Troy is trying new foods everyday. His latest loves are ground beef, tuna (to my dismay :), and turkey. When Ben feeds Troy he likes to shove in the food as fast as possible. I think it's because that is how Ben eats. So, I don't know if Troy caught on to that, or if he just inherited the trait. But his hand never stops moving. Even if he didn't pick something up, he tries to put "it" in his mouth. He shovels everything in front of him into his mouth. So I can't put too much in front of him at once. The turkey is hard for him to pick up, so he misses a lot, and it gets all over him. But it's cute to watch him feed himself.
Notice it's all over his hands. He ends up sucking on his whole fist and wrist to get to all of it.
On another note. I have somewhat solved a dilemma of mine. My workouts. They had ceased to exist once Troy could move around, because I couldn't just keep him in one place while I ran on the treadmill. He would try and come to me (obviously dangerous) and our pack-n-play is only for sleeping in his mind. I even tried holding him while I road on the bike. That was probably the biggest ab workout I've ever had. But I found this website, sparkpeople.com, and workouts on BYU TV that are perfect for me! The sparkpeople videos are free and you can get them on Youtube or their website. I also tried a long yoga video yesterday. I am extremely sore today, but that's what I wanted, I guess. Ha. Youtube finally comes in handy for me :)
You should get a jumper! We got one when Jif was 6 months old and it has truly been the best investment ever. I can actually go take a shower during the day while he has a blast jumping in his jumper and getting his “exercise”. I put him in it when I do my work outs because if I don’t he will crawl all over my tummy. Honestly, I don’t know how people live without them. It has been a lifesaver!
ReplyDeleteHey I'll have to check out the workouts I definately could use some good ones! He is getting so big, love when they can feed themselves gives you a little more time
ReplyDeleteYou're so good to work out Char. I keep telling myself I'm going to start kickboxing again, but has it happened?? NO. Oops. SOON. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you're working out! I wish Addie would eat like Troy. She won't feed herself a lot. She doesn't like to get her hands messy. And she also doesn't like food that she has to chew. Sounds like he's a good eater! Will you add me for when your blog becomes private? nbeecf@yahoo.com
