Baby diary: 18 months 2 weeks
Jun. 24th, 2020 04:17 pm Another fussy period. All of a sudden, Alan won't eat fruits and vegetables - except the puree packs and lemonade. He'll even put the berries or whatnot in his mouth himself, but chew and spit it out as if it tastes weird. So, today for breakfast he had corn puffs and applesauce. Yesterday morning, to be fair, he had a couple of bites of pan-fried halloumi, which I suppose is superior to most cheeses.
He's also had a couple of episodes of waking up from his nap in a huge temper. On Father's Day this happened while his grandparents were over and my dad didn't really take it seriously and kept laughing and getting in his face, which made him more upset, until he ended up barfing his bottle of milk all over my bed. =_= In fact there were a few barf episodes altogether. Still, on other days he naps and wakes up just fine and cheerful. He's been sleeping more during the day; waking up early and going to bed late due to the sun, and being tired out from more playing outside. There's been another heat wave, very dry this time with no rain for 10 days so all the public grass turned yellow. I've been taking Alan to the splash pad down the block nearly every day, very early before the heat becomes too crushing. He doesn't really like having water showering down on him, but he likes playing with the smaller streams, filling his cup and emptying it, or trying to drop pebbles down the drain. I keep having to stop him from putting pebbles in the grilles of parked cars.
Alan's getting reasonably tanned, as am I, studious application of sunscreen aside. Since he usually wears rubber shoes with aeration holes on the top, he has a pattern of tanned spots on the tops of his feet.
Saw the mom 'n' baby yoga group at the park near the marina, since one of the families is moving back to Calgary. May have been due to shyness, but none of the kids said much bar a couple of words, like "yes" or "nana" (E, who very much wanted my banana). My dad's been on my case about Alan not talking, but it seems to me his expectations are overblown.
