Getting to know MANA

SOFT THINGS = SUCK THUMB
When Kamanamau touches something soft it triggers his thumb to go straight in his mouth. Weird. I know. I didn't think it would be something i would blog about but when I saw this it was just too cute...well i mean what isn't when it comes to your own child?? So while I was on the computer I let him play around in the room. He was making his way over to me and that's when he found a piece of a blanket that wasn't fully tucked into the 'blanket tub'. He stopped, looked at it, touched it (it must have been soft), then bent down and started sucking his thumb while holding on that tiny part of the soft blanket. I thought it was so funny, and cute of course. So here are the pictures to make you smile. In my old post there's that pic of him sucking his thumb while touching his soft panda pillow. I made the connection of his thumb sucking to soft things while doing laundry. It was my "ah ha moment". I came in with my basket of clean rugs and clothes. I threw the rugs on the floor and poured the clothes on the couch. I went to the room/kitchen (i really don't know, i just remember the important stuff) and came back to the living room to find Kamanamau full on cuddling with the rug and sucking his thumb. My first thought was gross! only cos it was the bathroom rug, i mean it was clean but it's the bathroom one! So that's when i finally made the connection.

RED LIGHT

When Mana sees a red light he will usually make this face. He squints his eyes, opens his mouth wide, and lets out a little "uuhhh". You try it LOL. I put 2 and 2 together when connecting the dots. He did the face when I took pictures of him because sometimes a red light would come on before the camera flashed; I still didn't connect it then. When we pull up to a red traffic light we sometimes say 'red light' and one day I turned to look at him and he was doing the face (without the sound) and Joe & I were just cracking up. Then later that day I had the "ah ha moment". I was so proud to tell Joe that I figured it out. He just looked at me and was like "okay". What a party pooper.

As you can see Mana is crying.

I distract him with the camera. Here's the red light face.

He forgot all about why he was crying in the first place. I'm good! LOL

He also has a thing for throwing everything. He likes to watch it drop. Actually, i don't know yet. He just likes to throw everything. He will pull all the clothes out from the basket and make sure that it is outside, and not inside the basket. When it's clean clothes I let him go at it, but dirty clothes I have to stop him because I feel sorry for what he has to smell hahaha, eventhough it really looks like he doesn't care.

That's a lil bit of Mana for you :)
