4 monther

We have a 4 month old little cub in our midst... This is such a fun age because they start venturing out on their eating habits. He is no longer confined to sucking on honeycomb alone. His diet now includes some smushed up mass that resembles grits. He once tried a pretty slimy banana that was almost mauled beyond recognition...good thing there was a smell other wise i would have been lost when trying to figure out the glaze that was all over his furry little face. His face is pretty hysterical when trying these foreign foods. He even refuses to open his mouth when he sees anything other than honeycomb coming his way. Then when I finally break through the seal of steel I get a face resembling that of a bear cub that just encountered the occupants of the honeycomb. hopefully soon it will become second nature so that one day he can return to nature. His momma can't follow him all his life feeding him honeycomb... :)

Bear's favorite things.....

These are some of Little Bear's favorite things. He loves to stare at his bunny pal before snatching him off his vine and chewing on his ears. I think he is almost trying to let the bunny know that it may be a little wet but it won't be painful and after a few killer grins and some fantastic giggles the bunny gives in. Next is his bumbo... he loves to sit in it and watch momma do whatever she is doing. He is gaining great strength in his neck and back. His excersaucer is a must for him along with his lovee. Now that he thinks Little bears should be on hind feet first he prefers this to the tummy time but he is still getting the all four paws treatment so that he can develop properly to climb big mountains. oh yeah and he is pinching with his back paws these days.. as well as blowing spit bubbles and laughing about it. So adorable ; )

Is it Spring?

Oh it must be spring for we seem to have a little Bear in our midst. Has he come out of hibernation. He seems to have taken on a whole new look as well. How very delighted we are to see such things. He has traveled from so very far away all the way to our home to join his mother and father where he knows that he will receive countless hugs and kisses. Our ultimate plan is to give Bear a permanent home here in the Wachsmann family but for now we are unsure as to what may come of his "visitation" here in our home.

He is growing into quite the little bear that his mother and father knows he can be. He is striving every day to learn at least 2 new things it seems. This past month he has been working on "walking" on his two hind feet. I don't think he knows that he is supposed to start out on all fours. I think he will soon get the idea of what little bears should do, as for now we enjoy seeing him strive for that great big goal his heart is set out on doing. Such accomplishments. We love you Bear....
