The World of Boo

I've been posting a lot of pics lately so I thought it was time for an update on what's been going on in the world of boo.  He's a little monkey, that's for sure.  We've got two teeth coming in on the bottom, which makes for lots of biting, chewing and general fussiness.  It's all good tho because the fussiness isn't too terribly bad.  One of the little chompers is almost fully visible while the other one has just broken through.  I'm sure it's only a matter of days before he's showing off those new pearly whites to anyone who will have a look!

We are also getting very close to crawling, as you might have seen from the last video post.  It seems each day he gets closer and closer - this morning he was going backwards!  Pushing his way toward something he wanted.  He has the idea that he can move and pull himself towards items of interest, what he now needs to figure out is how to pick himself up and move his arms and legs to get it.  Again, only a matter of time before he has it figured out.  I just pray he doesn't do it before we get on the plan to head home to Iowa.

Speaking of Iowa, only two weeks to go before we head off!  I am bricking it as the idea of an 8-9 hour flight alone with Boo seems overwhelming and certainly exhausting.  I've got fingers and toes crossed that we can get a 'sky cot' but we won't be able to secure it until we actually check-in.  I think that would make the flight a lot more bearable.  A LOT!  But i've also purchased a baby carrier and a few new toys to (hopefully) keep Boo entertained along the way.  I've been very anti-TV since Boo was old enough to pay attention but i may just have to bring along the portable DVD player as an option to keep him calm on the flight.

The only other exciting happening in the world of Boo would most definitely be FOOD.  It seems food is the highlight of most things lately.  He's (or should i say 'we are') having so much fun exploring and eating new foods.  We've ramped up quite quickly but such is the nature of baby led weaning.  His most recent conquest included some homemade lasagna.  And oh boy did he LOVE it:

What are you looking at?

What started off with such good intentions (and coverage)
ended with a complete and total mess!

I think it's safe to say he loves Italian food as we also had a great experience at Jamie (Olivers) Italian.  Here he is enjoying some risotto and ravioli:

Mmmmm....risotto is yummy!!

And the most fun with food has got to be eating whole fruit.  Yes, I said WHOLE FRUIT.  Check out boo eating a whole pear:

So lots of fun goings on in the world of boo.  Love his cute little bum! xxx
