nine months of bob

physically: he is so dang big! he doesn't have a doc appt till next month, but i am guessing he's 18+ pounds and maybe 29 inches. love love love my big boy.

teeth: 6 teeth. 2 more on the way out.

eats: everything. doesn't turn down anything at all right now. such a chunk.

sleeps: in the crib. 7pm-6am. naps are all over the place right now because of teething. ugh! 

wears: still fits in 6-9 month clothing as well as a few 12 month shirts. i guess it depends on where the clothing is from. 

loves: being chased on the rug while crawling, and playing with cars. such a boy already! 

hates: having his clothing taken off as well as diaper changes. also dislikes being taken out of the bath.

vocally: he babbles so much. he also says dada, and "yea yea yea yea yea." 

this coming week on tuesday he has a doctor appt with a specialist at children's hospital. i don't want to get into it too much here, but just send positive thoughts his way. (promise he's okay) 

7 months of Bob

physically: he is getting so big. 16 pounds 10oz, and 26 inches long. 

teeth: two teeth. and i am pretty sure there is two more on the way. tons and tons of drool. cranky. good times (not really)

eats: just about everything. still on formula, but also eats purees.  he also started eating "adult" food. he loves sausage, toast, rice, chicken, and beans.

sleeps: in his crib. he was doing really well, sleeping 7-7 but lately the sleep has been regressing. waking up anywhere between 5:30am-7. ugh.

wears: still in 6-9 month clothing. 

loves: playing with his dad. seeing the cats. being picked up and put by the mirror ( he loves looking at himself). jumping in the jumper. and laying in the swing. 

hates: i can't really think of anything that he hates right now. nothing really comes to mind.

vocally: he is babbling SO much. it's pretty cute. he also started blowing spit bubbles while talking. i love it.

he just started crawling!!!!!!!!!!!! like two days ago on august 1st. i was volunteering when his dad sent me a video of him crawling. super crazy! makes me really happy to see him hitting these milestones but at the same time pretty sad that my baby is growing so quick. 

he's also been really sick. for about the past 2.5 weeks he's had super bad diarrhea. i took him to the doctor and she said there is a virus going around but they are wanted to do some labs so we are waiting on the results. he also just got a cold and last night was one of the worst nights we've ever had. so much screaming no matter what we did. holding him, rocking him, letting him lay down, he just cried. it was the worst. hopefully he starts feeling better soon. 

6 months of bob!

physically: he is so big now! my arms hurt when i hold him for long periods of time. i've also had to adjust the straps on the car seat twice now. crazy crazy.

teeth: he has TWO teeth now. TWO! both came at once. and i think there is more on the way. lots of drool! and lots of chewing. on everything.

eats: this kid LOVES food. he is currently eating puree'd foods but i also give him little snack crackers every meal as well. his favorite puree'd food so far is mangos. this kid has mangos everyday and can't seem to get enough of it. 

sleeps: bob is doing really well. sleep training last month was the best decision ever. he goes down at 7pm and usually sleeps till 7. we just moved so he's been having a few rough nights and waking up earlier than he should. theres been a handful of 4:30-5am mornings. ugh.

wears: this kid is now in 6 month clothing. i packed away all this 3-6 month stuff because all the onesies and tshirts were too small. i want him to stop! stay little forever bob. 

loves: he loves eating (especially mangos). t.v in the mornings. his dad making him laugh. mj kitty. 

hates: i don't know that he has any hates right now. i'm trying to think of something, and i don't think there is anything.

vocally:he is babbling so much these days. he makes the loudest noises. it's the best. 

so much has happened in this past month. in addition to bob growing like a weed, we bought a house! so exciting. we officially moved all our stuff in yesterday. now we are working on unpacking, and making our homestead more comfortable. 

5 months of bob!

physically: he is getting gigantic. my arms are getting more an more sore everyday with how heavy this kid is getting. on thursday we will know his height and weight. that's when his 5 month well appointment is. 

teeth: no teeth yet. but he's chewing on everything, and drooling like crazy. i made sure to stock up on tylenol while at target yesterday. teeth, we are ready for you!

eats: formula as well as some solids now. we started shortly after he turned 4 months giving him different fruit and veggie purees. he is a pretty picky kid. (like his mama). some of his favorites are sweet potatoes, chicken, prunes, apples, and berries. he isn't a fan of peaches or sweet peas though. 

sleeps: really well. a few nights ago we started sleep training. it only took two nights of "crying it out." when i say crying it out ii don't mean that i left him crying in the crib by himself all night. he cried for only a few minutes while i went in every few minutes to sooth him. last night he slept in his crib, alone, for 12 hours. no crying. SO GOOD. he woke up so much happier, and alert. well and so did i. yay for sleep. go bob.

wears: bob is still in 3-6 month clothing. 

loves: eating, and sleeping. the hubs bought bob an activity center to play in which bob loves. he enjoys being on his belly more than anything in the world. he also loves being around other babies. he's finally becoming aware of them, and loves smiling at them.

hates: he still hates having diaper changes, as well as being on his back now that he's discovered how awesome being on the belly is.

vocally:lots and lots of babbling. it's incredibly cute how much he babbles.

this past month has been crazy. we did some going back and forth down to san diego for the hubs work, as well as to see family. we also started sleep training which has been the best decision ever made. we really loved co sleeping, but none of us were getting a full nights rest. now we are able to all sleep comfortably. it's really nice. he slept 12 hours last night! so good. i'm trying to think of what else has been going on, but i haven't had much coffee yet and i have a full day of work ahead of me. i will attach some photos from the past month.

someone found his feet this morning

this was on our walk last weekend <3

we've had a pretty uneventful week. hanging out at home, staying in doors. with it being in the 90's it's been way too hot to leave the house. but now today will be a day of cleaning and prepping the apartment. it's the hubs birthday tomorrow, and then my dad will be up on sunday. bob has his four month shots on monday, and i will need some help. poor guy. hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
