True confession:
I feel like a terrible mom. Not only did I drop the ball on my 1st child's monthly updates (you may have noticed that I missed a few months...) but I've totally gotten behind with #2's updates and accomplishments. Poor little guy :( He's growing up so much faster than it seems Ryan did. I cannot believe Adam is almost 8 months.
Here's what he/they've been up to lately:
Made it to California without any major bumps at the end of July. In fact, they both slept the majority of the way and mom and dad had a "date"--got to eat and watch The Hunger Games without interruption!! What a treat!
Adam enjoys being outdoors and trying to sit up...
But would rather be on his tummy. Learned to roll from back to belly @ 6 months
And also decided he didn't need any help holding his own bottle. (sad...but helpful ;)
6 months-
Starting to say "Mama" sounds and a little "dada"
Wearing 9 mo. clothes
Size 3 Diapers
18 lbs 8 oz- 70th %
27.75"- 90th %
Rolling both ways
Loves to bounce in his exersaucer
Sleeping great at night- about 8 PM- 7:30 AM
Started eating solid foods @ 6 mo. and really likes oatmeal, and any fruit
Still working on napping. Usually only 1 good nap a day with some cat naps-I guess he just doesn't want to miss any of the fun
Really in to watching his big bro. Everything he does is really cool and funny!
@ 7 months-
hit a growth spurt somewhere in there and is now in 12 mo. footed PJs
Got his first 2 teeth on the bottom- within 5 days of each other
Saying "mama" when I leave the room or when he gets upset
Same sleeping schedule
Learning to clap
Starting to imitate (likes to make "indian noises"?--hand to mouth--you know what I mean!)
Getting up on hands and knees and rocking
Starting to "scoot"--he can get where he wants to go by pulling himself on the floor-see video at the bottom of this post
Ryan loves to cuddle with Adam but doesn't quite realize he's too heavy to lay on him. Adam is tough and doesn't seem to mind though!
Now for some big brother updates:
Cheering for daddy is the best! Ryan's favorite activity is trying to kick the football "up high" like dad. He wears his jersey and puts on his "helmet"(Iron man mask). It's really sweet. He's actually really good at it too! My little athlete!
More snuggly fun!
Big brother Ryan likes to help hold and feed Adam too. He even tries to sing songs to him too. I wish I could've recorded him the other day singing "Jesus loves me". Melted my heart...
Ryan is full of words, sentences, expressions, energy. Just full of fun every day! He's very wild and active, but I wouldn't have him any other way. On his down time he enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and a few new Nick Jr. shows that our sitter has introduced him to- Bubble Guppies and Max and Ruby. He also loves to color, try to build things, and helping me cook. He's just in to everything! Anything sports related remains his favorite though! Golf, football, basketball...you name it, he loves it.
On days off Andy has been taking Ryan with him over to the 49ers training facility. He has to get treatment on his thumb and then they run around the field, go swimming, eat lunch, ect. It's so cute that they get a little bonding time and Ryan gets to do big boy things like that with his dad. He looks so tall in this pic.
And here's our little guy on the move. This was his actual "first crawl". I think this counts even though he's not on his knees. He's moving so I'm counting it! Andy was in Ohio when this happened so I'm glad I caught it on camera.
Well, that's about it for now. I hope to update more often!
