seven months




Just look at you!  You're so big!

I took this picture yesterday, and only after looking back on it did I realize how grown up you look.  I can't believe my baby is closer to a one year old than a newborn (Aaaahhhhh)

 We've had a great month!

Solids are going really well and you love most anything we feed you (although you always wig out over cold applesauce) You love avocado, rice, and your Mum Mums (I swear I find half soggy Mums attached to your highchair, clothes, and on the floor constantly!)

Sleep has been good; 6:30/7pm bedtime, waking once a night to nurse, then asleep until 6-7am.  It isn't amazing, but it ain't too shabby, either!

You are so alert, observant, and oh-so social.  Just this morning I was drinking coffee from a mug with Dad and my picture on it.  You were staring at the picture of me, so I pointed to it, said "that's me! Mama" then held it to my face.  You quickly looked from the picture to me, then broke out with a huge smile and laughed.  The cutest!

Here's what's new this month:

  • 3 naps a day are still going strong.  
  • You enjoy water from sippy cups, but constantly hit yourself in the head with them  :)
  • You scoot around everywhere and love moving in circles on the floor
  • You're wearing 6-9 month clothing
  • George has finally decided to be your friend, and I'm pretty sure this has made you the happiest baby ever.
  • But Abigail can still make you smile and giggle more than anyone!
  • You love to be tickled and laugh with delight.
  • The little piano has become a new favorite toy
  • I'm still swaddling you and although you roll everywhere when you're awake, amazingly, you stay on your back while sleeping (I am, however, trying to transition you)
  • Pacis at bedtime are still a requirement as well.  You only like the Dr. Brown's, MUM, or Playtex ones
  • Baths scare you, so they are a bit more spars than usual :)
  • You've grown the most adorably impressive peach fuzz.  It sticks straight up!

This coming month is a big one.  Your baptism is in a few weeks and I can't wait.  Godmother Susie and Godfather Pete (her Dad, my Godfather) are flying in for the big day; I'm so excited!  Godfather Victor (I never thought I'd put those two words together!) is excited, too.  ha!

I love you to pieces, baby boy XX

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
