Quick Update

I know it has been a week since I've posted and I apologize. I've been super busy at work and when I get home I am just so worn out. I'm tired but I want to be well awake for Kristopher and enjoy the couple hours with him that he is awake. Then by the time he goes to sleep I still have to get everything ready for him tomorrow to go to the babysitter. So I can try to recap the week as best as I can but my memory is a bit hazy.

So Kristopher is now wobbling on all fours. He is definitely more active and is ready to crawl. I am in trouble because as he is scooting, he is already into everything. He wants into our wires to our surround sound and TV, (which is not good). He also loves the vent covers, I'll hear him banging on them with his hands and I know right where he is. We are mostly babyproofed, gate and outlet covers. I guess we need to get the cabinet locks out since I'm sure he'll be interested in opening our cabinets.

Monday, he took his first Big Boy Bath. A bath with no seat but just 2-3 inches of water in the tub. I was having such a hard time keeping him leaning back in the seat that I thought maybe he is ready to sit up in the water. What do you know, he loves it and is able to play and splash. After a week he is already getting on his belly and going after the many tub toys we have for him. It scares me some that he is so fearless of the water. Was everyone else's babies like this? I just pray he doesn't slip and his head go under the water and it scare him. Of course, I never leave him alone when he is in the tub. I don't even like getting into the vanity which is right next to the tub when he is taking his bath.

I am having to get out the next size up clothes 6-9 months, which is about right since yesterday was his 7 month birthday and he was 17 pounds 6 ounces. I just can't believe it, 10 pounds in 7 months is how much he has gained. His weight gain shows his love for food. He has had now Squash, Carrots, Green Beans, Peas and his all time favorite Sweet Potatoes, all the veggies. So tonight I started him on Bananas. I figured they are the most bland of the fruits and it would be the easiest transition. Of course, he loved it. So far Kristopher has liked everything I've given him. He's also very good at letting you know when he is finished. If he's having a bottle, he just turns his head and refuses to drink any more. If I'm feeding him food, he'll bunch up his bib and start rubbing it all over his face usually succeeding in getting all of the dropped food back on his face. At that point, he's finished.

The pictures are random but are so cute and wanted everyone to see them. I hope everyone is doing well and I just want to warn everyone, with the holidays coming up I may be so busy that I won't be able to post or I may have a lot of down time that I will be able to keep everyone up to date. Well tomorrow is Monday, the beginning of a 3 day work week and then 5 whole days with Kristopher. I can't wait.
