This weekend, Felix & Chris begin their “Musical Expressions for Babies” class. I’d gotten a catalog of classes offered by our county community center and when I saw this, I knew it would be the perfect thing for him to do with Nugget. Get all that noise out of their system and all. (Huh. Wishful thinking, on my part, that they’ll “get it out of their system.” I know darn well that they’ll probably only be inspired to make even more noise.) :
Ages 1 month to 15 months with parent. Play musically with your baby through bouncing and rocking songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, and dancing, moving, and singing! The foundation is laid for beat awareness, vocal production, and aural discrimination. A 45-minute class for parent and infant.
There would be times when Nugget would look so big, and then moments later, he’d look little again. Usually while naked. But now, even naked (which he looooooooooves to be), he looks big. Little man is GROWIN’. He’s a full 16 pounds now. I suspect he had a small growth spurt because this past week, for 3 nights in a row he woke up at 3, 4 and 5:30 am. (YAWN.) And he was cranky & taking 3 hour naps during the afternoon. But then, just like that it stopped. Well… maybe. He woke up at 6:30 this morning, so I can’t really tell just yet. Really, Chris & I would be THRILLED at a 7 am schedule. 7am is nothing to sneeze at. And, funny, that’s what parenthood does to you. Once upone a time, we relished in sleeping till 11 am on weekends. Now I’m ready to do somersaults about sleeping until 7.
He loves being held up in the air, like an airplane. He giggles & squeals and he does this thing where he scrunches up his nose and opens his mouth real wide when he’s having a blast.
He’s got a million expressions & faces, as evidenced by the photos. A million and one. And, hey! He even flipped me the bird last week! Did you see that picture? He may look like his Daddy (it’s the eyebrows), but he’s got my personality (flipping the bird.) Or not. He’s awfully cheerful, and he definitely doesn’t get that from me.
