7 Months Old

Will is 7 months old...7! I wish I could just freeze time and keep him like this forever. Ugh! So Will is 7 months old and currently looks like a toddler. He is weighing in at 21 lbs and 28 inches long. He is in the 85th percentile for all of his measurements. He is exactly where he is supposed to be as far as his milestones. He has been rolling around like crazy! You cannot take you eyes off of him for one second. He is also sitting on his own as well. He has been eating 3 meals daily of baby food, both vegetable and fruit, as well as oatmeal or rice cereal. He also gets about 20-24 ounces of breast milk daily. He has been snacking on Mum crackers a couple of days a week as well but mostly just on the weekends. He still takes 3 naps a day and the time ranges from 1-2 hours each nap. He sleeps through the night still in his crib and goes to bed between 630-730pm and gets up between 5-6am. I usually get up for work around the same time. I will say that it has been a DREAM to get all this sleep I have been missing back! Wonderful!!! And its all from the Healthy Sleep habits Happy Baby book that was recommended to me. Best purchase for mommy to date! He is currently wearing 12 month clothes but can fit into 18-24 month clothes...as I found out recently when trying to find something for an industrial photo session with him (the shirt he wore was 24 months and fit him just fine). He is also in size 4 diapers and according to his pediatrician he has outgrown his baby car seat and is ready for the next one. He laughs so much and talks up a storm! He is a very happy baby and I am telling you if we are this lucky the second time around (no I am NOT pregnant) I will thank GOD everyday for being the luckiest mom ever. He has also had his first try in the baby pool. He cried at first but LOVES splashing around in the water. He enjoys going to his Nana and Opa's every Sunday to visit and play. He has his 2 bottom teeth in and his top right tooth has barely started to come through. We also had our first late night visit to the doctor. We took him into Goodnight Pediatrics at midnight on a Thursday night because he had a really bad cough and it almost sounded like a bark at one point. The doctor said his lungs were clear and that all he had was some congestion sitting at the top of his lungs. His ears showed some fluid in them but no infection. Chris spent the next week adjusting him 2-3 times per day and the fluid was gone. Overall Will is a very healthy and happy baby and Chris and I could not have asked for more. This weekend we are going on our first road trip with him up to Pinetop to stay with some of our friends (his godmother) at their cabin. It should be interesting! Pics to come...as always!



First Easter

Will's first Easter was a typical Sunday hanging out at my mom's house. We enjoyed spending time with his cousins Leighan and Kennedy and also getting lots of goodies from the Easter Bunny in his Easter basket. Because he was teething we actually missed church...for the first time EVER. I couldn't believe it. Anyways we spent another wonderful Sunday with family...tradition.
