily over-stimulated. Mostly when it comes to noise. I have a hard time relaxing if someone is talking loudly on the phone, blaring music, or if the TV is slightly too loud. I get tense, and I have a hard time concentrating. I think Kuba might be the same way. He can't seem to relax (mostly to eat) if there is too much noise. I can't really blame the little guy, and I know what he's going through. I can't seem to train myself to get over this, and I don't think Kuba will outgrow it either.

I am wondering what the best ways to get past this are...I don't want Kuba to always be uncomfortable when there is something slightly too loud.

I guess like Mother, like son:)

Well, time flies.



Kuba had his 4 month check up last monday. He is a super healthy 16 pounds. And he is a tall little guy, as I am told from the Doctor, although I have nothing to compare it too...but he is perfect.

I think I have a perfect kid. I mean, I am sure tons of mothers would love to argue with me, but I'm pretty sure, I would win.

I love being a mom.

Too Fast...

You are 15 weeks old now. Drool seems to be your constant companion, and you soak through a bib hourly. Daddy makes you laugh...he jiggles your legs, and you squeal in happiness back at him. Mommy can't seem to get a solid laugh out of you yet, maybe it's a guy thing. You study everything around you with such purpose, sometimes I think your eyeballs will pop out of your head. You wont give a smile to just anyone, Mommy, Daddy, family, but not some old lady at the grocery store. Your hands fascinate you, and when you can aim one into your mouth to chew on, you suck away. You are growing out of everything like a weed, and it makes Mommy want time to slow down. You make Mommy and Daddy so happy. We are so lucky.

Kuba is 12 weeks old.

He is starting to be able to control his left hand. He likes to suck on it. He sees it, brings it to his mouth with precision, and sucks like crazy...then he gets excited, and his arms flail, and he starts the whole process over again. He is growing, and is, I believe, about 14 pounds...

I am enjoying so much watching him grow. He is turning into this little man, and it's so much fun to see his personality showing itself here and there. For example: He knows that if he fusses, just a little, I am a wuss, and will pick him up. He doesn't even put much effort into fussing, he just pouts his little lip, and I turn to jelly.

Becoming a mother has surprised me. I used to never like kids. I mean, I always knew I would love/ like my own kids, but other kids just annoyed me. I have suddenly become interested in my friends children. I guess becoming a mother, you see how you want to brag, and talk about how great your kids are all the time, and it's become way easier to identify with those women.
