Bronx-7 Months!

Bronx is 7 months old!  Here is the latest:

• Sits up on his own
• Still lays very still in his crib! If he is in a different position than where I out him, he has usually just spun around a bit. He rarely rolls over in his crib. 
• Hates being on his stomach!  I am guessing he will go from sitting, to standing, to walking!
• Bed time in the evening is between 7:30-8:30
• Loves taking a bath & is now sitting in the bath seat!
• Went to Acute Care on 2/12 & has a double ear infection.  He hadn't been himself for a few days, but I wasn't thinking ears until his fever spiked to 104.2.  Ear infections are the norm for the Gerd boys, especially if they are teething!
• Has slept through the night a few nights since he got on meds, but has also had some more restless nights.  It's so hard to know if it's still ears, or if he's working on more teeth.  He is happy during the day though!  Today he napped 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours this afternoon!
• If he gets a normal night of sleep, he takes a morning nap at 9 (usually a good 2 hour nap) and a second nap around 1 or 2.  I try not to let him take a 3rd nap unless he is unbearable or didn't get good naps earlier in the day.  This happens about once a week.
• Holds his own bottle
• Still goes to bed swaddled & only mommy can get the swaddle just right
• He's still unsure about his daddy & rarely ever falls asleep for him
• Likes his paci when he is sleepy.
• Hates wearing socks.  He rubs his feet together until he gets them off!
• Loves to pull my hair & pinch faces!
• Eats baby food for lunch & supper. Plan to start giving him 3 meals a day soon!  Mornings are just a bit crazy most days!
• His favorite vegie is still sweet potato's (or sweet potato's & corn) but he will eat a few others.  Nothing green though!  Likes all of the fruits, but a few of the sour ones he makes some silly faces for!

Jan. 23: Just learning to sit up with some support

Jan. 25:  I love seeing all 3 boys sitting and playing!

 Jan. 26:  I asked Boston to entertain Bronx for a bit while I folded some laundry.

These two look so much alike!

Jan. 31:  Morning bottle & Mickey Mouse before heading off to daycare!

Feb. 1:  Derek is so good about playing with the boys when he is home at night.  It usually ends up a little too rowdy, but the boys love that!  

Feb. 8:  Bronx & I had a date at Target!  He wasn't loving the carseat, so we grabbed some lunch & then he sat in the front of the cart like a big boy!  

 He didn't sit up the best in the cart.  He just likes mommy to hold him while we shop!

Feb. 9

Feb. 10:  Boston & Brigham got hair cuts!  Brigs looks so different without his wisps & curls!  He sits SO good for his haircut!

Feb. 11:  Cereal for supper!  It's their favorite!

The boys don't all take bath's together very often as Boston is just getting to old for that, but I wanted to snap a few pictures of all 3 of them!  

Such a big boy sitting up on his own!

Feb. 12:  A trip to Acute Care.  Diagnosis = Double ear infection.  Boo!

 Neither one of us was thrilled about the ridiculously long wait.

Killing time at Lewis while we waited for his prescription.  Still smiley though!

All tuckered out and not feeling well.  Poor baby!

Feb. 13:  Valentine party with the daycare kids!

Trying out a sippy cup for the first time!

 Trying out some shoes!

 Feb. 16:  Mom was a little behind this month taking pictures!

Feb. 17:  His hair is growing!

And some random cell phone pics!  

He's a drooly little guy & he loves to stand!

Bronx loves his blankets!

After many nights of waking up with Bronx during the night, mommy is getting exhausted!  

Brigham practicing his 'swimming' in the bath tub!

 This kid can stay entertained in the tub with all of his toys for hours!
