Month 7 - Army Crawler
Mama
Confessions – you are growing way too fast! This month you mastered the art of
speed army crawling. You aren’t much interested in actually crawling on your
hands and knees because army crawling is so much faster. You get SO excited for
bath time and now that you can sit up and crawl, you get the full bath
experience. As soon as we swing open the bathroom door (it has to remain closed
or you sneak in there) you motor across the living room for bath time!
Precious. You also have your first tooth, much to Mama’s surprise! You teethed
like a champ the first time around and that little pearly white popped up
without warning. Since that tooth came along, biting is becoming a frequent
occurrence. You bite Mama and she yells, you laugh. Headed to another cow show
this month. You’re taking these like a pro and I’m grateful because it is what
we love to do. You grow so much each and every day. You like to eat, but still
love to nurse. You’re up to 3 meals a day and take 5 6 oz bottles. This month
you had croup. We can’t wait for warm, germ free weather!
Month 8 - Mover and a Shaker!
Officially on
the MOVE! You’re up on all fours, crawling wherever you can manage to squeeze
your little self through. You love to crawl all over Mama and Daddy and you
think Daddy is particularly funny these days. We have video to prove that your
belly laugh is the sweetest sound on the planet. You have been thinking about
sleeping all night, but just can’t commit. Some nights we can make it to 4 or 5
in the morning without waking, but not every night. You really love to eat
sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, apples, bananas, carrots, parsnips, plums,
mango, and anything that is NOT green. Mama made you spinach this month and you
HATE it. If it is disguised in mango, it’s doable until you outsmart me and
then Mama gets more spinach on her face than you get in your mouth. You are
still in 9 month clothes, but we are pushing the seams in some things. You’ll
be in 12 month so soon! We’ve had some nice weather and you love to be outside.
You’re going to have a fair complexion so we will have to grease you up in
sunscreen when we start swimming. I think you will love to swim! Next month,
you’re going on an airplane! To Florida!
Month 9 - Wild Man
Pull up, sit
down, crawl around, pull up, sit down, crawl around, repeat. Welcome to our
lives! You love to move and shake whenever you get a chance. You pull up on
anything that appears sturdy. You crash and burn just to go right back at it.
We vacationed this month to see Great Grandpa and Grandma Hill and Great Aunt
Heidi. We took Grammy, Great Aunt Jackie, Katie, and Will. You and Will were so
good on the airplane! Sleeping, not so much. It was a quick trip, but we had a
great time. You love to try pieces of food cut up into tiny little bites and
you are so independent! You’d much rather feed yourself than be fed and love to
scream at the top of your lungs in your high chair. Chasing the dog is a
favorite past time, but he still isn’t a big fan. You are Mr. Destructible and
can clear tables, shelves, and an entire room in no time. Loading/Unloading the
dishwasher is such an entertaining challenge. You love to position yourself on
the dishwasher door and take out everything Mama puts in. Your favorite sounds
are da-da-da, ba-ba-ba, ga-ga-ga, and you save ma-ma-ma for special hours of
the day … Midnight to 4 am. Stats: 21 lbs 6 oz and 29” long!
