Things are happening

Laik's first curl is now safely in his Dedication Day bible.  Now I know this isn't the typical place to store the "first hair cut" but I had to put it somewhere!

His little head now looks like a big boy cut in the back.  I did it myself and cried afterwards!

Each day my precious is getting bigger.  He isn't hitting all the typical milestones like the books say he should but he is progressing.  I am so proud.

Just a few tidbits about life with Laik....

  • August 30....the first tooth broke the skin!
  • August 31....the curl was cut!
  • Within the last month....a "Kim-itude" (Todd's term, not mine) is starting to develop. 
  • Toys continue to be more and more of an interest.
  • Making progress with solid foods.  He really likes the Chester's Corn Puffs....he just grins each time he gets a piece!
  • Slowly, he is beginning to pay attention to the food on the tray. Still not grabbing it, but hopefully soon.
  • The drink from a straw is still a work in progress, but we continue to try.
  • He likes strongly flavored foods.
  • He is sleeping on his side.  This was a big surprise one morning about two weeks ago.  
We have a lot going on and football season is firing up!  We'll keep you posted....
