Seven Months old!!!
April 22, 2011
Good Friday!!
My sweet sweet Brody bear you are seven months old!! I can not believe it is true! It feels like yesterday you were born, but at the same time it seems as if you have been here forever! I could never imagine my life with out you in it! You mean the world to me...I am sooo in love with you my sweet little seven month old boy!!!!
What have you been up to?
* You are still very laid back and easy going...but you are also learning that you get to have an opinion too! Sometimes you get a little upset when we aren't doing what you want to be doing or if something isn't going your way. But, who could blame you??
* You can "crawl" almost! You can basically crawl, but more of a scoot and pull. You pull your self and scoot, but you are fast and can get all around doing this to what ever it is you are trying to get!
* You can sit up all by your self now!!
* You are always covered in drool. Your shirt is always soaked b/c of it! I think you will be getting a tooth soon!
* You weigh 20lbs. and 10oz....getting so big!! I LOVE your chubby legs and arms. I love how your wrist looks like there is a rubber band there b/c of the little chub between your wrist and hang! I kiss that all the time!!
* You are wearing size 9-12 months, but you can still fit into some 6 month clothing.
* You wear a size 4 diaper now!
* You take your naps in your bed. At least for the beginning of the nap. Usually you wake up and mommy has to hold you for the rest of the nap. I don't mind at all!!
* We are trying really hard to get you to sleep in your bed at night. It has been a challenge! Usually I just give up b/c I would rather you sleep right next to me anyway! But, last night you slept in your bed from 11:30 until 6:30, so that is a start!
* You drink 6 oz. every 3-4 hours during the day. You have your last bottle around 9:30 and go to sleep soon after that, depending on how many times Avery wakes you up!
* You are eating baby food every night for dinner. You have had: squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans and peas. You love them all except the green beans. You are also starting to eat a fruit in the morning with your cereal. You have had bananas and pears. You loved them both. You did break out into a little rash after eating the carrots and bananas. We are going to try those again later!
* You SMILE and LAUGH ALL the time! You are soooo happy!!!
* You love your sister! Your eyes light up when she talks to you! She keeps you laughing and you love when she plays with you! You are so sweet you don't even get upset when she is "mean" to you!! =)
* You still like to jump in your jumparoo! You still love your swing, but unfortunately you have grown to big to fit into it! =(
* You like to be down on the floor sitting up and playing with your toys and crawling around exploring!
* You always want to be standing on your feet and even want to stand up at the coffee table and try to walk around it!!! SLOOOOOW down!!!!
* You really like mommys hair and always want your hand in it, especially when you are going to sleep you like to touch my hair and face and neck....I absolutely love it!!! I think you are just trying to make sure I am still there!
* You also like tags and blankets that have fringe on them.
* You are really talking a lot now.....you can say dada and you say bye-bye and can even wave your sweet little hand!!
* It was so much harder to take your pictures this month...all you want to do is move and crawl and grab the camera!!
Avery could not wait for the Easter Bunny to come! We left him out some lettuce in case he was hungry and needed a snack. We didn't have any carrots which Avery wasn't to happy about, but we did have lettuce so that seemed to work okay!
