Gymnastics

We went to a birthday party at the gymnastics place, Elite Gym. Andrew had a blast and spent a good hour jumping off the vault. He called it his diving board. I guess he is ready for summer!

Earning Fruit Loops

Around here you have to earn your fruit loops!!!

 

Having fun practicing fine motor skills :-)

7 Months

We love you, happy boy! It is so hard to believe you are closer to 1 year old. I love watching your grow and discovery new things.

At 7 months:

~You wear size 4 diapers.

~ Wearing size 6-9 month clothing.

~Wearing size 2 shoes

~Sleeping Once I can convince you to go to sleep, you like it. You will sleep from about 9 pm to 8 am. More than brother ever slept!!! You are now sleeping like a champ in your crib.

 

~Bottle every 3-4 hours, drinking 6 oz.

~You are eating oatmeal cereal with mixed fruits in the mornings and cereal, veggies and fruits in the afternoons, and cereal before bed. You don't have a favorite as long as fruit is mixed in with the veggies. You also love Cheetos, Yum Yums, and MumMums.

 

~Napping- Well, one day I'll get you on a schedule. You usually take a catnap in the morning while running errands or at a playdate. In the afternoon you take a 2 hour nap usually.  

 

~You are babbling: Agga, and Dada

 

~You love your bath!!!

 

~Mrs. Kristin comes once a week to work with us. You light up when she signs to you.

 

~You love books and PAPER!

 

~ You still roll, but hate to be on your back. You prefer to play sitting up. If you need to get to a toy, you do this little bounce thing to get to the object.

 

~Your favorite toy is the gear toy that spins gears and lights up. You also enjoy watching brother play with his toys. You are always watching brother.

 

 

 

Benny-poo-poo, all of us love you so much! We are so glad you are apart of our family!

Weekend "fun"

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL!!!! So.. we enjoyed the weather and spent time raking leaves. We had 16 bags of leaves... and we are still not done. Thank you Wes for letting us borrow the lawn mower. Couldn't imagine raking all of these!!!
