9 Months Old

This month has been full of congestion, runny nose and coughing. But believe or not you do seem to be getting better. You have accomplished a lot in the last month. You can crawl, not just Army crawl.

You can pull up to things and stand.

Crawling and standing up means that gates have gone up to keep you from going places you don't belong. Maddy Dog is trying to figure out who exactly is getting locked out.

You have really started liking to push cars and trucks this month.

You are still the center of our world. Nana Jane loves to come see you and sometimes she brings McKenna to play.

And of course your Hon and Gpa can't get enough of seeing you.

This month you weigh 22 lbs. and are 28 inches long. You like almost any kind of food we give you. You are chewing like you are trying to get more teeth but as of now we can only see two.  You still wear size 4 diapers and size 12 clothes. You hate shoes and will hardly leave socks on. Thank goodness summer is coming.

We can't wait to see what new things you will do next month.

8 Months Old

We are still dealing with sickness. You aren't running a fever but your nose runs and you are still congested. You went back to the doctor for the fourth time and he is now treating you for asthma.  Even though you haven't felt good you are still as cute as a button.

You can get anywhere you want to go by army crawling. You get up on all fours but drop down when you want to move. You're wearing mostly 12 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and still won't keep socks on. You wear a size 3 shoes although we hardly try putting any on you because you kick them off.

So far you only have the two teeth. You still like any kind of baby food that we give you. You have started eating some of the baby finger foods and have liked all of them.

You like any toy that makes noise and can push the buttons yourself. You can patty cake on command. You laugh a lot and we have a great time playing with you.

You still don't sleep all night but I know you are thinking...I have been sick!! Here's hoping month 9 finds you feeling much better.

Two Teeth

After drooling, chewing and a lot of fussing you got one tooth and a few days later another one popped through.

In all fairness who knows if the fussy part is due to the tooth or you feeling bad from being so congested.

The Sickness Saga Continues

Well, we are into week three of you being sick and week four isn't looking much better. You have been to the doctor every week this month. He gave you antibotics, steroids and a breathing machine. On the last visit he decided to treat you for RSV even though your test came back negative. The month of January hasn't been the best and we will be glad to see it go.

7 Months Old

Can you believe I forgot to post your 7 month pictures? I remembered to take your pictures but I got distracted with you being sick and didn't blog about your seventh month. So with my humble apology here is all the cuteness of your 7th month.

You weigh 20 lbs,

 are wearing size 12 month clothes, size 4 diapers and we can't hardly find shoes to fit you. You hate socks and do your best to pull them off.

You can get up on your knees like you are going to crawl but can't get everything going at once. But since you can Army crawl and roll you manage to get where you want to go.

 You put everything in your mouth. You have chewed and drooled your way through the last month with the result being two teeth on bottom. You have liked everything we have given you to eat.

You started daycare this month. After two days you got sick with a cold. You were running a 102 fever and had to go the doctor which was the first time you had seen him other than well visit. The cold has been hanging on so you have come over to stay with us some during the week.

When you aren't feeling bad you are lots of fun and we have a great time keeping you. We can't wait to see what next month brings.

Another First

We got so much snow we could build a snowman.

 

Not really we just got a little

But

We don't miss a chance to take your picture.

So Sick

Well, you went to the daycare two days the first week of January. By that Saturday you were sick with a cold and running a fever. This is the first time since you were born that you have been sick. Because you felt so bad you couldn't go to daycare so there has been a whole lot of this going on.

Over a week later you still are a bit congested but are feeling better. Back to daycare tomorrow so we will see.....
