29 Weeks

He's a rocker and a bouncer

 

No...he's not a rock star or bodyguard. But, this baby loves to rock and bounce! Last week he started getting on his hands and knees rocking back and forth. One of these days, soon we think, he's going to take off crawling!

When we're holding him, he likes to throw himself back and forth and head-bang. There's that rock star coming out in him again! haha...He does this in his high chair as well.

What is it with bouncing and motion, lights, paper, gadgets and any sort of electronics? Santino goes nuts for them. It's very reminiscent of how Maximus was as a baby. Perhaps all babies are that way? I don't know. But, one thing for sure...Santino has developed a curiosity about everything. He wants to hold and taste anything that comes within close proximity.

Sometimes he reminds me of a puppy. He's really into giving you wet, slobbery kisses. teehee! It's pretty cute.

Last week it sounded like he said Mama a couple of times. I think it was just a fluke, but Maximus and I looked at each other in amazement when we heard it.

If he's fussy and not eating, I can sing to him and he'll calm down and eat his food. Singing also helps when he's crying or not sleeping. Maximus and I sing this made up song to him and he'll stop. It goes like this: "Baby, don't cry...Baby don't cry...Baby, don't cry."

Santino still continues to growl when he's happy.

We love you sweet baby!
