The little guy is growing up fast. And yes, he's sitting on the john. Doesn't always go on it, but I'm trying to get him to learn that the diaper isn't the only place to pee and poop. Not an EC (Elimination Communication) fanatic, but want to streamline potty training when the time comes.
Currently Didi's a bit out of sorts because he's sprouting his fourth tooth. He's just learned to wave bye bye and does an uncoordinated clap and "gong xi gong xi" movement. It's all very irresistible as I make him my little monkey and laugh at each "performance". Babies are just so much joy to have around.
I braced myself for a boy who would crawl and pull himself up and walk by 9 months. But been lucky so far. While he's really wiggly he's not really crawling yet at 8 months, so he's like Mia. Having another kid makes life interesting because you get to see the similarities in your offspring. So far, I think they are more similar than different. Both are pretty happy go lucky types and rarely fuss, but I have come to realize that this does not mean they are mellow. David is very vocal like Mia. He babbles and "talks" very loudly. He has started signing. The only signs he has picked up are "milk" and "more". We are trying to teach him "please" and "thank you", but he's a bit neanderthal like and wants what he wants NOW and not a second later. Can't be bothered with niceties.
My kids are both proving to be stubborn. Didi is refusing to be fed, wants to feed himself and will bang on his tray until he gets what he wants. He also does this odd, fast breathing through is nostrils a la Bruce Lee when he's pissed off that Cheerios or Puffs are not on the menu. It is actually cute, but we're trying not to laugh or give him any kind of positive reinforcement for such behavior. I'll try to get a video of it up soon.
Lastly our Kona ba Bona turned five this week. Happy Birthday my precious pooch!

Interestingly, David's head looks fairly large in the photo but in fact his head is on the smaller side. It's funny how the camera can really distort reality.
Having two little ones has been quite a fun experience. It is amazing how quickly kids grow up. While my dear love would want to experience the joy of early parenthood for one more go around, I am a bit more hesitant. I am enjoying quite a bit the little ones as they get older, soak in the world, and become a little less dependant on us.
As for Kona, it is hard to believe that she has been with us for 5yrs. Mia doesn't really take to her all that much and perhaps that is because she has taken after me. Don't get me wrong, I like the dog, but I still regard her as an animal. Perhaps David will have a softer spot for her or maybe as the kids get older, they'll take to her more. We'll see.
Ken's comments are hilarious. :-)
