I think Martyn grew over the weekend. When I picked him up from the baby sitter today, he just looked SO big to me. I can't even fit my hand all the way around his big head any more. He is a little chubby around the thighs and chin and belly, but he's not a fat baby by any means....just really thick and solid, sturdy.
I was playing with him at home, sitting on the floor while watching a movie tonight. I let him hold my hands, and pull himself up (with a little bit of help) to a standing position. He's really strong! He also really liked that game. When he would stand up all the way, he would smile real big and giggle. I love how he smiles with his whole face, his eyes especially. He is just so much fun!
He's mobile enough now, that I have to put him in the play pen or in the high chair while I'm in the kitchen. I can't just set him on the floor with toys, in front of the kitchen anymore. He will get up and crawl/scoot in there and get in the way. I think I do need to start keeping the floor less dog harry though....he's an excellent swiffer, ha!
He is a hungry boy, too. Every night at dinner time, or just before, he's ready to sit in the high chair and have some baby food, and top it off with some "ninny"....I've been working on helping the diminishing milk supply by pumping more and offering it to him more. It's helping some I guess. Also drinking more water (or trying to at least) and mothers milk tea. It's hard work! I love that he is getting the benefit of breast milk, and I'll do everything I can to keep it up for at least a full year, maybe longer....but I'll be glad to not be breast feeding, when the time comes.
Martyn has been babbling a lot more lately too. Every day, he's just supper chatty. It's pretty cool. We're working on the baby sign language, very slowly. The key is just repetition and timing I guess. I'm excited to see him sign back for the first time, though I don't imagine that will be for a few months.
Here's hoping though!
