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

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

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...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
