He is a funny little character...
On one hand, he is very Middle Eastern...He cries (literally tears) to get more houmous (Can you blame him?) He cannot get enough spicy food made with a lot of onion, garlic, cumin and tomato paste. He shakes his booty whenever he hears any kind of music and is attracted by anything that makes a sound....Here's a little video....
On the other hand he is very French...he likes everything better with cream. He has a sweet tooth and likes finishing his food with a small dessert. He has a very developed palate...The first spoon of every meal he takes just a little bit to see if he likes it. If he does, he opens his mouth, if he doesn't, no matter what you do, he won't eat. I was joking the other day to my husband that he will soon ask for wine to go with his food.
He sometimes acts like a small man. Someone who met him told me that he looks like he will put on a tie and go to work the following morning, which made me laugh. But that's the impression he gives. Now he systematically refuses to take his baby bottle. A huge problem! No more pacifiers....And he won't drink water unless it's from a glass.
Last month, he started saying things like maaaa, pa-pa-pa, da-da-da, blah, blah, blah...We are all wondering in which language his first word will be...
He still does not crawl and seems in no rush whatsoever to do so.

He did his first hike at Sonian Forest last Sunday.... In his Manduca and his father's coat, feeling all warm and cozy, he was talking to the trees until he fell asleep.

And finally, 9-month-mama introspection, which may sound a little too dramatic but here it goes...
Being a mother and caring so much for another human being makes you realize how fragile and delicate life is. Life is not by default, life is not given. Anything can happen at any moment. That's why, everyday I spend with him is a gift. For every single breath he takes, I am grateful.
Gah! HE IS TOO SWEET and CUTE! I cannot handle.
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I think so too ;)
DeleteSounds so much like Eli! Eli loves spicy foods, dancing, and takes a first taste very critically! Isa was the one in no rush to crawl. She spent maybe a month crawling, and then onto walking at a year old. I'm crossing my fingers I get the september vacation. 2 weeks in europe! we find out in february!
ReplyDeleteYes, they say that sometimes first-borns take their time...I'ts funny how Eli and Sevan are alike, oh the frenchness! We are already making multiple plans for your vacation!
