While we were having dinner one evening, I told Granite that he needs to not text during dinner because it was a bad example and Kono would think it's okay to do that. Granite put his phone away and said "Yeah Kono, we shouldn't text during dinner, right?" Kono replied in a serious tone "But I have to text my friends and my Grandma!" :) The next day as we were telling the story to one of Granite's students, Kono said something like "Mommy is going to get me a phone...for Christmas!"
I have no idea where that came from! I don't even think that he really comprehends that texting is sending and receiving messages and let alone, he's never really been
that interested in phones and neither has he ever mentioned that he wanted one. It was so funny! He's so cute, oftentimes he'll hand me my phone whenever I leave it in one room and go to the next. He's my little phone guardian I guess. :)
And most of the time when our home phone rings (which is not that often), he will answer it and start talking into the ear part of the phone and not even really listen to what the other person is saying but instead he'll ramble on about random things like how chubby and cute Kaipo is or what we are doing. He is hilarious!
I had it with Kaipo's patchy hair and so I decided it was time for a hair cut. Poor thing, I don't like this awkward phase when the hair starts falling out (I can totally relate, my hair comes out like crazy a couple months postpartum.) Kono had really patchy hair and we didn't cut his hair until he was like 7 months. We laugh when we see pics of him during that stage of his life. Anyway, so last night, I got brave enough to break out the clippers and do it myself! Though it's not the best, (due to his hair falling out in areas more than others, him crying because he was so scared of the buzzing sound and me not being an expert at it) it will do and I think he looks cute!! He also looks a bit older.
I've been wanting to make this post for a while now. Don't you think he looks a little like Russell from the movie UP? I love that boy by the way, he makes me laugh.
The entire town of Tuba (and other towns and cities down south) was out of electricity and heat for about 11 hours and boy was it cold! What do you do without heat on a cold wintry night and morning? When the electricity first went out, Kono and I were still up. I could not see a thing! No moon light coming into the living room and luckily I found my cell and used the light to lead us to find a candle and match. We slept the whole night without heat and I was thinking, it's a good thing we at least have shelter and plenty of blankets. Granite's "hot body" as I always call it kept us warm too. It was pretty scary to think that we weren't fully prepared for something like this.
Another picture of the little grinder. He's eating sweet potatoes. He had green beans tonight and made a funny face and did this grossed out shake (it's so funny, he looks just like Kono when he does it). I heard that babies and kids take about 10 tries to start liking a food. I gave him another bite and he just ate it and almost finished the container. I think he was just happy to have baby food again since he was out of baby food for two days (except for rice cereal) and just solely nursed yesterday.
Laying on his tummy time toy. He doesn't like being on his tummy much unfortunately. We have to remind Kono that the toy is not to spin him around in like a merry-go-round. :)
He is sitting up here. He sits for about a minute sometimes but eventually falls over.
