You
were born 7 months ago! This past month
has definitely been one full of firsts.
You caught your first cold and it lasted a little over two weeks!! It didn’t seem to bother you too much other
than when you were waking up in the middle of the night because you couldn’t
breathe with all the congestion. The
humidifier sure got a workout!! You
coughed some in the beginning mostly from post-nasal drip but towards the end
you developed a pretty good cough. We
eventually took you to the doctor since you’d been sick so long and your cough
sounded horrible. The doctor said it was
all breaking up and you’d be better soon.
She was right! Within a day or
two you were back to normal. We
survived! How about we don’t get sick
again for awhile??
One
perk of taking you to the doctor was getting to check your weight! You weighed 20 pounds!!! No wonder you’re getting too heavy to cart
around! We’ve started avoiding having to
lift you in the baby carrier because it’s just too heavy. We finished up the last of the stage 1 foods
and started stage 2. You sure love
peas! You must have gotten that from
Daddy. You’re loving most of the stage 2
foods and all the variety that come with it.
We aren’t having to mix the purees in with your cereal so much
anymore. You’ve been refusing your
bottle again - lots of crying and batting it away. We can’t figure out a pattern so we’re
thinking maybe there is some teething going on.
Unfortunately
you’ve started getting fussier and fussier.
Especially in the afternoons when you’re tired. You now pump your legs and kick when you’re
really excited about something. You
aren’t too interested in bath toys yet but you like to hit your foot against
the end of the tub and make the water splash.
We turned you around so you are sitting in the toddler position rather
than the infant position. This means
you’re sitting up straight and in a good position to splash with your hands.
Just
recently you’ve started sitting up unassisted for longer periods. You don’t know how to sit up on your own or
how to lay back down though so you get stuck there. You’ve finally remembered how to roll in BOTH
directions and now you’re really moving around on the floor a lot. You also put your head down while you’re on
your tummy and use your legs to push forward.
It won’t be long before we’re going to have to get out the baby gates!!
Just
like always, you make our lives so much more special and we love spending time
with you. We can’t wait to see what the
next month with bring. We love you!!
