Jimi isn't talking yet, but he seems to be gravitating that way. Whenever he is eating anything from the grains group (his favorite) he opens his eyes wide, then acts like he is going to say something and goes "UNNNGRWAWARRRRGH". I guess in some way, that only mothers can comprehend, it sort of sounds like "drink".
He also grunts for yes. Are you hungry? "UNGH" Do you want to eat? "UNGH" If it's a no, it's two "UNGH UNGH"s. We try to incorporate Baby Signs into our daily vocabulary, but I honestly forget what half of them are. So long as we understand our code, I guess it'll be alright, even if we are mistaken for cave people.

No doesn't always mean no
Jimi has begun doing the funniest thing. He shakes his head no. But, he doesn't mean no. He shakes his head no, then waits for you to shake your head no, then cracks up laughing. Which, makes us laugh, which makes him laugh, which leads to more head shaking.

Mother's Day
Well, it has been quite awhile since I have blogged. Jimi has grown leaps and bounds and it is funny to think back on his first encounter with solids. He is now taking liquids from a sippy cup and refusing to be fed like a baby. He wants big boy food, and he wants to do it himself! He is VERY fast at crawling, and is cruising around, holding himself up on furniture and hopping from spot to spot.
He is the most adorable boy on the face of the earth! Since I'm not working, we hang out all day long together. It's a lot of work, but it is a lot of fun, too. He looks like his daddy, but he's got my outgoing personality, smile and bubbly personality. Oh, and my humility, too. ;)
Mother's Day was simply marvelous. I didn't have to lift a finger, and got to eat my favorite meal for dinner...breakfast. Dapo and Jimi got me a nice, thoughtful gift bag of bath salts, soaps, lotions and etc. A wonderful gift considering I just spent a week sanding, painting and changing the hardware of the master bathroom cabinets. I also painted it a nice ocean color to match the beautiful picture of the most beautiful beach I have ever personally been to. It was from a trip Dapo and I made in June of '07 when I was 8 mos with Jimi. The water felt so wonderful on my back. I bought a pic of the beach as a souvie and have since framed it and put it in the master bath. Being a mother can be taxing, so I wanted a place I could retreat to and go to a happy place. So, after all the work, a trip to Pier One and now my Mother's Day gift, I love my bathroom. I capped the day off with a long jet bath...ahhhh!
