7 Months - The end of summer?

Hello friends and loved ones. Here are some new pictures that I wanted to share as summer technically and officially comes to an end. Mommy and Daddy are questioning the entire summer thing, as we really only had about 3 weeks of very hot temperatures....something about the best summer of Daddy's life......mine too!!!

Anyway, this first picture is from last week's "mommy and me" monday group. We spend time with some of my friends every monday at someone's house. I love Alec, Max, Dillon, Elena, Tenee, Ryker, Phoebe, Jake & Charlton.......they are my friends.


So, eating has become a big and important part of my life. For being such a little guy, I really pack away the food, often eating 3 full servings of food (jar, container or 2-3 cubes of homemade mommy food) at each meal. I'm eating breakfast around 9am, lunch around 2pm and dinner around 7pm, when Daddy is home so he can feed me! Yes, I have managed to put myself on a schedule.

Here's me on my playmat. While I am rolling over, and starting to scooch forward (getting close to crawling), my biggest claim to fame is picking things up with my feet. I think I get this trait from mommy. It makes getting things into my hands and mouth much easier!

Here's one to leave you with. A peaceful moment in the chair. I'm still not loving sitting, but with my cooing, moving and shaking, and rolling.........sitting up and crawling can't be more than a couple of weeks away......teeth too!!!!

Love you all lots!

E - A - G - L - E - S EAGLES

Today, I watched my first Eagles game. I am hooked. They are the best. Go EAGLES!

Also in today's news, as you all know, I am a bit on the small size, so mommy and daddy have been feeding me A LOT for the past month. I have been eating Lentils, Apples, Pumpkin, Squash, Bananas, Peas, and I now even like Avocado (sorta). So, after a month of pumping the food into me, I am back ON THE CHARTS.......15 lbs!!!! Yeah, I'm back to 5th percentile. Go me.

So: 15 lbs., 25", 16 1/2" head circumference

Tomorrow, daddy leaves on his first international business trip since I was born. I'll miss him while he is in Iceland and England (and at Uncle Mike's Vegas bachelor party en route), but I have mommy and Aunt Becky here to keep me company in the meantime.

Bye bye.

Sleep

Just a short note to say sleep is great.......it is great for me, it is great for Daddy, and it is certainly great for Mommy.

To that end, I now have 2 daily naps, in my crib........at about 10am and 3pm. It is very relaxing and I wake up refreshed. Oh, and I'm pretty much consistently sleeping through the night as well (8:30-6:30 ish). It's nice to have a routine, and this one is working for me!!!

:)
